Ok ok you get these threads all the time.. Err well not often since the nerfbat swung your way. What I would like, is a couple hints on what im going to need for the grind to master, and what im going to need to realize some profit.
Thanks in advance. I looked for a nooblet page but couldnt find one.

Thank you for the information =) The money isnt an issue and the toon im leveling is already a colonal. Ive been wanting to try smuggling since begining of game. Smugglers have been hit with nerf after nerf with no fixxes. So im guessing now will be a good time to start as things can only improve from here.

What Tomo said 
Remember, Copper is a Smuggler's best friend, so be sure to get a few K off the bazaar for slicing

You just need a couple K of organics and inorganics for spices; grind Shadowpaw all the way up. Might not even take an hour. For slicing, you need what.. 20 locked containers? Make sure you've bought clamps to use on those, as they can be a pain to find. Then prepare to spend a lot of money on more containers or a lot more time sitting beneath a terminal to get Slicing II; once you're there, you can just buy crates of survival knives or what have you and slice away. Don't even need clamps, if you're feeling poor.
And all that pistol xp. Good ol' pistol xp.
As for money, don't expect to make much right away. People will really only pay for slices from a master smuggler--but once you're there, feel free to charge 5-25K, depending on how bold/angry with life you are. 10K is not at all unreasonable, though. You may be able to do a slow trade in spice (crate of 25 muon on the Cnet bazaar for 6K, yay), but most of us aren't down with that nickel and dime crap. Selling faction's a pretty lucrative business, particularly after a recent change, though I recommend buying/grinding your way up to colonel before trying to grab yourself a market there. Check Dreven's faction guide for more info.
But screw all that stuff--welcome aboard. /secretsmugglerhandshake
