I'm sure I can tell people absolutely squat that's new or insightful about the grind -- too many good Smugglers have come before for me to add anything...but damn, it was worth it!
There's great satisfaction in making Master, as I did last weekend...in fact, I was surprised just how gratified I felt. It also feels good to be part of a community that's got true character...roguish character, to be sure, but it takes something like that to persist in the face of the frustrations and broken promises visited upon the profession.
Interestingly, I made Master Pistoleer a few hours before I closed Master Smuggler...but got much less of the emotional juicing I felt from achieving the latter.
So here's to an evasive, duplicitous, profiteering and privateering future! Find me at the Cantina anytime, I'll buy you a drink. But only if you're a Smuggler, too.

Congrats ... and I know how you feel. When I got Gunfighter (now called Pistoleer) and TKA, I just thought "Ok, that makes me a better Smuggler"

LoL...
WELCOME!!!!!!
I remember when I made it too (almost as if it was last week), I was so happy I was smiling all day!
When my wife (Sefa) made Master Doctor, she was singing "I'm a Master Doctor" song... lol
There is great satisfaction "Making it" to your goal...
When I made Teras Kasi Master I was bouncing too... I mastered Marksman "just to do it" but it Smuggler gave me the most joy!
