BH/Ranger retiring into a life of destruction and crimeFollow

Well it happened. I actually got bored of a chosen profession for the first time LOL.

I had been working up to BH/Ranger until about a month ago, when I chose to switch to another galaxy and start a new char. After spending even more time and focusing even more mental energy into this new character, i had a revelation. I realized that this char was stronger than my bh/ranger, and decided to take a closer look at my underused buddie. I saw that the bh/ranger, being my first swg character, and skill points in other classes and a whole slew of problems with HAM stats and whatnot that had accumulated from newbie-itis. With sadness and a little spontaniety, I surrendered a few skills and started working up unarmed (keep in mind this occured within the span of 20 minutes of looking at it today) I had backlogged over 100k pistol xp and i was just over the required combat xp limit for commando. So then it hit me. All i needed was unarmed 4 and i could have access to 2 cool professions.

After all, i did want smuggler since i started SWG in august. And the flamethrower on commando also intrigued me. So i chose to pursue Commando/Smuggler and revoke my hardearned bh/ranger.

I plan on keeping the entire tracking row on ranger (i like finding people) but i will no longer be a bounty hunter or have cool camps or conceal or terrain negotiation over +50 :(

Well, thats that part...

Now, i need advice.

Smuggler: Okay, what resources are required to slice and/or make spices? I mean what sorts of metals, plants and crafting tools will be needed? What do I grind for slice xp or spice xp. I know i'm going to have to beg for locked containers and slice dh17's til i burst from agony, but any tips or shortcuts would help.

Commando: If i hope to grind the Flamethrower and half of the acid rifle tree, what should i grind, what damage/speed should i look for in a heavy weapon?

Thanks alot :)

thanks :)

i won't be grinding any others but the slice and spice trees. so, the rst all souns good.

As well, Bounty Hunter is not the strongest proffesion what so ever. It is the life style and the ability to hunt bountys thats why its so difficult to get and not the best proffesion. As for your ranger skills.. . . . ranger never appealed to me maybe since i was more combat oriented then most my first day i had jawas attacking me at their own will (ehehe) so im a combat freak but otherwise good luck on smuggler/commando.

I have two questions.
1) Why isnt the smuggler profession sneaking goods past imperials

2) Is the only advantage to being a bounty hunter being able to collect bounties. In other words, can you get any good weapons from it?

SPICE USERS BEWARE.

Trando, we've been having free reign with the spice kinda like the SW US or something. Come on man they just blew up the death star. Before that it was ruff. But they havent had time to bust people for petty stuff like a little spice here and there......

IMPERIAL CRACKDOWN

They finally seem to be going back to those days when "we" did have to smuggle. Imps have recovered from that blow and now are bored again, coming after a few people just for spice. There coming T... There coming...
