Smugglers?

[AckerZ]

Can anyone point me to a good guide about the smuggler missions?

From what I can gather they are for med-high level players and grant you access to some loots that are only available in smuggler instances?

For the people that have done the smuggler missions, is it worthwhile?

First you gotta visit the Smuggler's HQ on Arkadia at around 27300, 27500 and join Smugglers for 1000 ped tt worth of arkoins (as a bonus you get a nice set of black and red smuggler clothes; some people do it solely for the clothes and stop at that). Then you need to finish 6 stages in IFN challenges (5 + 1 repeatable) on each of four underground mobs: Wombana, Navi, Badger and Togolossi. All that gives you access to the Warehouses where you can hunt IFN personel. Here is an example of what you find in the smallest of the warehouses. It's all old news and the hype has long since died out, but as a smuggler you now also has access to the newer smugglers' base on Ark Moon and some missions there and can buy discounted Hacking Devices to start the waves of smuggler mechs.
