Although the main goal of the common Smuggler is easy profit by circumventing taxes and embargoes, or by trading forbidden goods, they do not flinch from murdering and robbing those who find out about their operations. Smugglers can be found at hidden spots close to larger cities or in remote hideouts where they store their goods. Even though they are usually not well equipped for combat, their determination not to lose profit makes them still opponents to be reckoned with. Only lightly armoured, they usually try to retreat if they get seriously hurt or outnumbered.

Knight hunting guide:
Magic: 20/20
Kill: 30/30
Econ: 50/50
Smugglers are weaker than Wild Warrior or Bandit but they usually appear with Wild Warriors and Bandits. They are a bit waste to kill with magic so better wait until you got skills 30/30 or 35/35 and kill them with a weapon attack 25+. They won't damage much but it will take some time to kill them. At skills 50/50 smugglers are getting economic. At this level you can kill both smugglers,Bandits and Wild Warriors in an economic way. You can meet them all if you go Dark Cathedral or Bandit Camp. Watch out for lurers and lured creatures. Hunter can be lured to Bandit Camp. GS can be lured to Lorbas house (on the way to Dark Cathedral). And orc riders can be lured to Dark Cathedral.
Paladin hunting guide:
Kill: 8
Econ: 15
Level 8+: Smugglers are weak. They are weaker than Wild Warriors or Bandits. You should be using arrows at them. Since bolts are a bit waste and just shoot until the Smuggler dies. Smugglers usually appear with Bandits and Wild Warriors. So you should know how to kill Wild Warriors and Bandits before killing Smugglers. Smugglers only appear in big spawns like Bandit Camp and Dark Cathedral. Since there are often creatures there in groups you should wait until it starting to become economic to hunt them. Watch out for luring. Hunter can be lured to Bandit Camp. GS can be lured to Lorbas house (on the way to Dark Cathedral). Orc riders can be lured to Dark Cathedral.
Level 15+: At this level smugglers should start get economic. You will also use less arrows per Smuggler since your distance skill is growing. You can meet group of creatures without problems now. Watch out for luring. Hunter can be lured to Bandit Camp. GS can be lured to Lorbas house (on the way to Dark Cathedral). Orc riders can be lured to Dark Cathedral.
Mage hunting guide:
Items needed for (a safe hunt):
* 1 BP of manafluids
* 1 BP of LMM runes
* 1 BP of fireball runes
* 1 BP of IH
Introduction: Smugglers are very easy. You can try to kill them together with blocker if you are scared to meet them alone.
Hunting with blocker:
As soon as you get your first wand/rod you can go kill Smugglers with blocker. You don't need any strong runes but you can take some weak runes with you to kill Smuggler faster. The blocker should know how to do in case if you find lured creatures like hunters, GS and orc riders. It won't be waste for the blocker to block Smugglers. Use 1 or 2 manafluids in case if your mana runs out.
Hunting solo:
You can hunt Smugglers solo without a blocker even at low levels. They are much easier than Bandits or Wild Warriors. Grab your wand or rod and start shooting at them. Run from it or run around while shooting your wand or rod. You can try to use LMM to kill them faster. Use 1 or 2 manafluids if your mana runs out. If you find a group of Smugglers, don't panic. Just shoot your FBs and kill them with it together with your wand or rod. You usually find group of Smugglers in Dark Cathedral and Bandit Camp. Be ready to meet lured creatures if you go there sometimes. GS can be lured to Lorbas House on the way to Dark Cathedral. Orc riders can be lured to the entrace of Dark Cathedral. Hunters can be lured at the Bandit Camp.
Attacks
1. Close Combat
Smugglers are using close combat. They are weaker then Wild Warriors or Bandits but they can still make much damage with close combat. It's easy for avoid it for a mage or paladin since they are slow. The maximum damage of smuggler is 30 when you don't have equipment on you. The normal maximum damage is 20.
2. Flee from battle
Smugglers can flee from battle when they are at low hitpoints. If you follow them you can usually lure more Smugglers, Bandits or Wild Warriors. The best way to stop them is the corner them or kill them.
