I just got Novice and I was hoping you guys could help me out. I have no idea what to slice in order to get XP for my first slicing box. I had one locked container so I know I could slice those but I have no idea where to get more or what else I can slice. Please help a young scoundrel.

A few caves have magseal containers that can be sliced. I ground out my first slicing box going back and forth between the 2 NPC caves on Rori. roughly 30min respawn after you sliced and empty the container. Remember to empty them or they wont reset. Also any locked containers you can get your hands on will help.

I see this video is down. What was the trick you were showing off?

I believe what the movie was showing before it was taken down was a set of caves that have the MagSeal containers in them. Some of the magseals are locked, the slicer can slice them similar to a Locked Container and get slicing xp for them.

The video detailed how to move through the caves quick, slicing and looting the containers, and then waiting for the magseals to respawn.

If you google something to the effect of "swg slicing magseal" you should be able to find some info or at least point you to some where to keep hunting.

I personally was not interested in waiting for cave spawns / timers. I checked the bazzaar, found people's vendors that had Locked Containers for sale, wrote down the cheapest one's first and their waypoints, and then went and bought around 30-40 containers (I forget what the exact amount needed is to get you past Slicer 1).

Once I got past Slicing 1, I sat at a BH terminal and sliced it for about 1.5 - 2 hours and finished Slicing 2.

Slicing 3 - Master was all about Slicing survival knives.

It honestly wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I did spend a decent chunck of money however purchasing Locked Containers / Survival Knives / Molecular Clamps / Precision Laser Knives / Weapon Upgrade Kits / ....and whatever else I'm forgetting.

Completed Smuggler in a day or less though.

What are the waypoints at those two caves? And what are the name/ type of NPC's in them?
