Smuggling Jobs?

Ive done a smugglers mission once and i was wondering, can you do more then one smuggling mission? Or is it just one time?

  • You can get them more than once. Its not a one time thing. Good Luck!

  • I think I mistakenly discouraged them somehow. Haven't seen one since I somehow misfired on a second job. :-(

  • You can do it more than once. I've failed about 4 times now because they always seem to offer it to me in Ix where I get dragged down by lag. The last time I just got out of Ix, but was caught in the great hole to Ix area, again due to lag. Sigh. Kinda wish they'd offer it in less crowded locations.

  • Sunburst - they do offer it in less crowded locations - I can't remember where I was last week but the little smuggler suddenly appeared and it took me aback for a second as I was no where near East/West Spice.

  • Thank gosh for that, hopefully when I go traveling around a little more I'll bump into one of them in a less crowded place.

  • I think there's a certain order to the smuggling missions. Might be something to look into..

    I remember when I failed one, the next time I got it was in the same general area (iirc, memory is RUBBISH!)

    I did a few more after that, and then I failed another one due to lag. Next time I was in that area again, I got it again.

    Trying to figure out where the next one will be triggered....!

  • I have received one in Jethimadh, one in Shimla Mirch and numerous in IX (specifically East Spice) ... I was surprised I kept getting offered the quest considering I was failing it each time.. My record is about 3 out of 8 tries!!

  • You mean people have actually succeeded?

  • Got screwed over by lag today; I was at a signpost attempting to go to the next area... 5 seconds... 10 seconds... 15 seconds and the lizard shows up... bam, caught. Ugh. You can't do ANYTHING when that happens. Total pain in the rear. 

    I've succeeded about 5 times and lost twice. It's pretty easy unless the game freezes up.

  • Oddly, I've gotten it multiple times in Ix as well (a terrible place for it as others have mentioned). 

    But it's one of my favorite parts of the game. Not so much because of the diamond, but because it's such a rush to succeed! Thrilling!

  • I've never even seen a Smuggler! Let alone get a mission.

  • Yes. What triggers this quest?

  • Lag always gets me on smuggling runs. I have yet to do one successfully.

  • It's just luck to get a smuggler quest, though it seems that only some streets are places where there's a chance to get one. 

    I nearly got lagged and caught on my smuggling run today, but not quite! The reward was mine in the end. Can't recall exactly where I got my invitation, but it wasn't anywhere mentioned above. Bortola somewhere I think.

  • What's the reward for this?? Confess! I got it once, but was on a laggy laptop, and got caught on the first dude :(

  • where do u get smuggling missions?
    Posted 14 months ago by wuilyl Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I noticed that the deimaginator won't teleport (or whatever that shiny portal in the ground thing he does is) if you stay within a certain distance of him (a screen or two's worth?), so if you just walk slowly enough, he won't keep on popping up randomly in front of you as you walk.

    Even with a bit o'lag, last smuggling mission I managed to pet piggies, water trees, milk a few butterflies, even mine a little...and then whenever he'd enter my screen, I'd walk away a bit more.  But not too far. ;)  He never would try to teleport closer to me (you don't hear the portal noises) and he would just walk at his slow steady pace, which made him easy to jump over or just walk further away from.

    Perhaps that spoils the urgency of the mission, but it was a lot of fun to watch the super-serious lizard slowly stalking towards me as I went along my merry smuggling way.

    (Also, awesome forum post #!)

  • Yes! I finally completed it! :D Did what Muffin suggested and kept stopping every few steps to stay slow and keep him about a screen away. I didn't have the time to pet or water or anything, but I managed to get it done, hooray!

    And you get a walloping big diamond for it Wuily.

  • I got it in Flipside in beta, IIRC, and when I got to Gilberto Gamera Way, I made the mistake of jumping down the stairs... never even saw the deimaginator, but he me got nonetheless. Haven't gotten it again since.

  • Seems there are only fixed starting and ending locations for smuggling jobs:
