Palisades?

[Anaklumos]

Ok, I'm pretty sure the soak on palisades has been upped since I can't knock them down with a pickaxe and 250 str anymore. Can someone please inform me on this?

[sabinati]

yep you need about 900 str

[Anaklumos]

bitch monkies, well I'll get a battering ram :\

[Dataslycer]

841 str with pickaxe, 961 without pickaxe.

With ram (solo)

81 with pickaxe, 121 without pick axe.

Good luck.

I'll continue on this thread instead of opening a new one...
I have Str 98,pickaxe and ram and obviously it's taking a long time(1 dmg every hit)...but my question is:what is a hit?how can i recognize it?is it the sound of the ram on the wall?how many hits can you give with full stamina?
Thanks

I'd like to know as well... I have ~ 90 str, pickaxe and ram, and i've been bashing at this pallisade for an hour now without so much as a change in color, let alone a hole in my wall. Even with Str up at ~ 130 with snuff, it makes no difference.

Does it really take a whole week of constant ramming, or am I just doing something wrong?

I was so excited about finishing my renovations.

ok I can shead some light on this.
I personally spent an entire day testing various things about palisades, rams, and pickaxes.
Pickaxes ONLY add damage to a wall through a ram IF you can already damage the wall (with the ram) without the pick axe.
so you still need a strength of at least 121 ( sqrt of 11) to solo a palisade with a ram.
how do i know?
To test this i fully repaired a section of palisade. then adjusted my equipment on the toon i was using (i dont have a low enough str base to test this) to a 110 strength.
Then completely drained my stamina 20 times beating on the wall with a pick axe equipped. not a single speck of change to wall.
then i added a better bear cloak to push my strength to 125 took the pick axe OFF and i got decay on the wall after about 5 stamina drains.
then i repeated this 2 more times to make sure that in wasn't a natural decay hit by sever. and both times the same results.

so a pick axe will speed things up but will not let a weaker character to solo walls sooner.

palisade soak 30 -20 for ram = 10
to do damage = strength sqrt 121 = 11
add a pick axe to not take all day


EDIT: oh and on a side note 4 brand new characters and a ram can break a palisade .
sqrt of 10 = 3......3x4 = 12 +20(ram)=32 dmage -30 (soak) 2 pts get through.
