Ways to temporary raise strength

[DigDog]

So I have this somewhat big palisade inside my freshly built brickwall that I want to knock down since it's no longer of any use and only in the way. Problem is that it's taking me ages to break it. I'm wearing a bear cape, a bear tooth talisman and a pickaxe and keep myself intoxicated to raise my strength and therefore my damage. Are there any other ways to raise it even more that I have overlooked? Except boar tusk snuff because I'm not in the mood of hunting boars and also don't have high Q poppies. And I do know that up to 4 people can use a ram but that's not an option right now.

I think you have almost everything covered. I think some of the rings do offer strength boosts.
Just checked the wiki, thane and forge rings have strength modifiers.

Thanks, that's what I thought. Sadly rings aren't an option right now either.

Depending on how large your paliside is, if you cant hit the Str needed to bash a paliside, Ram is your only option. Its slow but it gets the job done. I've used a Ram to take out a inner paliside (rather small - 40 tiles perimeter inc gate) in 3days.

If a ram is really not an option (due to pathing space etc). Stuff yourself with Str food on a good table. Thats all the advice I can give you.

Due to how demolition damage is calculated, even relatively low strength players can be helpful. I suggest creating an alt or two, giving them bear capes and amulets and letting them help man the ram.

I think you misunderstood me Windforce. I am using a ram, but with all my buffs I only get to about 160 strength which means even with a ram and a pickaxe it still takes around 10 stamina bars to tear down one palisade piece. Which means it'll take ridiculously long to tear down the palisade completely and therefore I wondered if there were ways to speed it up.

I guess I'll try using a few alts as spectacle suggested, but that means I'll have to humiliate a bear first. Benson, get me my sling and start the car.

Hmmm ok... now I understand. How far are you from Sodom/Nople. If I am free I can come down to help.

Thanks for the offer but that's not really an option because I'm not very trusting and a few supergrids away, as in at the edge of the map.

But no worries, I'll get it done sooner or later. Probably this weekend when one or two other villagers are on. Hopefully the server switching doesn't take too long.

Ok I understand.

Mind you the second stage of alcohol "A glass to keep the cold out" provides the best strength buff but the 3rd buff "A glass too much" will decrease your strength.
