When i broke into a giant base which had catapults set up all around their walls near the northern end of the world. Got in through their mine.
The first thing I did was take all keys I found, then I built my hearthfire in one of the many towers because I noticed that the base seemed only semi-active and I counted on the off-chance that nobody would check in that tower for a while.
Then met one of the owners in the middle of their base as they warped in through one of those portal things that was located at the center of the base.
It was a fun encounter. They asked me how I got there, I answered honestly and told them through the mine.
The first thing they checked were the LC with their keys. They simply asked me to return the keys to them if I wanted to be let go.
I did return the master keys to them. Then ran off with the slave keys.
They closed the doors and repaired their walls in the mine and thought all was well. Didn't give chase nor sent nidbanes or anything.
My prediction that they wouldn't check in this particular tower that I set my hearth fire in paid off.
I kept warping back into the base and ran off with all their gold plates, table bells and their windmill full of oscypi cheese cupboards, among other things.
I travelled like 4 times with 2 wagons full of wares each time back to base.
Looting active bases feels like being a logistician tbh.
After that "raid" my cheapskate character went from like 200 stats up into the near 1k just from doing a single feasting session and thanks to that I was able to hunt mammoths from that point on.
That was definitely the best base I looted in w10.
