Destroying personal claims

[NeoBasilisk]

We have a villager that went inactive and left a rather inconvenient personal claim overlapping part of the village. The personal claim predates the village claim slightly, so we can't revoke it. I know they can be easily destroyed when their presence drops, but is there any way to destroy them before then?

Buy trepassing, destroy it as an act of vandalism.

We had someone try that, but they claimed it didn't work and that they just walked up to the claim post and did nothing when selecting destroy. I didn't try it myself though.

Build a ram, and start ramming it once an hour until its gone...

So are you saying that there is a mechanic in place that prevents bashing active claims by hand, or that we lack the strength required to do it by hand?

Claim gets soak, so you need to do enough damage.

Plus they have a shield, so yeah, you do need some sort of siege engine to break any claim.

Ah, the claim shield was what I was forgetting. Thanks for the reminder.
