Got attacked, need advice

[krikke93]

Alright thanks!

I'm on it and hope I can get to bricks ASAP but that will be wishfull thinking I guess :p

It's pretty tough if you're by yourself but it is good thinking. Making a brickwall should be a long-term goal as a hermit

Been there, done that!

Been there, done that!

I did it myself with fairly little time put into it (maybe around 10 hours getting a total of over 3500 bricks, 10 steel and 60 wrought). With the current state of affairs, a palisade isn't proper protection and all it does is make people second guess if they really want to get in.

so when is someone aggroed? when anyskill is used/aimed at them?

As soon as they are targeted by an attack or move. For example, if I used Punch on you, you would be aggro'd and my character would start moving towards you. Even if the punch never connects (maybe you went through a door or maybe I walked off), you are still aggro'd by me.

too much mats, be cheaper just to let people take my stuff.

You say that now, but sooner or later "stuff you want to protect" will be worth more than "palisade materials." Even if your home is forever empty, your character's life might be valuable enough even now.

is a fence with no roundpole better since it make them commit vandalism rather than just trespassing?

Yes, assuming you mean no roundpole gate. Try this: Never make a roundpole gate. Leave a one-tile gap in the fence. Place your hearthfire there. Now you can walk freely, but an intruder must vandalize. This is still worthless compared to a palisade or brick, but it's better than having a gate and better than breaking the fence every time you want to exit.

It's probably a blessing that your sense of security (if you had one) was shattered.

When you are agro'd, you will see the player's (or the animal's) portrait in the top right of your screen.
