Also, assuming it's no longer possible, what's a good low level unarmed combat skill to aim for for PvE content?
The mechanics changed. Either kill the ants one by one, or lure the ants far away, and then run back to the anthill and raid it.

Yeah, you can't just stand there and raid without Strider, and even then it sucks and you take damage.

At what point is it possible to bash someones personal claim? I moved yesterday and i checked my claim this morning. It had about 150 influence (fresh claim) but i've come back and it's been bashed and all of my stuff has been stolen, do i need to wait until a certain point of authority before its safe?

Personal claims have an 8 hour (1 game day, so actually about 7:40) 'dry" time after they are built for it to be considered 'set' during which they are vulnerable. After that, they have full soak. Just note that an empty claim is considered "out of authority" and is still vulnerable (0 soak).

That I was aware, it couldn't gain any authority until it was fully set.

The claim was set (from the day before) and gained a few hundred authority when i checked it in the morning. I couldn't see any scents at 51 perc x 34 exp so i'm a bit confused as its supposed to have 15 soak (wiki says you can bash at 0 authority with no scents, but i checked it specifically in the morning after it set and it had ~150). What counts as "empty claim?" i had a few crates / a thatch bed & a few other small things

That sounds incredibly odd. AFAIK 150 presence means it's up, and at 15 soak, and nobody's running around with enough stealth*int for you to not see scents with those kind of stats, let alone bash it, especially seeing as they wasted so much to buy vandalism.

Yeah. that's why i'm inclined to think that i'm missing something rather than it being a bug or a rogue super high stealth/strength chararacter this early in the world. It was a pretty big claim so 150 was only a small percent of the total size, maybe it decayed to 0 in the 9ish hours that I was at work? It was a fairly big claim and i moved the pole last night (it was dried in the morning as my post)

150 presence will drain pretty fast. You only gain presence when you gain a tick of LP, so it could've drained to 0 LP while you were offline. You need to log in to gain the LP tick in order for the claim to gain presence.

That said, I also had a guy bash into my claim and he left 0 scents that I could see (around 30x35 atm) which was pretty interesting
