Hand bashing Personal claim

[pkawol_7]

Hi,

If Wiki is correct, Personal Claims still have 15 soak and could be hand bashed.
Does it mean I can bash someone else's claim with a sledgehammer, if I have more than sqr(15+1-4)=144 strength?

Thanks

I'm under impression that active claim poles can NOT be hand-bashed.

You can use Wrecking Ball on active claim pole though.

You can't hand bash them once they're dry -.
You can hand bash them with vandalism permissions, but without them you need a wrecking ball. I tested this before the world reset, character had over 700 str and a q100+ sledgehammer, q250+ pickaxe.

Thanks for the update. I was trying to find it in patch notes, but my search fu sucks.

anyone confirm the soak of 15? I recall it being a good bit lower--10 from w7, and it's probably been that long since I've taken one down.

edit: added to the notes. Requested verification for the patch notes if anyone can recall or find it.

edit: yeah, my ability to google sucks... found a related thread, and thus the old patch notes: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=46796&hilit=claim+poles+soak--w10 prelude update.

I don't know their soak value, but authority objects lose their soak if they have no authority, and Pclaims can be Wballed or rammed by a char with 10 str, so it's never really relevant.

also,

You can't hand bash them once they're dry (if you don't have the permission to do so)

You can't bash Pclaims you have perms to. It's the only authority object in the game where this is the case.

Right, I thought they worked like VClaims for some reason.

Thanks to you all!
