On a serious side, you can be looted from your claimstone or leanto while you are offline.
The perpetrator did leave some scents for you to gather, which will allow you to track him & bring justice.

This is a full loot permadeath game in case you missed it :D

It is advised to defend your leanto with a claimstone, walls and braziers/torchposts.

braziers and a stone wall is a must. torchposts can be easily tanked down and and split rail/makeshift fences are just too easy to destroy. however i reccomend you to get a plank fence just to be safe because 130phlegm to destroy a stone wall is not that hard to get. And dont forget to completely surround your walls with the braziers.

it's a game feature not very clear for new players: every item can be looted in game, if the attacker gets to your homestead... I think silver deposited in the bank is safe, but 15% tax to deposit...

join a town in the Planters subforum, build defenses and good luck...

First of all, how well defended was your claim?
Was it claimed? Did you built at least a stone hedge wall and a lock for the gates?
If you build those simple defences most looters will walk away, then you build torchposts and braziers
However if you had no walls and your gates had no locks, it's way easier for anyone to break in.

Hello!

I have read this before but i don't understand how it can happen since someone is offline. Could you please explain how this works?
Thank you :)

Basically someone can simply access your inventory when offline by accessing your claim stone. It was a change made to prevent the ultimate safety of alt-vaults, and thus forcing you to actually defend your stuff with walls and braziers rather than with not logging in. So make sure to protect your claim as well.

when you are offline, and your leanto or claimstone is not defended, someone can do this:

& steal it all
