How to know if a pClaim has silver on it

[gustavohvg]

I've found a small abandoned claim completely abandoned and thought it would be nice to use the lime pit and stamp mill. So I thought the pClaim didn't had any silver and tried to destroy it with a 10/40/10/40 humour alt

He could walk right on the pClaim stone tile and I saw at least 1 bashing animation - but it seems there is an additional BB drain when you commit Waste, so he KOed while running away

Now I wonder if there were any silver on the pClaim stone or not. I had to run fast and couldn't see if a percentage of damage appeared. I also let evidence there right on the pClaim spot (but maybe is another trespassing evidence?).

Can anyone say if the pClaim is with silver?

If you can bash it but then the silver is out. Also, your black bile drain constantly when being on a claim that doesn't belong to you.

I'm aware of the constant drain but I had an unusual big drain 1 time.

As I said I saw the bashing animation but idk if a percentage appeared. So it doesn't have silver?

If the bashing animation started at all, it had no silver in it. Since you took a large drain that means you committed a 'crime' other then just the initial trespass, so the claim was unpaid.

Bashing a claim stone requires BB it is something like 40. In addition you will still drop a waste claim if you attempt to bash the stone. If the animation starts then there is no silver. However if you just stop at the stone and there is no animation then the pclaim is paid.

Ermm, Why is the pclaim still up causing bb damage if it has run out of silver? Surely it should disappear right?
Also, are you saying that every time you strike a claim stone, you get 40 BB damage?

No, it was changed in favor of players who make a break from the game - the pclaim now always provides protection , whether it has money or not. The only difference is that when it's out of money you can destroy the stone to remove the pclaim.

Every time you start the action. Example below.

You walk on to claim with no silver on the stone. You begin to bash the stone you take 40 BB to waste. You accidentally click because you got nervous and stopped smashing the stone you take 40 BB for starting to waste again and leave an additional scent.

example 2 You walk on a claim with no silver on the stone. You begin to bash the stone you take 40 BB to waste. You continue to smash the stone the stone. Moments later there is no longer a claim.

example 3 You walk on a claim that HAS silver on the stone. You execute waste on the stone you take 40 BB to waste and leave a scent but the claim is paid so no action is taken. (This is how it works from the last time I remember trying to waste the claim)

Ok thanks guys. This is an eye opener for saving some silver I think. Don't pay the claim after expanding it to desired size then wall in the claim stone with a small ring of iron wall and a couple maybe 4 braziers. Just have to make sure you get the stone in the right place and make sure its perfect as to not have to remove the iron walls yourself.

i saw many half decayed bases with a claim stone on them.
i think that they decay but verry slow

buildings were all ok but fence was all pink or red , so i think its better to pay 4 your claim
