Put your wealth on an alt... 'make homestead' and then destroy let the alt destroy it's own lean too... thus leaving thief's with no access to your character when it's logged out.

Will take a bit of time to skill up to Waste... but pretty safe after.

You think what you had is bad....wait until someone creates a pclaim on your leantoo...give you the joy of dumping your cash out yourself just to get out of it.

Interesting... have 10 or so alts that would disagree with that statement.

If you're naked and complete inventory gone, I would assume that your leanto was claimed over and destroyed(in which case, there would be no scents), and when you logged in, you woke up in Providence naked. If this is so, how did you get back to the area of your homestead?


I woke up at the place I logged off - but just naked and without inventory

Most likely somebody pclaimed your Leanto and then destroyed it. That makes you drop everything and leaves no scent, then he took down his pclaim and went away happy with so much silver. Just like people said before: Build a pclaim that covers a nice area and place walls. Its not enough to keep big raiders out but it will do for now.

The thing is that it costs 150 silver for someone to claim your leanto and destroy it. If you have more than that 150 silver in your inventory, then it is worth it for someone to do this. The wilderness is a dangerous place, and you should be prepared for this fact. There is no way around it. Obviously, in order to enjoy the game, you will be moving from a leanto to a claimstone as a homestead at some point. This 150 silver benchmark should be the moment in which you make the move unless you want to risk the inventory loss because other factors are more important to you.

You were very very very uncautious with your stuff. You never bought a writ of homesteading right? Learn from this if you ever build a base. Build braziers and torchposts.

You can't logout without Homestead, means, if you destroy the Alts leanto he will stay online until he died in reason of Madness.
And if you destroy an alts leanto all items will drop to the ground, if he is not online.

That is not entirely true, why do you think people crash servers?
