Salem

I recently logged on to find out that when I tried to teleport home from Boston it said "You have no homestead to travel to".

So I asked my friend to log on and see if our base had been raided and destroyed, but when he shared his screen and teleported to our base there was nothing destroyed but my leanto.

(I had removed "use as homstead " on are claim staue.)

I don't really know how far away I am for my home but before, when I hadn't settled my friends tried walking and after about real 2 hours they still weren't there.

I have bought in game silver so I am not ready to give up on salem anytime soon .

Are there any tips that could help me get back to my home and enjoy this wonderful game for another day?

I'm not sure whether you can actually remove your homestead from a claimstone through it's menu, but in any case you need to explicitly set said leanto as your homestead - i.e. it has to be claimed, visible by the scroll nailed to it.

group your friend and follow his party arrow (make sure he moves around every few minutes to keep arrow updated)

the arrow is a lie

click his party icon in the top left to walk towards him
