Legacy:Palisade

A sturdy wall, hard to destroy without the aid of a Battering Ram for an average player.

• You will need at least 626 strength to damage it with your bare hands. (576 with a pickaxe, 484 with a sledgehammer.)

• You will need at least 36 strength to damage it with a battering ram solo. Two characters with 10 strength each is enough to do damage with a battering ram.

A pickaxe does not help while using a battering ram, according to loftar.

How to Acquire

Build > Walls and Fences > Palisade

Begin by constructing a corner post on a paved tile. The post must set for 12 real time hours before further construction can continue. Once the post is set, right click on the corner post to expand the wall.

Two empty tiles with corner posts on either side make building a gate possible (see notes for extra information). Once a gate has been built, the character laying the final touch on the gate will receive a Key for it.

A corner post has the option of being sealed after being built. This prevents any additional extensions from being built off that post. Warning: sealing a corner post is permanent. It is highly recommended to complete a palisade as quickly as possible and then seal the corner posts. Many players looking to cause problems will seal corner posts left open (usually the first corner post being built and left too long) or extend a wall closing in a gate in the case of a completed wall.

Notes

• All palisades, cornerposts and gates must be constructed on paved tiles.

• Each gate requires its own unique key to be opened, one key is received for free upon completion of the gate. Keys can be named. If you want additional keys then you will have to copy them via the use of a Key-Mold. Each copy will require a nugget of metal.

• If you finish by building your gate with the first and last palisade corner post you will only have to build one initial corner post, additional gates will require more cornerposts.

• You only need to build 1 palisade cornerpost to make a square wall with 1 gate, not 4, unless you want 4 gates. You can actually make two gates with one initial cornerpost. Design your palisade with a front square with a front gate, and a back square having the second gate in between the front and back squares.

• Seal all of your cornerposts and keep the materials to make a battering ram spare to prevent yourself from being sealed in by griefers. This can not be stressed enough.

• A palisade is only a stop-gap measure for defense on the way to a brick wall. Players with enough strength to break a palisade by hand start becoming common within a couple of months after a server start.

• For practice, one may try building a small Roundpole Fence. The game mechanics for building the fence, Palisade, and Brickwall are identical. If you make a mistake with the fence, it's easy to see where you goofed up and correct.
