Aim: To answer once and for all the age-old question: which fence type to build?
Wooden fences and stone walls are easy to build. Palisades, while hard to obtain material for, are not noticably more difficult to build. Tall stone walls take an immediate penalty because even with 20 masonry the success rate for attaching bricks is less than 20%. Past experience shows that they are similarly hard to repair. Bricks aren't exactly easy to make either.
All 4 fences were created on Golden Valley at 20:00 09/06/2010 (UTC+1), using 20QL components and 20 carpentry/masonry skill, resulting in 21QL fences. Multiple characters were used for simultaneous construction. Due to the extreme difficulty the tall stone wall was completed last, but still within 10 mins of the other fences.
Results
All times are UTC+1.
