Breaking Boxes?

[C̶4̶S̶P̶Я̶]

I'm playing on an official server and only just got an alchemist, so I broke into a couple of 2x2s around my area and i cant seem to do any decent damage to basic boxes. I sat there hitting a box for about 5 minutes only doing about 3 damage a hit. I'm using iron tools and weapons but it's taking forever, is it supposed to take a long time or is there some other reason. (Thr boxes were decayed)

Dliberate design decision by Conan devs. Explosives aren't optional; they're required. You're not going to break walls doors and chests with weapons unless you're willing to stand there for 5+ hours just to bust one single thing.

Demon Fire and Grease orbs are your bread and butter. With a couple level 3 alchemists, they really aren't that hard to make and will break into chests in moments.

Yea sorry I wasn't clear. I have the demon fire and grease orbs, but when I get into the base I cant actually break any boxes, they are only lvl 1 boxes and I'm using iron tools and weapons on them.

Yeah, you're still supposed to continue using the orbs once inside the base.

Everything can only be broken by explosives. Weapons are for killing. Nothing else.

A lot of the time on my server, people are putting their chests on T1 foundations. The foundation is very easy to break, and everything on top breaks too.

lol. Raiding ain't surgical. Its very messy.
