Alright, let’s talk about this “7 Days to Die” game. I’ve been playing it for a while, and one thing I’ve really gotten into is figuring out the whole trader system. It’s a pretty big part of the game, and it can really help you out if you know how to use it right.
So, first off, when you start the game, it pretty much leads you by the hand to the nearest trader. They are all over the place. But that’s just the beginning. I quickly realized that there are actually a bunch of these guys scattered all over the map. In the main map, Navezgane, there are five of them: Rekt, Jen, Bob, Hugh, and Joel. Each one’s in a different biome, which is kind of cool.
Now, if you’re like me and you like to generate random worlds, you won’t see these same guys. They’ll have different names and be in different spots, which keeps things interesting. I spent a good chunk of time just exploring and finding these traders in my randomly generated worlds. It’s a bit of a scavenger hunt, but it’s worth it.
Once I found a few traders, I started doing quests for them. These quests are great. I mean, they give you experience points, materials, tools – all sorts of good stuff. I remember this one time, I completed a quest for Rekt, and he gave me a bunch of raw materials that I desperately needed. It felt like hitting the jackpot.
But it’s not just about the quests. Trading itself is a big deal. I started collecting everything I could find – gold, silver, diamonds, old cash, you name it. I even focused on getting the “Art of Mining” book, volume 1, because it helps you find silver, gold, and diamonds. That book was a game-changer for me. Also found out that those ATM machines and cash registers are full of old cash. I hit up every single one I could find.
- Collect valuable items: I made it a habit to hoard gold, silver, diamonds, and old cash.
- Find “Art of Mining” Vol. 1: This book helped me locate precious metals and diamonds.
- Raid ATMs and Cash Registers: These were my go-to sources for old cash.
- Do Trader Quests: These quests are a goldmine for XP, materials, and tools.
- Explore to Find Traders: Especially in randomly generated worlds, finding them is key.
Getting The Hang of It
At first, it was a bit overwhelming. But I kept at it, and I started to get the hang of it. I planned my routes to hit up multiple traders in one go, maximizing my loot and quest rewards. I learned which items were the most valuable and made sure to stock up on those.
Eventually, I had a pretty solid system going. I knew where all the traders were, I knew what they wanted, and I knew how to get it. It made surviving in the game so much easier. I wasn’t just surviving; I was thriving.
Honestly, mastering the trader system in “7 Days to Die” has been one of the most rewarding parts of the game for me. It takes time, effort, and a bit of luck, but once you get it down, it’s a total game-changer. You start feeling like a real post-apocalyptic entrepreneur, and that’s a pretty cool feeling. You guys ever feel the same about this game?
