So I Made A Little Too Much Money in 7 Days To Die (Episode #13)

Ammo, not Dukes, are the REAL currency in a world ending zombie apocalypse.

[@robertbretschneider765]

Thats why they have dukes, as a ressource for bullet casings... and why use casino tokens instead of pure bullet casings and bullets? The duke needs "taxes" from gambling at his casino. ^^

[@t6c1o]

I like the idea of making ammo the currency, which would add a dilemma of how important items from the store are since you have to use ammo to get them

[@robertbretschneider765]

@@t6c1o U cant eat ammo, so thats one thing, food, whenever u need extra supplies for a long winter. To rely on hunting is risky, to have extra food in case of bad luck while hunting as a lifeline is important. (If u apply real life survival to 7 days to die)

[@auluadenbartolli6755]

That and trader quest rewards WERE buffed, treasure chests haven't been buffed in a while. Back in older releases, Treasure Chests were WAY better than anything you could get from trader quests. You'd max your lucky looter, treasure hunter, wear the loot boosting glasses, and pop the candies and be pulling out level 6 gear and tons of diamonds/gold, which you could use to power level your character via the massive exp you used to be able to get via trading. Obviously, a lot has changed. From an infection being almost guaranteed death in the first few iterations of the game (and thus eating glass being a valid way to just give up when infected), to the effectiveness of old stealth/bow builds, to Trap mazes before zombie AI was buggered, and zombie pitfalls for when they actually took fall damage.

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

I've found that older POI infested quests are usually a lot easier - because the POI wasn't built for those.

[@codyfleming8860]

So one thing I thought about as you were doing treasure maps did you have treasure hunter and lucky looters maxed out and eye candy on would've been the best test. Do it AGAIN!!

[@stevdor6146]

Yea he should have used Forget'n'elixer to respect into treasure hunter

[@savinxme22]

Ive always seen treasure maps as more of a supplementary source of ammo/dukes/gems. Its more of something to do while waiting for a large craft queue to finish or if you have an hour or two before the trader opens and you have nothing else to do. It used to be great in the early game when you don't have access to bulk ammo crafting or when you still don't have much investment in miner 69er/mother lode, but since they only seem to show up in the mid - late game in more recent patches, they've lost significant value.

[@TareanSmiley]

Daring adventurer adds up real fast. Some quest rewards are 10-12k dukes each, in addition to the double quest reward and items from the POI. Just a few anecdotes: I spent an entire day doing a T6 infestation. I came back with two level 6 m60's (one was a quest reward) a level 6 club and machete (random from POI) and a t6 shotgun for the second quest reward perk. I also got 10,500 dukes raw for completing the quest. I put mods in all that and sold everything for a total gain of around 30k dukes. The infestation cache and regular loot cache gave me more ammo than I used (thank you explosives), a 10 stack of spaghetti, and two dart trap bundles. Melting the dart trap materials into the forge gave me roughly 8,000 iron total. Trap bundles are great to scrap or melt down. If you get SMG or shotgun bundles they sell for 1.5k dukes per turret. T5 and T6 quests are how you make oodles of money. I have solar cells on all my basses now, much quieter and fewer screamers. No need to fuel them. I buy all my building crap by visiting 5-6 vendors every 3 days. I don't even have miner 69'er because I never have to mine!

[@MisterPuck]

But at this point, haven’t you pretty much done everything?

[@TareanSmiley]

@@MisterPuck This is a problem with 7 days currently. The end game is sorta.... Just over with all the sudden. They do need to add something to do for people who are at this point, imo.

[@MisterPuck]

@@TareanSmiley I’m sure there’s endgame content planned, but we might not see it until the game is actually released, assuming that ever happens. They’d have to stop completely changing systems that are already in place and functioning with entirely new ones.

[@dasc5161]

How do you get solar cells? I rotate 5 vendors every re-stock but only get 1 cell per about 5-6 cycles, which is a hugely low chance of a cell. Solar banks are relatively high chance for some reason (you need far less so it makes no sense)

[@TareanSmiley]

@@dasc5161 So it has to do with your trader stage I think. Best chance is to have a given trader maxed out on quests, and max daring adventurer. They're one of the highest tier items for some reason. If nothing else, they don't attract zombies as bad as generators.

[@SaiceShoop]

my trick for the dual turrets is to place them a little distance apart facing each other and slightly off set. This seems to give the best over lapping cover with other each other making a slight blind spot.

[@stevdor6146]

i do the same thing ◄ turret 1 turret 2 ►

[@scubasteve2189]

Yep, I use a raised walkway for the zombies to come to me. The turrets are placed one black down from the level the zombies are on, two blocks away. This way they are aiming slightly UP toward the zombies, so they don’t hit each other. 👍🏻

[@jimdob6528]

I have never seen such pitiful loot from those treasure maps… I always get 7-20k dukes plus cash and either gold or silver.

[@dustinsmith608]

there was a time I remember treasure maps giving a crap ton of loot and money. you could get like 30k dukes and hundreds of rounds of each type of ammo. plus guns, parts and other stuff. but yes now days they are just kinda ehh. I tend to still do them and from what I've seen even though it should make a difference where you find them I dont really see a big difference in digging up a chest in different bioms vs the loot you get. I still do them but for me its just part of the game. I do however save them up till I have treasure hunting maxed so I get the most out of them. I have also noticed that I think lucky looter helps some as well. its not a ton but you do seem to get a bit more loot. are they worth it??? ehhh. he is right you are much better off doing infested quests for ammo.

[@primusporcinus]

hrm, that's weird. certainly not going to argue that maps are worth it now, given you literally just did like 10 and got pretty much nothing, but back in Alpha 20, i was running a custom server with a few friends playing on it and we were able to get 5-6k dukes out of every single one, consistently. I dunno if they changed it with Alpha 21, if difficulty has anything to do with it(we were playing on the easiest difficulty and did the maps in the desert), if skills had anything to do with it(we maxed out the treasure map perk and got as much looting gear/perks/candy as we could), or if we were just plain lucky. I was stockpiling maps on my A21 server(hoping for like 30k dukes out of 10 maps), but now I think i'll just go do them, since their loot is probably gonna be similar to what you showed in your video. Either way, thank you very much for testing maps and showing why you dislike them so much, it was very insightful and informative! Love these series you do, and the effort you put into each and every one of them. I've always liked intellect focused builds, so thanks for showing off what they can really do!

I personally think treasure maps are good early game, i was playing in a fresh world, not even finding a decent gun yet, i did a treasure map and i got 20k dukes and pretty much bought half the things i needed

[@interestin9720]

Treasure maps are only worth anything below lvl thirty truly before lvl twenty for a cash influx, not for the weapon or the ammo but for the money early game when money is scarce. And that is only if your lucky enough to find a few before all other means out shine them. So you really only have a few levels when you start a game that a treasure map is worth using.

[@King-O-Hell]

I used to melt down Dukes in the forge for bullet casings. Lol

Nope. They're treated the same as electrical lights fas as heat is concerned. Unless it changed for A21 that is.

[@scubasteve2189]

Nope. Lanterns are the lighting of choice for this reason. I put several on the wall face outside my base, because they don’t attract zombies, they don’t require power, and they put out a lot of light. 👍🏻

this treasure map thing shows some of the issue with a21s systems, all the effort you can go through to get good equipment in other builds by boosting loot level by doing missions, being in hard areas, crafting, is simply just completely nullified by having daring adventurer 4, which will let you buy T6 weapons as early as level 20 anyway, it all feels a bit pointless to go through the whole looting and crafting thing and then even for the whole base building part, you still want to be an int build to get your crafting station books anyway. as for getting dukes aswell, you can have as many as you want by salvaging POIs high in electronic parts, like the wright residence, even scrapping crap t1/2 POIs net you a good amount from the number of TVs and lights

Yeah I'm with you with the treasure map's, not a big fsn.

I'm just not a fan on digging a hole for loot unless it's for a trader quest, than I'm happy to do it because it levels up the trader lol.

Like I had 6.5 million dukes after 2 sales. Then the rent ran out and I lost 4 million dukes. More importantly, the entire inventory of stock vanished. But hey, its easy to stock the machine again. Once it started paying off I was going around to 6 traders and buying all the ammo they had in stock, and the vending machines.

[@TheLordNugget]

Yeah, the treasure maps are almost entirely a waste. I am working on a mod to give the treasures specialties: Raphael's -> farming, Jennifer's -> medical, etc. That would be the best, and somewhat more understandable type of treasure system, but I'm not even sure if The Fun Pimps have considered changing what's in the treasures. It looks like they've changed the loot from treasures somewhat, but really just in the quantities that you get. It really just seems to be an afterthought to them.

[@waltermcgarvin8001]

One of my team mates had an airdrop disappear after getting attacked while the loot window was open. Apparently the same works for treasure.

[@Cerb3rusGaming]

that is indeed a bit too much money lol

[@vexingcat9813]

My theory on why some people think the treasure maps are so good is the Ammo and minerals, gold, silver, diamond. In the years that I have spent playing this game, I have found a subset of people, who just can't be bothered to mine. If they did, they would as you say, get far more martial to make ammo. Second, they don't seem to relies that in the process of mining for materials, you find the minerals. I honestly can't think of any other reason personally. I'm sure there are many more reasons though.

[@baronu252]

i think it's also the lizard brain - if you get lucky and have good RNG once when you are early game and get that 10k dukes drop from a treasure, the idea that treasure maps are usefull sticks with you, regardless if you then get 10 treasures that are shit

[@mrhyde2121]

Honestly if you go strength then mine, but can be tedious on a build with no strength investment, so on that play though then Scrapping or scavenging can be more lucrative. It's nice there isn't just one way to get resources. And not everyone likes to minmax. But anyone who comments "you should do it this way" misses the point in an open world game.

[@vexingcat9813]

@@mrhyde2121 I agree with you, there is more than one way to play, there are many and they are valid, all of them. I always scrap, I grab every potted plant I see, especially early game, I stick them in the forge for clay. I hang onto every radiator to put in the forge. I scrap as I go. I also do a lot of mining. There are people though, who choose to play a game with a lot of grind, who dislike grinding. I see it in Ark. Why? I dislike black olives in spaghetti sauce, so I don't put them in my spaghetti sauce.

Unrelated to topic. But reminded when I saw your bike inventory full of 7.62. I REALLY hate that you cant take a stack of bullets and use a craft to put them into the "box of bullets"

[@HavartiCamembert]

I find the advantage to treasure maps are they are quick and easy to do. They are basically buried supply missions with no spawns and better loot. Now, if you nullify those advantages by going out of your way to the most inhospitable biome to travel, just in the hopes that you'll get a little something extra from the game stage boost, then I can see how they'd suck for you. To say that those of us who use them, do so because we suck at clearing POI's is disingenuous. I can go out with an auger and some dynamite, and I can guarantee I'm getting that loot long before you clear an infested clear to get the cache. Given you don't like buried supply missions in general, do you think you might be working off of a bias?

[@meitsme372]

In my mind this series is called: Iz is no "CM" Punk! (But I am;)

Using treasure maps before maxing treasure hunter is a waste of treasure maps. Duke's are easy to get, but I use them to feed my ammo supply and I actually buy very little.

🤔 strange. Have you had your drone go below the ground yet? Ive had that happen in 3 seperate games/maps. Had to use console commands to resest them, because I couldn't use another drone and the first was always missing.

[@stevdor6146]

Why do treasure cache's disappear after being opened? TFP wanted to make sure that the container does not stick around so people can't exploit container-loot-respawn or chunk reset. because previously, you could revisit a buried container and it will refill, so you don't have to work to get to it because you already dug to it.

[@bobsizzlack008]

What I'm hearing is that Treasure Maps need serious buffs - maybe along with a loot/crafting rebalance. What do you think about being able to craft level 6 gear instead of it being lootable/rewarded? I'm currently thinking that trader rewards should cap the item level at the tier of quest you've completed.

Treasure maps are worth it for me since I play the game with delete everything on death, no trader, and less loot. It seems so cheap to have no consequences for death, the trader trivializes the game too much so no trader, and no loot respawn + 75% loot. These three things on insane make the game much more interesting.

The maps are good for dukes the first week, after that, not so much. You can get a lot of dukes early, when you dont have any other good way to get them, but yeah, after the first 7 days, I usually just toss em, unless Ive just had just really shit luck with quest rewards.

[@raipanda133]

Treasure Maps are copium for casual players who don’t watch content or learn in-depth game knowledge. They’re just noob-traps. But… How would you propose they fix treasure maps for non-casual players without breaking them for casual players? I feel like if you took them out of the ground and made them similar to an infested cache, it would make them better early game. Make them job within a job and have the loot stage be 10 levels higher than the players current stage. Also make them uncommon to get in tier 2-4, rare in tier 1, common in 5, and guaranteed in 6.

Hey there, just discovered you and your videos, love them. Thank you. Question for you since you do all the testing. I know killing zombies drops yellow and blue bags is there a formula for how many you kill to get the bags to drop?

[@StraightMaleStreams]

I believe the loot bag percentage drops are effected mainly by world, land, and zombie difficulty level. I don’t think the amount of kills you get effects it as I’ve gotten a bag to drop on one of the first zombies I killed in a high difficulty world and area. It’s just luck based as from what I can see.

[@wokebutstillsleepy8426]

Best answer without redundant testing would be that it's completely random, stronger enemies drop blue bags, and horde nights gives you the most as the percentile rate of drops seems increased.

[@sathra4036]

Yeah, seems to be pretty random. Wasteland treasures completion increases the base low chance. Wandering hordes and horde night drop them much more often (its normally 1 or 2 bags from a wandering horde). Yellow bags from most zombies, blue from the 'heavy'-type zombies (cops, bikers, mama, wights, tourists and maybe lumberjacks). Demolishers drop red bags, but only seen those on horde night. What is actually in the bags depends on loot stage, so biome affects that.

Are that many forges necessary? Don’t get me wrong, it looks cool as hell, but that would be 24/7 screamers.

[@stevdor6146]

there's never enough forges. i think endgame there should be at least 28 forges so when you fire them all simultaneously you get your materials 28x faster

[@nope8535]

At this rate you would hit a million dukes around 120 days. Wonder if you could do it faster than that.

[@stevdor6146]

if his goal was to make dukes, izp would stop scrapping paper money and would probably get to a million in half the time

[@vasenkasi4846]

Too much money? Melt the dukes into brass.

[@brodriguez11000]

Quests gives lots of brass.

[@vasenkasi4846]

@@brodriguez11000 Dukes stack up to 20k and when you have a container full of stacks.. Time to make some bullet casings.

[@chish7690]

i have no idea how i manage to get at least 10k dukes consistantly from treasure maps on standard settings.

[@apackman1822]

Upgrade Salvage Ops in your perks if you have any points to spare. Keep breaking down cars, they'll give you gas. Use the normal bicycle to get around in the meantime.
