One thing I’ve been neglecting to do enough in 7 Days To Die is grinding missions. I’ve been quite busy trying to sustain myself while getting some exploring done. It was however time to crack some knuckles and work on increasing my tier.
Missions have always been something I’ve rather skipped putting much effort in during my last few play thoughts of the 7 Days To Die. All I know about them is they can reward some nice items when you tier up and sell stuff I might need at a later date.
Also from my limited understanding each of the NPCs keeps their progress separate from the others. So if I was to run into the same NPC I had done missions for before I could keep grinding at the tier level I as it. If however, they are different types I’d have to start over at tier one.
I also wanted to head up north anyways to check on item respawning and do a bit of clearing if I could for further loot. Supplied levels at the base were a lot lower than it would have liked.
For the most part, I picked whatever mission was first without much thought about them. Many of them were basic go and fetch an item from the location kind of missions. These were quite simple as I did not need to find all the zombies in an area that was being counted for the mission like I would with a clear zombies mission.
Ultimately having a bicycle is not that great of a mode of transportation in 7 Days to Die. It was however going to be a little while before I could get anything better. I was lacking the crafting station, blueprints, and the parts for what I would like to get next. Something I’ll be working on in the future.
Since these buildings for the missions were lower-level POI it was tempting to clear them out first. Loot whatever the lower POI chests rewards were. Then start the mission and get a full respawn. At these lower tier levels that however did not feel worthwhile.
While I still had enough ammo and other supplies for the upcoming blood moon. I felt it would be better to just rush these missions as fast as I could. I wanted to see what kind of rewards they offered and hopefully get some upgrades along the way.
Most of the reward turn-ins for each mission were not that great. Most times I just selected whatever reward sounded more interesting and perhaps harder for me to acquire. Something like vitamins I already had in my chest back at the base. Robotic sledges on the other hand sounded like something interesting to test out and own.
One thing I was kind of shocked by for the collection part of these missions. Is just how many of them were concealed inside the building itself. I was always having to break down a fake wall to relieve a hiding place once I determined what floor it was on.
Sometimes the item to find would be close enough between floors I often just started to destroy the block I was next to that showed the icon for the item. Sometimes I could access it from there. Other times I’d have to go up or down some stairs and try again.
In the meantime, it was starting to get dark. Since my base is a decent distance away. I decided to just get killed and select back on my sleeping bag back on my base. While a cheese moves to say the least you got to take advantage of a game mechanic when you can in such situations.
It was then time to gear up for the upcoming blood moon. Thankfully this will be yet another easy one. At least I hope. At some point, I’ll have to start taking them more series.
