Summary
Making Dukes in7 Days To Diecan seem tricky early on. However, as the days go by, players will begin to save a decent amount of Dukes. That said, there are things that players can do to increase the amount of Dukes they make whenselling items to traders.
While it is possible to survive without buying or selling items to traders, doing so can bechallenging.Tradersare a convenient way of obtaining things that are typically hard to come by. There are lots of things that players can sell to traders to net a healthy amount of Dukes, like stones, raw materials, and drinks. There are some items that can make players pretty rich.
5Duke Boosting Items
Make More Dukes With Each Sale
There are a few things that affect the amount of Dukes the player makes from selling items to traders. To maximize the amount of Dukes the player gets from the trader, they should save up the items that they wish to sell and do one large trading session each time the trader’s inventory gets re-stocked.
This is because some of the things that affect trade prices are consumables that only last for a few minutes. By doing one large sale every few in-game days, the player can save on these consumables. Gear, consumables, and other effects that can impact the player’s selling price include:
When all the things above are maxed out and used together,the player will receive 80% more Dukes when sellingitems to traders.
4Salvage Cars And Sell Their Components
A Great Moneymaker During The Early Stages
While it’s not the best way to make Dukes in7 Days To Die,during the early stages, salvaging cars can be good way to make some extra Dukes.Using a tool like a wrench, ratchet, or impact driver on vehicles will give the player things like engines, car radiators, and springs.All of these items can be sold to traders for some Dukes. If the player dismantles vehicles while wearing a pair ofscavenger gloves,then they’ll get more components from each vehicle.
There are plenty of parking lots that players can visit which will net themlots of mechanical partsand vehicle components that they can sell to traders. It is important to note that each trader will only buy a certain amount of each item. For example, if the player sells three engines to a trader, then the trader may refuse to purchase any additional engines. However, this resets each time the trader’s inventory is restocked.
3Craft And Sell Minibike Handlebars
A Great Mid-Game Moneymaker
After the first couple of weeks, even if the player sells lots of the components they get from salvaged vehicles, they are still likely to have a small stockpile of components like pipes and headlights sitting in a couple of storage boxes. These items can be combined at a workbench to produce minibike handlebars.
These vehicle crafting componentssell for a decent amount and will net the player more Dukes than the method mentioned in the previous entry.As soon as the player unlocks the ability to craft minibike handlebars, they should start crafting as many as possible to sell to the traders. Players will need to read 10 vehicle magazines before they are able to craft minibike handlebars. Crafting minibike handlebars costs:
This cost can be reduced by investing points in the Grease Monkey perk.
2Sell Known Magazines
A Good Side Hustle
Magazines are required to craft most of the items in the game. There are magazines that allow players to craft special ammo types, certain food items, vehicles, and more. After the player has completed a magazine set or read enough of a particular book,an open book icon will appear on the top left side of the magazineto show players that they have already read this item or completed this set.
While players will still get some XP for reading a known magazine, it is much more beneficial tosell known magazines to traders.By doing this, the player will get both XP and Dukes. This is ideal for those who regularly loot Crack A Book stores as they will most likely have an abundance of known magazines that they can sell for a profit.
1Grow And Sell Super Corn
Passively Generate Dukes
Super Corn is an excellent way to make lots of Dukes with minimal effort. Super Corn can be picked up from Carl’s Corn and the Shamway Factory. Players will need to use the Super Corn tocraft Super Corn Seeds, which can then be planted and grown. If the player invests a couple of points in the perk Living Off The Land, then they will increase the amount of Super Corn they get while harvesting.
Super Corn is a pretty valuable item. Players can sell up to three full stacks (125) of Super Corn to a trader every few days. This can net the player tens of thousands of Dukes pretty quickly. Selling Super Corn is one of the best ways to earn Dukes in7 Days To Die.
