How to Get Bellows in 7 Days to Die 1.0

 

     Back in the day, Bellows were essential for crafting a Forge in 7 Days to Die. While the game has evolved, making Bellows no longer a necessity for Forge construction, they still play a role. The Bellows you’ll be aiming for now are mainly for improving the Forge's performance.

 

 

Crafting Bellows from Scratch

 

     To craft Bellows, you’ll need a few key materials. Here's the lowdown on what you need and where to find it:

 

     - 6 Wood: Chop down trees or break apart wooden structures to gather wood.

     - 20 Leather: This can be harvested from animals like deer or zombie dogs. Hunting can be tricky, but don’t be disheartened—practice makes perfect. Look out for zombie dogs if you're struggling with larger prey.

     - 2 Short Iron Pipe: Find these by looting toilets, breaking down AC units, or scavenging in junk piles. Short iron pipes are quite common and can often be found in unexpected places.

     - 5 Duct Tape and 5 Nails

 

    

     Once you’ve gathered these materials, head to your crafting menu, locate the Bellows under the resources tab, and whip them up.

 

    

 

Alternative Methods

 

     If crafting isn’t your thing or you need Bellows quickly, there are other ways to get them:

 

     - Check with Traders: Traders often stock Bellows for a reasonable price—about 1,500 Dukes. You don’t need to be at a high game stage to purchase them, so if you come across a Trader, it’s worth checking their inventory.

 

    

     - Quest Rewards: Completing certain quests, especially at lower tiers, may reward you with Bellows. This method can be a bit hit or miss, but it’s worth keeping in mind as you progress through the game.

 

     - Destroyed Forges: Look around the map for destroyed forges. They often contain Bellows among their loot. If you spot one, don’t hesitate to loot it!

 

 

What You Need to Know

 

     In later versions of the game, Bellows were replaced by Advanced Bellows. While not necessary for forging anymore, Advanced Bellows enhance the efficiency of your Forge. If you’re playing a version that still supports Advanced Bellows, here's a quick rundown on crafting them:

 

     - 6 Wood: Easily obtained from chopping trees.

     - Leather: Harvested from animals or found in various loot.

     - Short Iron Pipe: Found similarly to Bellows.

     - Duct Tape: Made from cloth, which you can get from tearing apart clothing or furniture.

     - Nails: Crafted from iron and clay in a Forge.

 

     Advanced Bellows can make your Forge run 50% faster, a significant boost when you’re crafting large quantities of items.

Whether you’re crafting them yourself, buying them from Traders, or looting destroyed forges, these strategies will keep your Forge running smoothly and your survival chances high.
