How To Share Quests In 7 Days To Die

The biggest strength in 7 Days to Die is your group. To survive the zombie apocalypse, you should never go on a mission alone. Completing quests with a friend or a whole team makes every challenge easier, faster, and much more fun. This is where the powerful quest sharing system comes in.

Learning how to share quests is essential for any player who wants to progress quickly with their group. By sharing a mission, everyone works toward the same mission goals at the same time. This lets your party members earn experience points and collect huge rewards together from a single job.

This guide will show you exactly how to share quests with your party members. We will cover what quests you can share, why it is a huge advantage for the whole team, and the simple steps you need to follow to get everyone working on the same mission right away.

Types Of Quests In 7 Days To Die

The game offers players many types of quests to complete. Understanding the different quest types is important because not all of them can be shared with your group members. The quests you can share are called shareable quests.

Tutorial Quests

Tutorial quests are the very first quests you accept when you start a new game. These quests guide the new player through the basic tasks of survival, such as punching a tree, crafting a stone axe, and setting up a campfire.

  • Sharing Status: Tutorial quests are not shareable quests. They are intended for a single person. Each player must complete their own unique set of tutorial quests to learn the game's basic mechanics and earn early skill points.

Treasure Quests

Treasure quests are missions where the trader gives you a map and an objective to locate a buried chest full of rewards. You use a shovel to dig until you find the loot chest.

  • Sharing Status: Treasure quests are certain quests that cannot be shared. The mission is unique to the player who accepts it. However, your friend or buddy can still join you and help you dig and defend you from zombies while you complete the job.

Trader Quests

Trader Quests are the main source of missions and rewards in the game. You accept these quests from a trader NPC found at a trader outpost on the map. These quests involve clearing a POI (Point of Interest) of all zombies, finding specific items, or locating hidden caches.

  • Sharing Status: Trader quests are the shareable quests you are looking for. These missions are designed to be shared with your group members. When shared, all party members can work together to complete the objectives and reap the rewards.

Why Should You Share Quests In 7 Days To Die?

Quest sharing is not just a nice option; it is a huge strategic advantage for your team. The benefits of shared quests are massive. They allow you to progress faster, get more rewards, and strengthen the bond with your friends.

  • Double the Rewards: When you share quests and complete the mission as a team, every member of the party reaps the full rewards. This includes a huge amount of experience points, various rewards like skill magazines, and high-quality loot items offered by the trader. This means you all level up much faster from a single mission.

  • Access Higher Tier Quests Faster: The trader will offer higher tier quests once you complete a certain count of lower-tier quests. By having four party members all share quests and complete them together, you can complete four missions in the time it would take one person to do one. This quickly gives everyone access higher tier quests with better loot.

  • Teamwork and Safety: Certain quests, especially higher tier clear missions, involve fighting a huge number of tough zombies. Doing these alone is very difficult. Quest sharing allows your group members to tackle these challenges together. You can plan your attack, coordinate your defense, and watch out for your buddy. This teamwork makes the whole game more fun and increases your chances of survival.

  • Shared Experiences and Bond: Shared quests create shared experiences and a stronger bond among fellow survivors. Completing hard objectives together, exploring dangerous POIs, and overcoming tough challenges makes the game more interesting and fun with your friend.

Sharing Quests In 7 Days To Die

The process for quest sharing is very simple, but you must make sure everyone follows the steps exactly. The most important rule is that all party members must be in the same mission group before you accept the job from the trader.

Step 1: Form a Party with Your Group Members

Before you visit the trader, you must make sure all your fellow players are in the same mission party.

  • Invite Friends: Open the Players window (usually by pressing Tab and selecting the Players tab or the Friends tab).

  • Create a Group: Invite your friend or buddy to join your group. Once they accept, you are official party members.

  • Check Party Members: Look in the top right of your screen. You should see the names and health bars of all your group members. This confirms you are at a party.

Step 2: Accept a Shareable Quest from the Trader

Now that you are in a group, one person (usually the party leader) should accept the quest from the trader.

  • Locate a Trader: Travel to the nearest trader outpost.

  • Accept the Mission: Talk to the trader and select a mission you want to share. You will only be able to share quests that are Trader Quests.

  • Look for the Icon: When accepting the quest, you might see a quest icon or a small group icon on the quest details prompt. This icon confirms the mission is a shareable quest.

Step 3: The Automatic Quest Sharing Process

In the most recent versions of the game, quest sharing is often automatic. You do not need to press a special "share quests" button.

  1. Automatic Distribution: Because you are party members, the quest details are automatically shared with all group members as soon as one player accepts it.

  2. Verify in the Quest Log: All party members should immediately press the Tab key to open their quest log. Check the Active Quests tab. You should see the new mission listed. The quest log is where you track your progress.

Step 4: Starting the Mission as a Team

This is the most critical step to ensure everyone gets credit for the mission.

  1. Travel Together: Coordinate with your team and travel to the POI indicated on the map by the quest icon.

  2. Gather at the POI: All party members must be close to the POI before the mission starts. This is a crucial tip. If a friend is too far away, they will not get credit for the mission.

  3. Start the Quest: The mission will start when the first player gets close to the POI. A prompt will appear on the screen confirming the mission has started. Wait for everyone to be ready before moving close to the POI.

Step 5: Completing Quests and Reaping Rewards

Once the mission is active for everyone, you can now work together.

  1. Coordinate and Conquer: Work as a team to complete all the objectives of the job. Explore the building, defeat all the zombies, and locate the hidden loot chest. Teamwork is key to conquering these challenges.

  2. Completion for All: Once the main objective is complete, all party members who participated in the mission will receive the completion prompt.

  3. Turn In Shared Quest Individually: All group members must return to the trader and turn in the shared quest individually. This is another key tip. Everyone must turn in the job to reap their own full set of rewards, including the choice of a loot reward and the quest points.

Important Note: Even though you share quests, the progress you make toward your trader tier is based on how many quests you complete for that trader. Having friends help you simply makes the completion faster.

Conclusion

Learning how to share quests is the number one way to improve your game in 7 Days to Die when playing with friends. Quest sharing allows all party members to work on the same mission at once, letting you complete tasks faster and access higher tier quests much earlier than you would alone.

The process is easy: form a group, accept a Trader Quest, coordinate your team at the POI, and everyone must turn in the shared quest individually to reap their full rewards. By using strong teamwork and coordination, you will conquer all the challenges the wasteland throws at you. The fun of these shared adventures will strengthen the bond with your fellow survivors and make your time in 7 Days to Die much more rewarding.
