How to Get Bloodbags

Look for Leeches in the Swamp!

You can get a consistent supply of Bloodbags simply by going in the Swamp biome and looking for Leeches. These slimy creatures will almost always be present under any bodies of water! You will know a Leech is there when you see circular ripples on the water surface!

Leeches can poison you though and the tick damage is no joke so we recommend to always bring a Poison Resist Mead whenever you venture to the Swamps!

Dropped by Enemy

Enemy Enemy Lv. Qty. Drop Rate
Leech 1 1 100%
Leech 2 2 100%
Leech 3 4 100%

Can Be Spawned with Console Command

If you don't mind using cheats to obtain it, Bloodbags can easily be spawned with the console command.

To spawn the item, first turn on cheat codes by typing devcommands in the F5 console, and use the spawn Bloodbag command to create the item.
