Highlights

Drive discs are worth farming after level 35.

You start the game as a novice proxy and can rank up to a legendary proxy.

Complete your proxy rank-up quest to rank up your proxy reputation; simply leveling up does not automatically ascend your world.

Higher proxy reputation levels allow you to challenge more difficult content with better rewards.

Early in the game, you can't use any battery charge until you unlock the Hiia Center by advancing the main quest.

The Hiia Center is where you can start running VR simulations for basic character materials, character and weapon EXP, ascension mats, and skill mats.

After ranking up to certified proxy at level 20 (around internet level 26), you unlock other modes to spend battery charge.

Notorious Hunt is a weekly boss challenge that does not use battery charge but should be saved until the end of the week in case you level up your proxy reputation level.

Expert challenges are world bosses that need to be farmed to level up character skills and materials for synthesizing drive discs.

At level 35, routine cleanup gives two S-rank drive discs every run, useful for strengthening your main DPS.

The music store unlocks at around internet level 26 and allows you to synthesize some B-rank and A-rank drive discs using blue materials.

Intermediate tuning, which unlocks later, gives a chance for S-rank discs but requires different materials.

Focus on farming what's necessary to level up characters, their core skills, and weapons, prioritizing your main DPS.

In later game stages, you might run short on Denny's, the in-game currency, so farming those is an option.

The rewards at the second to last reputation level can have significant variance, and sometimes lower-level runs can yield more materials.

Transcripts

Drive diss are worth farming after level

35 hello everyone this is swedy and I've

played hundreds of hours of Zen lless

Zone zero in the cbts in this video I

will go over what I recommend farming at

each proxy reputation level I will also

show the drop rates at each level for

all the materials you can spend battery

charges on similar to other Hoovers

games you don't want to farm your

artifact or Relic equivalents until

later

in zzz you have internet levels which

are your account levels the max is 60

you also have your proxy reputation

levels which are the equivalent of Your

World levels we start as a novice proxy

and you can rank up to a legendary proxy

remember you will need to complete your

proxy rank up quest to rank up your

proxy reputation simply leveling up does

not automatically Ascend your world at

the higher proxy reputation levels you

can challenge more difficult content

which can give better rewards not all of

the rewards will go up at the same rate

you start the game as a novice proxy and

during the early levels you won't be

able to use any battery charge until you

advance your main quest to the point

where you unlock the hiia center this is

where you can start running your VR

simulations for your basic character

materials your character and weapon EXP

Ascension mats and skill mats during the

early levels you can pretty much Farm

whatever you need to level up and Ascend

the main characters you're using along

with their core skills after you rank up

to certified proxy at level 20 around

internet level 26 around internet level

26 you start unlocking some other modes

where you can spend your battery charge

notorious Hunt is your weekly boss this

challenge does not use battery charge

but you should probably save these to

run until the end of the week in case

you level your proxy reputation level

before the weekends don't forget to rent

them though there are special weekly

challenges as well the expert challenges

are your world bosses you need to farm

these to level up your character skills

and materials for synthesizing your

drive discs I recommend waiting until

the next proxy level to farm these since

the rewards go up quite a bit this

routine claim up is where you can Farm

your artifact Relic or Echo equivalent I

highly recommend waiting to farm this

until after level 35 at the earlier

levels the rewards are really low and

you cannot obtain srank Drive discks

which is what you'll be using in the end

game what you can do for Drive diss pre-

level 35 if you want to equip some is to

visit the music store the music store

unlocks at around internet level 26 and

here you can use these blue materials to

synthesize some B- rings and A- rings to

use in the meantime this intermediate

tuning unlocks later and will give you a

chance for S rinks but this requires

different materials and since you can

combine the lower tier blue materials

into the higher tier purple materials

feel free to use the blue ones to

synthesize some Drive diss early once

you ascend to senior proxy and reach

internaut level 35 you can now go farm r

cleanup the level 35 version gives you

two srank Drive discs every run and I

suggest farming a full set for your main

DPS you don't need to farm too much

though only until you have a set so

you're a bit stronger since the higher

levels as you rank up more will give

more materials the last two proxy

reputation levels Elite proxy and

legendary proxy further increase the

rewards of each of these modes I made a

chart for the drop rates at at each

proxy reputation level for every mode so

you can see the overall drop rate

increases as you rank up in general you

should Farm whatever is necessary to

level up your characters their core

skills and W engines focusing on your

main DPS and then use the rest of your

battery charges as you see fit you will

probably be sure on Denny's the ingame

currency later so you can always Farm

those if you run out of options some

drops are RNG between two numbers and I

estimated the rate assuming a 50% chance

between the two the Ascension and skill

material seem to have some crazy variant

at the second to last reputation level

if you're lucky a run at the lower level

can give more materials here so you can

prearm those if you're feeling lucky

before waking up to the last proxy level

I think that's all for now don't stress

too much about spending all your

resources super efficiently we play

games to have fun and it's completely

fine if you did something inefficient

because in the long run it likely won't

make a difference take your time enjoy

the game at your own pace thank you for
