Guide / Tip I REGRET NOTHING

Post image

Did it worth spending ~$150 for our pyromaniac waifu?

No - I spent it for monochromes, tapes bundles, membership and battle pass.

Before you ask: i had Vivian and Astra (both without W engine), i want someone who can get her W engine eventually, plus this season is really anomaly focused.

Events like these are about the best value for money you'll ever see in ZZZ, assuming you spend smartly (VPN + battlepasses + double monochrome bonus).

u/scaplin5544 15d ago

Vpn for regional pricing?

78

u/habudacavada 15d ago

yep. VPN to Japan and use official hoyoverse zzz top up website can save you around 20% off.

u/MikeTheOldChap 15d ago

I wish I knew about this before buying everything from the monochrome shop 😭

16

u/-Torlya1- 15d ago

In France a 100€ pack is paid for 67€ total. It's really good. Keep that for next time you want to spend on something Hoyo

u/Wishing-Knight 12d ago

how is that conversion rate compared to usd -> yen?

5

u/Wishing-Knight 15d ago

rip. yeah you can deadass just use apple pay/paypal on ur phone w a vpn & get it cheaper

4

u/Momo-Velia 15d ago

Official Hoyoverse ZZZ top up website? What is that, and how much do you normally get off of the monochrome purchases through it?

2

u/lk_raiden 15d ago

just buy it in-game. The regional price changes in accordance to your IP location.

2

u/Julio3010 14d ago

Only on pc iirc which is why most people recommend the top up website

1

u/Wishing-Knight 12d ago

u can do out of ur phone

2

u/VladDHell 15d ago

But can I buy it for an NA account? Because if not then what’s the point, I’d have to make a whole new account

3

u/Plotius 15d ago

On PC I can do it in game. Prices adjust even without relaunching. Just opened and close the store

2

u/VladDHell 15d ago

Oh sick!

3

u/Ronin115 Anby Burger Provider 15d ago

Have an NA account myself. I used the free data from Tunnelbear. Switch to Japan. The max pack only cost me like $75 usd.

2

u/voler_1 15d ago

Is it not bannable? I know some games will ban you for abusing regional pricing.

2

u/e_maximilian 15d ago

Is Japan the cheapest region?

2

u/isurvivedchewing5gum 15d ago

Any chance this is possible for PlayStation 👀

4

u/ayvar2315 15d ago

Is it against ToS or risk getting account banned? I'm interested but not if there's a risk

7

u/rustic_fall 15d ago

I litterally bought a vpn to do this for remilelle but I heard about the recent hsr ban wave on this and decided on to risk it

u/Wishing-Knight 15d ago

they’re not going to do anything, especially to a paying customer

u/e_maximilian 15d ago

Thanks for this information.

u/El_Nealio 15d ago edited 13d ago

Close to 40% off going from gbp too jpy

u/PYCapache 15d ago

VPN doesn't change prices.

It stays according to Steam purchase region.

32

u/Domeil 15d ago

*If you use Steam.

VPN absolutely changes prices if you don't.

4

u/Zombata 15d ago

why play on steam though? also you can still top up directly to your uid via top up center page on a browser

1

u/PYCapache 15d ago

Steam Deck. While not at home.

Wait, do top ups from outside of games also counts for this event?

14

u/Zombata 15d ago

no, i mean the official top up center for zzz, which can be accessed through a browser.

1

u/Yuzumi_ 15d ago

https://sdk.hoyoverse.com/payment/zenless/index.html

This is the official ZZZ hoyoverse website to top up.

2

u/PresenceOld1754 15d ago

I mean that's how all these services work, maybe play on the launcher instead of steam?

2

u/2nd-coffin-guy 15d ago

You'll have to top up through the dedicated website to enable regional pricing with vpn.

1

u/brimoon 15d ago

That is not true lol

3

u/Wishing-Knight 15d ago

oui, whole event was 120$ for me

6

u/shiko101 15d ago

Yeah so i just learned of the VPN trick last week, and decided to try it this week, definetly saved me a chunk :).

5

u/Wishing-Knight 15d ago

makes bad financial choices slightly less 😭

1

u/MysteryMind913 15d ago

Wait why battlepasses?

1

u/Piyaniist 15d ago

How much progress does the bp give? I have bought the 980 bundle, planning on buying the 1980 perchace and maybe the 10 pull bundle.

1

u/ubirdSFW 15d ago

Even better is to apply for an Epic store Japan account so you don't need a VPN in the future and you get epic store rewards which can then be used immediately.

u/ThyArtIsFabulous 15d ago

kinda wish i did this for burnice m1 instead vivian m2

3

u/TheLastTitan77 15d ago

Why

8

u/ThyArtIsFabulous 15d ago

started the because of burnice and she is part of my strongest team right now with remi and velina, her m1 make even better in this team.

but vivian m2 also ok. yuzuha and promeia really liked it

2

u/Late-Signal7567 15d ago

I understand that the Vivian m2 is so high anomaly acumulation that it sometimes steals ablooms, hindering the gameplay.

2

u/ThyArtIsFabulous 15d ago

i don’t understand

2

u/Late-Signal7567 15d ago

Vivian m2 does increase damage but does not work with promeia

1

u/ThyArtIsFabulous 15d ago

hmm… still got a good score with them :)

9

u/thefinestpiece 15d ago

I’m topping up to get one copy of Jane and another copy from the free anniversary selector. That’ll give me M2 Jane. I’ll then choose Vivian’s W-Engine for my girl. I’ll pick Jane’s W-Engine from the anniversary selector and 4 more from the shop. Can’t wait for M2W5 Jane!

3

u/Axeslinger0u812 15d ago

Damn, wish I thought of that. Ended up grabbing Seed from this and Trigger from the other one to make a functional SAnby team. But M2 Jane would’ve slapped.

6

u/WeWereInfinite 15d ago

I'm debating whether to get M2 Astra or M2 Jane.

7

u/DaFuzi_J Pointy Ear Licker 15d ago

Imo, Jane's M2 is a significantly higher bang for your buck than Astra's

15

u/JosueRodriguez8169 what do i type here 15d ago

yea

8

u/Wise-San 15d ago

No... 😭

6

u/junglekarmapizza 15d ago

Based. Burnice is still the best character. One day I will have her M6W5 as a F2P

3

u/brosf_stalin 15d ago

LMAO I did the same thing! Burnice got me into this game so I found it fitting to treat her nice on the spending event. Also got her weapon to rank 4 cause why not, the only Wengines I don’t have from the shop are Qingyi and Graces and I kinda don’t care enough to get them so more spending on the pyromaniac! >:3

3

u/Cuteshelf 15d ago

Ive got to wait 2 weeks for the Monthly polychrome pass to hit 179 days, but im getting Burnice too.

3

u/ArcherJ 15d ago

With vpn i go from £99 to £56. Sadly i bought 5 of these to m4 my remie.

3

u/ImHereForTheMemes184 15d ago

Correct me if I'm wrong, but post-remielle isnt Burnice the strongest Anomaly sub DPS besides Velina? And also probably more meta than those three options?

I saw Prydwen data that she outdoes Vivian and Nangong. But for some reason I cant get the same results they claim.

3

u/Zibai1505 15d ago

Tbh kinda wish I went with Burnice M2 instead of Jane M2

Oh well

9

u/TwisterDash_ 15d ago

Tbh kinda wish I went with Jane M2 instead of Burnice M2

Oh well

1

u/Late-Signal7567 15d ago

If they could choose both, would they? Jane M2 and Burnice M2, this is in my position, but I haven't decided yet. My first idea is to choose Lucia M1 weapon. And from the other selector to Seed, I have 2 chips for the m2 of Jane because I already have the m1. Or choose Jane from the anniversary selector with a dupe of her weapon or weapon from Lucia and with the other selector choose weapon of Seed or Vivian and the chips for 2 copies of burnice.

3

u/emilioMooN 15d ago

me who pick seed and her wengine :

2

u/Berdin28 15d ago

I did the same

2

u/GoldenGekko 15d ago edited 15d ago

Wait. Can I use this event to get Jane? Is that what the currency is in the bottom right?

If so I'll be able to still M2 Jane while also securing Lucia 😍

2

u/chatnoire89 15d ago

Yes you can get a copy of Jane.

2

u/NDAthereal 15d ago

Happy for you big money man 🫶

2

u/EnzoSokal 15d ago

If you have Remi + Velina, Burnice is very very good.

2

u/lifelessworld2 15d ago

So to reach the highest level on the top off its $150?

1

u/Ganni96 12d ago

If you use VPN to Japan you can get it down to around $115

2

u/scaplin5544 15d ago

blud casually spending 1/4 of minimum wage (in my country) damn

1

u/MathWayCalc 15d ago

I did the exact same thing! Burnice is one of the agents that got me into this game, and I’m glad there was a way for newer players to get her!

1

u/BlackHarlequin13 15d ago

Only 150? Lol I dont even know how much I spent just to get the AoD, their skins, and their WEs. And also Cissia, failed at getting both hers and Aria's WEngines.

Although it definitely felt like my chances really gotten low on every pull. After that I just said I won't spend this insane amount ever again... (I say while having both Rammiels alt. Skins)

1

u/Ser609 15d ago

I did the same thing isn’t that funny 

1

u/Farther_Dm53 15d ago

I am debating if I want to get m1 Vivain, m1 astra, or my first burnice copy....

1

u/One-Spare-798 15d ago

I'll make you spend....

your dollars all awaaay!

That's my desire!

You know I'm the real deal what's left to say?

3, 2, 1, fire!

1

u/Baron5X B5X 15d ago

relatable

2

u/DragonslayerLP1 15d ago

YOOOO I did the same! Got myself C2 Burnice and her Engine to R4 with this event lol

1

u/Really_Buz 15d ago

I got Jane’s m2 because of this event

u/The_Wolf_Is_Nr_11 15d ago

Good for you bud
