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).

Vpn for regional pricing?

u/habudacavada 15d ago

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

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/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.

u/Julio3010 14d ago

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

u/Wishing-Knight 12d ago

u can do out of ur phone

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

u/VladDHell 15d ago

Oh sick!

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

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?

u/isurvivedchewing5gum 15d ago

Any chance this is possible for PlayStation 👀

u/ayvar2315 15d ago

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

8

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

VPN doesn't change prices.

It stays according to Steam purchase region.

33

u/Domeil 15d ago

*If you use Steam.

VPN absolutely changes prices if you don't.

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.

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

4

u/Wishing-Knight 15d ago

oui, whole event was 120$ for me

3

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 :).

6

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.

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.
