Why Consultation Booth Matters Now
Zenless Zone Zero’s recent content cadence has kept resource demand high, particularly with new banners on the horizon and high-level material sinks post-launch. Historically, events like this have offered efficient currency and item gains—especially important given current Inter-Knot progression bottlenecks and banner overlap concerns for mid-November. This event offers one of the few ways to amass Polychromes in significant amounts without direct microtransactions.
Event Structure & Mechanics
Eligibility & How To Start
- Reach Inter-Knot Lv. 15 (progress through daily commissions and story tasks)
- Complete Agent Story: "Mole in the Hole (I)" (this requirement may gate newer players; prioritize this chapter)
- Head to Sailume Bay during the event window to access the Proxies’ Consultation Booth
Five Consultation Categories
Each category unlocks after completing the previous one and waiting for a set duration:
– Warding Off the Strange
– Decoding Dreams
– Fortune-Telling Revelations
– Soothing Troubled Minds
– Health is Wealth
Players must complete a series of consulting commissions—smaller, narrative-driven tasks aligned with each theme. Progression is time-gated: once you finish a category, you must wait (duration not detailed in official materials) before the next unlocks.
Compact Event Progression Table
| Category Number | Category Name | Unlock Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Warding Off the Strange | Event start |
| 2 | Decoding Dreams | Complete previous + wait |
| 3 | Fortune-Telling Revelations | Complete previous + wait |
| 4 | Soothing Troubled Minds | Complete previous + wait |
| 5 | Health is Wealth | Complete previous + wait |
Note: Exact wait times between category unlocks are not stated in official materials.
Event Rewards (What to Expect)
Completion of each consultation category and related commissions yields:
– Tuning Calibrator (key for weapon and agent enhancements)
– Polychromes (multi-purpose premium currency)
– Upgrade Materials (varied, tailored to commissions; details not all disclosed)
Strategies for F2P and low-spend:
– Daily Logins and Session Management: With sequential unlocking, log in early and often to avoid missing out due to possible wait timers.
– Focus on Agent Upgrades: Use gained materials to push high-priority Agents or core team synergies before next banner phase drops.
– Resource Reserve Caution: Hoard Polychromes for confirmed or speculative upcoming banners unless you have a short-term pull plan—Zenless trends show that small events are a mainstay F2P source.
Timeline & Overlap with In-Game Cycles
- Event runs for 12 days (2025-11-05 through 2025-11-17, server time). Plan to clear a category every ~2 days to avoid rushing at the end.
- Banner conflicts have not been detailed for this phase. Monitor EarlyGG’s ZZZ banner hub for overlaps or strategic pulls.
Additional Rewards & Material Planning
The event offers materials that sync well with November’s theorized banner content—mid-month events typically provide tuning and upgrade resources used by both new and rerun units. For a detailed upgrade funnel, consult EarlyGG’s materials planner.
- Notable omission: No limited character shards or event-exclusive weapons are mentioned in official materials.
