ZZZ 3.1 Filmgoer Thank-You Gift Guide: Anniversary Rewards, Ticket Stubs and Monochrome Reset

Why ZZZ 3.1 needs a different spending plan

Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1 is not just another banner update. The version is live with anniversary login rewards, the Filmgoer Thank-You Gift spending event, and a reset of the Monochrome Market first-purchase double bonus. Those three systems overlap, but they do not work the same way. If you treat all of them as one pile of free value, it is easy to overestimate how much progress your purchases actually create.

The clean plan is to separate the version into three decisions. First, claim the free anniversary rewards and count them toward your Signal Search plan. Second, understand which purchases create Filmgoer commemorative ticket stubs. Third, only use the Monochrome reset when it closes a real gap for a chosen Agent, W-Engine, outfit, or future banner. The goal is not to spend because Version 3.1 looks generous; the goal is to let the free rewards reduce the amount you need to spend.

Marcel Anniversary Gift: claim this before paying

The Marcel Anniversary Gift runs from after the Version 3.1 update until the end of Version 3.1. Eligible Proxies need to reach Inter-Knot Lv. 5 and unlock the Event feature in the Main Story Prologue, then they can log in to claim a limited S-Rank Agent of choice, a limited S-Rank W-Engine of choice, Polychrome x1,600, and anniversary title and avatar rewards.

This reward should be your first calculation step. A free S-Rank Agent can change which banner you still need. A free W-Engine can remove the pressure to pull on a W-Engine channel. Polychrome x1,600 equals 10 pulls, which matters most for players who are already near pity or have a guarantee. Do not top up before this package is counted, because it may reduce your missing pull count more than expected.

Filmgoer Thank-You Gift: what ticket stubs actually count

Filmgoer Thank-You Gift is a Version 3.1 spending event, not a normal login reward. During the event, purchasing eligible Monochrome packs, New Eridu City Fund, cash-bought Gifts, and Inter-Knot Memberships gives commemorative ticket stubs. These stubs unlock milestone rewards, and the official event notice sets the maximum obtainable ticket stubs at 15,000 during the event period.

The most important rule is easy to miss: Monochromes received from the first-purchase double bonus and bonus Monochromes do not count toward ticket-stub progress. Gifts purchased with Monochromes also do not count. If you buy through an external payment method, the official rules also say you must log into the game during the event and complete delivery for that purchase to count. In other words, a purchase can be good Monochrome value while giving less Filmgoer progress than a player casually expects.

Ticket-stub milestones and which rewards matter most

Filmgoer milestones start with utility items such as Ether Battery and Tuning Calibrator, then move into more meaningful account rewards. The 2,000-stub tier includes the Proxy Accessory Starshine Cross and Encrypted Master Tape x2. The 7,000-stub tier lets Proxies choose among listed S-Rank W-Engines or W-Engine Microcontroller Unit x4. The 10,000-stub tier is the most important for many players because it includes a choice among S-Rank Agents such as Vivian, Astra Yao, Seed, or Special Invitation Letter x2.

The 15,000-stub tier is more cosmetic and collector-focused, with Remielle-themed dynamic wallpaper, menu decoration and an exclusive dynamic namecard. That does not make it bad, but it changes the spending logic. If you are a low-spend player, 7,000 or 10,000 stubs can be a more realistic ceiling than 15,000. If you are already planning a large legal purchase for banners or outfits, then 15,000 may become a bonus target rather than the reason to spend.

Monochrome first-purchase double reset: useful but separate

Version 3.1 resets the Monochrome Market first-purchase double bonus for all Monochrome tiers. After the reset, the first purchase in each tier can receive double rewards again. The store notice also clarifies a carryover rule: if a tier was not topped up before the reset, the old first-purchase bonus is not preserved as a second bonus. It becomes the new post-reset first-purchase opportunity, not two stacked double bonuses.

This reset is valuable for players who were already going to buy Monochrome, but it should be judged separately from Filmgoer. The double bonus increases how much Monochrome you receive, while Filmgoer progress follows its own ticket-stub conversion rules. Do not assume a doubled Monochrome outcome means doubled ticket-stub progress. Before paying, check the Monochrome tier, Filmgoer eligibility, and your real banner gap.

How to decide whether to top up in 3.1

Use a simple order: claim free rewards, check pity and guarantee, decide the banner target, calculate the missing pulls, then decide whether a purchase is needed. If the free S-Rank or W-Engine solves your main account problem, your top-up need may drop sharply. If the target is Remielle, Sigrid, a Custom Search character, or an outfit bundle, write that target down before opening the payment page.

When the gap is small, waiting for daily rewards, event missions, check-in rewards or codes may be smarter than buying immediately. When the gap is clear and the banner target matters to you, use a reliable product page such as Treabar Zenless Zone Zero top up . Check region, UID, product name and delivery instructions carefully, and never provide passwords or verification codes.

Best plan by player type

Free-to-play players should focus on Marcel Anniversary Gift, check-in rewards, free Polychrome and the selector first. Treat Filmgoer as informational unless you already planned to spend. Low-spend players should aim for one target: a character, a W-Engine, a selected Filmgoer milestone, or an outfit, not all of them at once. If you split a small budget across every attractive feature, none of them becomes secure.

Returning players should spend extra time reviewing their current roster before selecting the free S-Rank. A character that was exciting months ago may not be the missing piece now. Collectors can place Remielle-themed cosmetics or collab-style event items higher, but they should still set a ceiling. Endgame-focused players should prioritize account repair: the free selector, the 7,000-stub W-Engine choice, and the 10,000-stub Agent choice can matter more than cosmetics.
