Convenience Store is actually not that bad. While it is excessively expensive, you can actually gain Dennies without using any stamina. You can just spam hollow zero and buy Dennies with Merits. So for F2P players, and if you play a lot of ZZZ, it is a valid option.

[@Wanderer8045]

@@GatsuRage Not sure what is your main point, unless you are trying to find ONLY non-RNG method. I mean you should not use convenience store as the MAIN source for leveling up your team anyway. It is more like a freebie for your weekly progress by using hollow zero -> convenience store Again, this is only valid if you farm hollow zero. 60 merits + 1000 dennies per 20-30 minutes, without any limit. (Conversion is about 20 merits = 10000 Dennies (first 30), 5000 Dennies (30 + onwards)

[@Wanderer8045]

@@peepee... yes, because the guy sell two types of dennies. 1. 10000 dennies for 20 merit (stock: 30) 2. 5000 dennies for 20 merit ( stock: unlimited)

this was so useful! I’ve been looking for this exact video now that I’m lvl 37

I appreciate you telling us how you got your numbers. thank you so much!

Tysm was looking forwards to this

[@mabbittrabbitt]

Thanks for guide! ❤

[@zomgordhaxor]

Exchange shop is also viable for ppl who nolife hollow zero since we can get (technicaly) unlimited dennies from there (I imagine there is probably a weekly cap like in HSR)

[@randommodnar103]

So the best way to do while in Interknot 35-40 is just go all in on EXP material. It cost 76 pink exp mats per character from level 40 to 50, and lets say you already have the 6 characters as your 2 teams. You will need 76x6 = 456 purple to level 50 6 characters. and once you reach Interknot 40 thats when you start to farm the other materials like agent skill/w-engine/agent promotion/core skill I will probably follow this route Im currently Interknot 36 and just farm all the EXP mats now and once I reach 40 I will spend all the battery to farm the other materials. Also dont spend any dennies on convinience store because it cost 200K to ascend level 40-50 characters and that is 1.2M dennies for 6 characters.

[@caueferreira8159]

I will do the same, but is it better to stack 5 enemies farming xp or just 1 enemy like in the video? Or maybe he used one enemy in all 5 slots only because he wanted to show an example?

[@randommodnar103]

@@caueferreira8159 on farming exp mats it doesnt matter. Just do 5 to finish it quickly.

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

the rewards are the same. but stacking 5 of the same or going 3-2 means there are only 2 waves. If there are 4 different enemies that means 4 waves

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

if you were referring to one at a time or filling all slots, it's the same but faster

[@caueferreira8159]

@@undeniablySomeGuy Yea, I was talking about the slots(I edited the comment now, hopefully it will be more clear, english isn't my first language), I thought there was some sort of advantage using only 1 enemy there, but it seems game isn't that scummy, thanks for clearing it up.

[@virrre]

Day 1 player here, just reached interknot 38 (battlepass, used all batteries, 0 refreshes) and panic farming exp right now. Shiyu defense 10 is a massive wall and getting my characters to lvl 50 asap feels like an absolute must.

[@oramisc90]

we have like 20 days more before reset right? should be plenty of time? correct me if i'm wrong edit: oh he mention it in the end of video XD my bad

[@virrre]

@@oramisc90 Plenty of time, but I'm at ~50 exp items and I'm gonna need 75 per character so I'll be living there for quite a while to get 2-4 characters leveled.

[@PyrusnVentus]

Its definitEly clearable f2p. I’ve averaged like 2 refills per day, so I am not that relatable but I was able to clear stage 10 f2p with my ellen and neko teams. You have to farm some disk drives and invest in the right ones but it is possible before requiring level 50.

[@ryzilladxl2378]

​@@PyrusnVentus What Neko team you ran for stage 10?

[@revo5124]

38 f2p? How I'm 35

Watching this info vid brings me back to match class in school with the % and all and I still dont get what those numbers in the vid means

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

01:27 XP materials requirements - I wish you mentioned the EXP needed to level W-engines from 40-50 as well; almost as important as agent level

[@TaviiCatniss]

EOD I have a questions 1. If there is a limit to how many merrits you can obtain 2. Will the investigation license reset? Or is it one time claim 3. Will we get a biweekly mode like how MOC is

[@Incrediblytone]

Day 1 f2p used charges avg 1-2 a day lvl 39 going for 40 tomorrow

[@apuff11]

don't you unlock S rank Disk Drives at 35? i'm surprised that wasn't mentioned at all. im curious as to much how much if any i should spend as S ranks are your end game gear.

[@EODGamerZZZ]

Already mentioned in our previous video for Interknot 30-35, do check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHbGdWeEbNOgntU and what you should do for drive disc: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoWyZJJji9qXiKs Make sure to turn notifications on to not miss any content you are curious about

[@KovirCircle]

@@EODGamerZZZ Still a little weird to not mention disk drives, makes it a little less comprehensive for a guide that talks about where to spend energy from 35-40. Still love your content tho and followed you here from HSR, you're one of the best and underrated CCs out there for HSR (ZZZ to be seen xD)

[@revo5124]

Perfect I just reached 35

[@hanchienchou1793]

so character promotion, only do it when needed, other wise farm denies or character exp(and other necessary material) right?

[@Plsrateeight]

I just use custom Farm what I need with a full Monster roster and get a 1000 experience on top of it, then just go and get Collectibles and stuff.

[@WinstorFoo]

As day 1 players we arent expected to achieve LVL 40 Interknot by this week (before Monday reset) right? No stamina refresh and not spending batteries

[@MrVhatever]

The resin/battery efficiency dosnt matter. what does matter is how efficient your batttery makes your current teams stronger so you can complete more shiyu defense before it resets...

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

well it's good to know for example if you battery dump to get higher ascension drops

[@m3lsk123]

To spend or not to spend energy batteries? (35-40)

[@rtx2169]

So I'm lvl 36 IK and my team is nekomata piper and anby all of them are lvl 40 there skills are good w engines are good . I'm in shyu defense 6 I need a second team to clear it I got zhu yan yesterday so I'm going to build a team around her eventually. So what I'm thinking is should I farm drive discs right now and wait until inter knot lvl 40 to build my second team or start with my second team first

[@dobvakiindragonborn1201]

How much did it cost you to get every character?

[@chickichiki]

I accidentally used all my bang boo xp mats to buy cooling fluid🙂 I thought I was using dennies

[@Chickens_]

Why not do routine cleanup, the next time it gets better it Lv. 45, and you can already get S tier drive discs at Lv. 35?

[@caueferreira8159]

Best way to farm mats using energy efficiently is the way you show in video(1 enemy only) or just stack 5 in every type of run?

[@vuanh857]

Depends on how much mats you need

[@caueferreira8159]

@@vuanh857 I mean, I am doing usually 5 stack runs when I need too much, but when I need less I remove some, so I was doing it right it seems. I thought like he shows in the video a lot of 1 stack runs I was doing something wrong but it seems I was not.

[@vuanh857]

@@caueferreira8159 he showed 1 for quick and easy comparison, 5 stack is just 5x the reward of what he showed

[@CocaColaAssassin]

So for farming materials is it better to do the plan with 3 enemy? Or 5 enemy?

[@jacobharris285]

Depends 5 enemies give you 1000 exp but you have to expend 100 energy You can have 300 energy max normally (including coffee ) 3000 exp a day, if you wanna farm like mad This is without refills

[@V1c._.]

So if I'm level 41 this doesn't apply to me?

[@louisito7951]

What would you suggest for 40+? im just leveling my 2 teams. ty for all your vidoes youre doing great

[@Local_Duck_]

@louisito7951 start with leveling up your main 2 team, when you get closer to 50 you will need to start farming for exp and currency since it's gonna be very expensive to level up even 1 char to level 60

[@PrinceVinc]

Where is the W Engine Exp required for 50?

[@DamageMelody]

So when it's ok to farm Agent promotion? After 40?

[@veezerrscharnhorst]

Yes, meanwhile you can farm char exp, wengine promotion, or agent skills mats

[@heilamwether8911]

Well, now I’m I-K 37 and softlocked due to no more quests, and I still didn’t get how people got to I-K 40 around day 6, like how do u get 60 more quests worth of EXP within a day?? till I remember Jade fuel recharges, and tbh, that’s make so much more sense now. (Technically, I’m 2k exp down since I didn’t use all my fuel from day 1, but even then, that’s a 17k exp difference compared to other people, and I’ve done all my quests to 100% completion and using all my fuels.) Like actually crazy. Gl bois lvling, if you want, don’t rush it, shinyu defense isn’t timed, so we have awhile, and since farming is like HSR in terms of better mats at high lvl, and similar relic manipulation (I’m pretty sure Cavern manipulation works here.) just focus of farming lvl mats, and maybe currency mats. Gl bois, and gl grinding.

[@4..x]

max refreshing every day

Dont disregard convenience store completely. It’s the only place to get cat food lol

​@@maloletniyeFinish commissions from sixth Street by interacting with NPCs, do Combat and exploration commissions and also the expert and material challenges, complete daily tasks to level up interknot

[@Eldritchpi]

Do all the things, period. Walk around every area at every time of day, talk to everyone, fix every bangboo, find every coin, finish all mews tasks, do all tapes. Use all the redeem codes and then in the end you're going to have touse all energy batteries and buy about 500 energy. I want my teams frontloaded since it I won't be spending until after Xmas so the stronger the start the easier and faster I can get into shiyu cycles.

[@Rinin.]

Im about to hit 40 tomorrow and found this video too late. I wasted so much energy on promotion...

[@ArthurTing1114]

How about the disc runs?

[@TheJuicyTangerine]

Imo 35-40 is one of the best times to do disc farming. By mid 36 you should have two teams at level 40 with level 40 weapons with no problems, and decent skill levels on 2 of the most important skills for each character. At 35 you have access to level 40 drive disc farms and gold level drive discs. At this point, only main stat matters, so you'll get a lot more hits than when you're grinding for substats. There's a LOT of stats your characters are missing from not having fully leveled drive discs. You might even pick up some really nice pieces that you'll use forever (i already have some fantastic pieces with double crit subs, substats feels much better in this game compared to Genshin and HSR) Spend 60 stamina on whatever coffee of the day is useful for your account and then do drive discs, and don't prefarm.

[@veezerrscharnhorst]

You should always do weekly boss because it uses 0 ENERGY basically FREE. Free exp, free mats, FREE. Even when you ran out your 3 weekly chances you can do the boss over and over again (without getting rewards), such innovation

Play hard mode and get resources from it. A ton of hard mode missions and it’s easy to pass them because they don’t give interknot exp, but they do give leveling materials and primos.
