Whether you're saving for a new S-rank Agent or chasing a limited-time outfit, this guide covers everything you need to know.
Currency System
Understanding how Monochrome and Polychrome work is key to smart spending.
Currency | Type | Source | Use |
Monochrome | Paid | Real money | Convert to Polychrome / bundles |
Polychrome | Free | Gameplay + convert from Mono | Signal Searches (pulls) |

Step-by-Step: How to Top Up ZZZ on PlayTopUp
Step 1: Find Your ZZZ UID
Open Zenless Zone Zero → tap the Menu icon (top-right corner) → go to Settings → Account — your UID is listed there. It's typically 9 digits starting with 1 (e.g.,
104XXXXXX).Alternatively: your UID appears at the bottom of the game screen during loading and in the bottom-right corner of the main HoYoverse menu.
Step 2: Select Your Server
ZZZ has two main server regions:
- Official (Global) — Covers US, Europe, Southeast Asia, and most regions
- Asia — Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, HK, Macau
Pick the server that matches your account. Mismatching server = failed delivery.
Step 3: Visit PlayTopUp's ZZZ Page
Step 4: Choose Your Monochrome Pack
Browse the packages and select based on your pull goals. Heading for a soft pity (60–70 pulls)? The XL Pack ($49.99) gets you there in one purchase.
Step 5: Enter UID + Complete Payment
Enter your UID exactly, select your server, and proceed to checkout. Payment options include major credit/debit cards, PayPal, and regional payment methods.
Step 6: Monochrome Delivered
Monochrome arrives in your in-game account within 5–15 minutes. Once received, convert it to Polychrome in the Monochrome Exchange under the Shop menu, then use it for Signal Searches.

ZZZ Top-Up Tips for Smart Spenders
- Always buy the City Fund first. The Resident Service Subscription is the most efficient real-money investment at any budget level.
- Time your packs with double-drop events. HoYoverse occasionally runs bonus Monochrome events — top up during these for extra value.
- Calculate your pulls before buying. Use the formula: desired pulls × 160 = Monochrome needed. Don't overspend.
- Stack soft pity. If you're at 60+ pulls without a 5-star, a smaller pack might be enough to hit your next guaranteed pull.
- First purchase bonus = best first pack. Use PlayTopUp's first-purchase bonus on a medium or large pack for maximum bang for your buck.
Common Issues & Fixes
Q: My Monochrome arrived but I can't find it.
→ Go to Shop → Monochrome Exchange to manually convert it to Polychrome. It won't appear in your wallet until you convert.
Q: I selected the wrong server.
→ Contact PlayTopUp support immediately before the order is processed. Server selection cannot be changed after delivery.
Q: My UID shows as 10 digits, not 9.
→ ZZZ UIDs can vary. Use the exact number shown in your in-game Settings → Account screen, regardless of digit count.
Q: Can I use Monochrome for everything or just Signal Searches?
→ Monochrome can also be used to purchase items directly from the Bundle Shop and Today's Deals section in-game, in addition to converting to Polychrome for pulls.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Monochrome in Zenless Zone Zero?
Monochrome is the premium paid currency in ZZZ. You buy it with real money and use it to obtain Polychrome (for pulls) or purchase exclusive bundles and outfits directly.
What's the difference between Monochrome and Polychrome?
Monochrome is bought with real money. Polychrome is the gacha pull currency earned through gameplay and converted from Monochrome. They convert 1:1 — buying 1,600 Monochrome gives you 1,600 Polychrome, which equals 10 Signal Searches.
How do I convert Monochrome to Polychrome?
After your Monochrome arrives in-game, go to Shop → Monochrome Exchange and select the amount to convert. It's instant.
How do I find my ZZZ UID?
Settings → Account in-game, or check the loading screen. Your UID is a 9-digit number (occasionally 10 digits depending on region).
Is buying Monochrome from third-party sites safe?
Yes — when using legitimate resellers like PlayTopUp. We never ask for your login credentials. Only your UID is needed for delivery.
How many Monochrome do I need for 10 pulls?
1,600 Monochrome = 1,600 Polychrome = 10 Signal Searches. The Large Pack ($29.99, 1,980 Monochrome) covers one 10-pull with 380 leftover.
Is the New Eridu City Fund the same as the Monthly Pass in other HoYoverse games?
Yes — it's ZZZ's version of Genshin Impact's Blessing of the Welkin Moon. Same concept: upfront currency + daily drip over 30 days.
Can I buy multiple City Fund subscriptions?
Only one Resident Service Subscription can be active per account at a time. Stack them by buying a new one before the current one expires.
