How to Farm Drive Discs - When to Start Farming

Drive Disc Farming guide in Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ). Check how to get Drive Disc materials, best set effects, getting high base and random stats.

When to Start Farming Drive Discs

Start Farming at Level 50

Get Materials from Routine Cleanup

The majority of Drive Disc farming and collecting materials for it should be done in Routine Cleanup. S-Rank Drive Discs will not drop from enemies at Level 30 or lower, so make sure to set the enemy level to 40 or higher.

Reach Level 50 & Legendary Proxy

Reaching Inter-Knot Level 50 and Legendary Proxy will unlock level 60 enemies for Routine Cleanup. Level 60 enemies will have a much higher chance of dropping S-Rank Drive Discs.

Tips!	Routine Cleanup consumes Battery Charge (Stamina), so farming level 40 or 50 enemies will be inefficient. Farming Drive Discs isn't a high priority for Agent Enhancements, so prioritize upgrading other aspects like Skills before farming Drive Discs.

Start Farming in the Music Store from Level 40

Advanced Tuning will be unlocked when your Inter-Knot Level reaches 40 (Music Store level 3). With Advanced Tuning, you can get S-Rank Drive Discs from Master Copies, which greatly increases the efficiency of farming Drive Discs.

Tips!	At the same time you unlock Advanced Tuning, you will also be able to use the Tuning Calibrator to specify the Base Stats!

Tuning is Always Possible with Master Copies

The Master Copy used for Tuning is specified for each rarity and cannot be crafted to obtain a higher rarity. Therefore, if you have the blue and red Master Copies obtained from Drive Disc Dismantling, Notorious Hunt, and Expert Challenge, don't hesitate to use them for Beginner and Intermediate Tuning.

Master Copy Type	Tuning Detail
Audio Booster Master Copy	(Use for Beginner Tuning) - Cannot obtain S-Rank - 11% chance of A-Rank (Can be guaranteed) - Dismantle A-Rank and use it for Intermediate
Noise Reduction Master Copy	(Use for Intermediate Tuning) - A Rank or higher confirmed - 11% of S rank appearing (Can be guaranteed)
Hi-Fi Master Copy	(Use for Advanced Tuning) - S-Rank Drive Disc guaranteed

Unlocking Drive Discs

In order to start farming Drive Discs, first complete Path of the Proxy II & Unlock Routine Cleanup Lvl 40 so that you can get S-Rank Discs.

Best Way to Farm Drive Discs

Collect Discs in Routine Cleanup

Consume Battery Charge in Routine Cleanup to get Drive Discs. S-Rank Drive Discs will drop when defeating enemies of level 40 or above, so you may be able to use them as is.

Dismantle Unnecessary Drive Disc to get Master Copies

Music Store Guide

Also Available in Weekly Boss/Expert Challenge

In addition to Dismantling the Discs you own, Master Copies can also be obtained by completing Weekly Boss (Notorious Hunt) and Expert Challenges. You can only receive rewards for Notorious Hunt up to three times a week, so be sure to complete that as much as possible.

Use Tuning to get Drive Discs

Once you have enough Master Copies, go to the Music Store and tune them. For both Beginner and Advanced levels, you can tune one Disc by consuming 5 Master Copies for each color.

Specify the Track With the Desired Effect

When Tuning Discs, you can select which effect the Drive Disc will have. The type of Drive Disc you want will depend on the character, so be sure to specify the effect.

First get Discs for Partitions 1-3

Drive Discs have 6 Partitions (slots), and you can specify which one to make when tuning. Partitions 1 to 3 have fixed Base Stats and are easy to farm, so it is recommended to start with those.

Tips!	You can designate which Partition you want for free when you reach Music Store level 2!

Use Tuning Calibrator for Partitions 4-6

The Base Stats for Partitions 4 to 6 are random, but if you use the Tuning Calibrator you can specify the stats before tuning them. In particular, it would be a good idea to give priority to Partition 5, which has many types of Base Stats.

How to Use Tuning Calibrator

Check the Obtained Drive Disc

Check the Partition and Base Stats of the Drive Disc you obtained, as well as the effect and number of random stats.

Enhance it if You Have a Good Drive Disc

If you have the Partition and good effects you want, go ahead and enhance it. A random status slot will be unlocked (or randomly enhanced if it is already full) for every 3 stages it is enhanced.

Dismantle Unnecessary Drive Discs and Repeat Tuning

Dismantle unnecessary items, such as Drive Discs that did not get good random stats when enhancing them, and go back to Tuning again. Using the Filter and Select all function will allow you to quickly dismantle unnecessary Drive Discs.

Best Drive Disc Stats to Farm

Ideal Stats Depend on the Partition

Farm Random Status for Partitions 1-3

The Base Stats of Drive Discs for Partitions 1 to 3 Drive Disc are fixed, so you will farm the best random stats for those. Since it is rare for all 4 types to have the desired stats, keep the ones that have 3 (or more) random stats that you want.

Farm Base Stats for Partitions 4-6

Drive Discs for Partitions 4 to 6 come with 6 or 9 kinds of Base Stats, and the Base Stats have higher values ​​than Random Stats so you are looking for a Disc that has the effects you want as the Base Stats.

Base Stat List for Each Part

The Number of Random Stats is Important

For Drive Discs with 3 or fewer random stats, 1 effect will be added for every 3 levels of enhancement. If it already has 4 effects, one of them will be randomly strengthened. If there are already 4 types, unnecessary stats will not be added. Therefore, if all 4 types are there from the start, it will be easier to farm one that matches your character.

Tips!	The same effect cannot be applied twice to the same Drive Disc. It also will not be the same as one of its Base Stats. But the numeric value and % buffs for HP, ATK, and DEF are considered to be different (can be added to the same Disc).

Random Stats List

CRIT Stats are Best for Attackers

For Attack and Stun characters who spend a long time in battle and needs to deal damage, we recommend increasing their firepower with CRIT Rate and Crit DMG. Other options include ATK, Anomaly Proficiency, and Penetration, which will also help increase firepower.

HP and DEF are Important for Support Roles

Support and Defense Characters who help their allies' with buffs and defense have a lower priority when it comes to farming Drive Discs compared to Attackers. However, if you increase your durability with HP and DEF, it will help with survivability.

Tips!	If you have Attackers with the same Attribute, it will be efficient if they equip the remaining Drive Discs you got during the farming process!

How to Choose Disk Set Effects

The Basic Strategy is to have a 4-Piece and 2-Piece Set

Each track has a 4-Piece and 2-Piece Set Effect. Even if you have 6 of the same tracks, it will still have the same effect as having 4 pieces, so it is best to combine 2 types of tracks.

Select Equipment by Character's Attribute or Specialty

Each character has a Drive Disc that best suits them. For example, Anby works well with Thunder Metal which has Electric Attribute enhancement and also Shockstar Disco that has Impact enhancement. Prioritize the tracks that match their Attribute and Specialty.

Do not Specify Attribute for 4-Piece Effect

Tracks that do not specify Attributes can be used for characters with any Attribute, so they are more versatile than those that specify Attributes. Therefore, if you are creating a 4-Piece Set for the first time, we recommend tracks that do not specify Attributes.
