ZZZ Leveling Calculator
Level up agents, skills and W-Engines — plan the materials, Dennies and days to reach your target level
Short answer: how ZZZ leveling works
In Zenless Zone Zero, agents and W-Engines level up to 60 and each skill caps at 12. Every bracket costs increasing amounts of Dennies plus farmable materials, so a leveling calculator helps you total exactly what to farm and roughly how many days it takes. Enter your target levels below for an instant estimate, then use the farming locations and the leveling costs reference to plan your runs.

Enter target levels to estimate mats. This is an approximation — actual amounts vary per agent.

FAQ
What is a ZZZ leveling calculator?
A ZZZ leveling calculator estimates the materials, Dennies and farming days needed to level an agent, skill or W-Engine to your target level. Enter a target level and the tool totals the materials and estimated days at 180 stamina per day. Results are planning approximations, not exact in-game costs.
What is the max level in Zenless Zone Zero?
Agents and W-Engines cap at level 60, and each skill caps at level 12. Reaching the higher brackets costs far more Dennies and materials, as shown in the Leveling Costs Reference above.
How accurate is the material calculator?
It provides estimates based on level-to-material ratios. Actual costs vary per agent rarity (S-Rank costs more than A-Rank). Use as a planning guide, not exact numbers.
What should I farm first?
Weekly-gated materials first: Expert Challenge (Core Skill mats) and Notorious Hunt (Ascension Seals). Then Dennies, then Investigation Merits, then W-Engine components.
How long does it take to max an agent?
From level 1 to 60 with all skills at 10, typically 2-3 weeks of dedicated farming (assuming 180 stamina/day + weekly boss mats).
