A Modest Guide to Currency Costs

Сrеdit gоеs to CyclonefernoX!

Preface: Limitations of this Guide

Though this guide is intended to be used as a reference for players who want a better idea of how much they currency they need to unlock items, complete their gallery, or reach the absolute maximum level of completion, there are some limitations as to what I have been able to calculate. These calculations were made from in-game observations, with no direct access to comprehensive statistics. Thus, while most of the calculations in this guide could be made in a single playthrough, due to making these calculations only when I was in the endgame, some variables will not be accounted for. So, to start, I must cover what will not be covered in this guide.

The following have been unaccounted for:

• The cost of levelling up every chip in the game from level 1 to 200 in Zeni
• The cost of levelling 5 chips from level 1 to level 80 in Zeni
• The cost of levelling up all armour slots to level 200 in Zeni
• The cost of levelling up all DiVE Triggers to their respective maximum levels in Zeni

Without further ado, on to the guide.

Total Zeni Cost Part 3: Exp

Note: This section calculates the amount of Zeni needed to level up cards and weapons to level 80 and 200 using the green exp programs available from the in-game shop.

The total number of cards and weapons that you can level up are as follows:

• 341 Cards
• 97 Weapons

Exp gains between Cards and Weapons of different ranks are standardised. A Blue card and a Gold card take the same amount of exp to reach the same level. Exp gains from using cards to increase star rating differ according to card rarity.
