New Zeni Farming Method (6000 Zeni every 2 Minutes / 180,000 per Hour)
Credit to PSN-User SlySinatra for this method!
Preparations:
Beat the Story on normal difficulty. Then you unlock New Game+ HARD MODE. Play through the entire game again on HARD (start a new game in Story Arc 1 and choose HARD MODE).
When you reach Arc 3 in HARD MODE you must get 3 x “Victory Zeni Up Lv. 6” skills. They are won from enemies. Arc 3, Map 15 has enemies that drop this skill. You can replay maps to farm three of these skills. Finally, get 3 of your characters to level 100 by replaying matches.
Step 1:
Replay Arc 3, Chapter 8, Map 15 from the Story Title Screen in HARD MODE. In map select you can press Triangle / Y to switch difficulty.
Step 2:
Equip 3 x “Victory Zeni Up Lv. 6” in the skill menu. You can stack three of these to increase the effect.
Step 3:
Win the first match against Goku & Captain Ginyu.
Step 4:
Start the second match against Gohan, Trunks, Frieza. Except this time, only bring each opponent’s health down to 1-5% but do not defeat any of them. It is important that all 3 enemies stay alive. When their health is as low as possible, let them defeat you! Now you get to pick 3 characters to continue. Now you should have 13 turns left on this map. Keep moving left and right until you have only 2 turns left. This should make the opponents level up (higher-level opponents give more Zeni). Now create a manual save! Rematch the 3 enemies whose health you brought down to the minimum. Now you can defeat them in just 1 hit. The match will give around 6000 Zeni and only last 20 seconds.
Step 5:
After the match, open the map menu and return to title screen and hit “Continue”. Repeat the match with the weakened enemies over and over again. Always open map menu after the match, quit to title screen, hit continue, defeat the weakened enemies and repeat again. With loading times the whole procedure takes 2 minutes per try, earning you 6000 Zeni every time.
Why Does it Work?
The key is to get the “Victory Zeni Up Lv. 6” skills. These are only obtainable in Hard Mode in Arc 3. It makes the match reward go from 2000 per match to 6000 (a 300% increase). Furthermore, matches in HARD MODE give 250% more money than matches in normal mode. So this combined with the Zeni skills for this match makes you earn a lot of bonus Zeni. Now the second trick is to have 3 characters at level 100 to increase the base level of opponents (thus increasing match rewards) and knocking their health down far enough that they will die in one hit. Even though you return to title screen after the match, it will still save the Zeni you earned. Continuing from Title Screen returns you to before the fight, so you’re 1-hitting all enemies every time.
The trophy / achievement “Set for Life” requires you to earn 20,000,000 Zeni total. To get this much money it will take 3333 matches or roughly 111 hours with this method. Note: you don’t have to keep all the money in your inventory, you are allowed to spend it (so if you spent 19 million the trophy pops when you get another 1 million).
Zeni is also used for unlocking two secret characters “Vegeta SSGSS” (unlocks automatically at 300,000 Zeni earned) + “Goku SSGSS” (unlocks automatically at 500,000 Zeni earned).
You don’t have to play actively for this farming strategy. Just use light attacks, no directional buttons (press only Square on PS4 / X on XB1). With this method it takes 20 seconds to win a match. With loading times and transition screens it goes to 120 seconds on average.
Old Method (5300 Zeni every 3 Minutes / 106,000 per Hour)
The same preparation steps described above apply. After the prepration is done, do the following:
Step 1:
Replay Arc 3, Chapter 7, Map 13 from the Story Title Screen in HARD MODE. In map select you can press Triangle / Y to switch difficulty.
Step 2:
Equip 3 x “Victory Zeni Up Lv. 6” in the skill menu. You can stack three of these to increase the effect.
Step 3:
Farm the match at the top of the map against Goku, Yamcha, Piccolo. The reason being that this match gives a +300 Zeni reward when you win (and the enemies are very weak and quick to defeat).
Step 4:
Afer the match, pause the game and hit “Retry”. Now you get all your health back and can replay the match as often as you want. With loading screens it takes 3 minutes per match if you’re just spamming light attacks. If you’re actively playing you can do it in 2 minutes.
