Buy them with fleet currency and treat the challenge like a bonus.
Farm characters and ships first. TW will give you some and challenges as well, some mythics can too as well as some achievments.
Then, when you have fully 7* chars, farm from ships.
Strategy? It's mostly about being lucky with the challenges and winning in fleet arena. There are weeks with no zeta mat dropping from dailies but from own experience I'd say the average is sligthly above 2/week. If you manage to rank 1st during your fleet arena payout consistently (and don't buy anything else from fleet store) you can get a zeta mat almost every day. Add another 1-2 from login rewards and you end up somewhere around 35-40 per month without Territory War bonus. Those could add up to another 12 zeta mats per month if you are in a very high GP guild that wins all the time, yet, that is not a realistic scenario for most players. Two weeks for a zeta as Grimstoned posted is realistic for someone that ranks high in fleet arena.
Getting very quick for me now. After getting talzin and wicket to 7* famrkng them every day and tw paying out either 2or 3per TW. I'd agree with above around 2weeks.
I'm about to get 20 today actually do I'll track exactly how long it takes me after this
Approximately 4 zeta materials a week on average from challenges.
Approximately 1 zeta material a week on average from login rewards.
Potentially 3 zeta materials a week from TW.
Potentially 6 zeta materials a week bought with your gained fleet currency.
Potentially 14 materials a week. Approximately 2 full zetas every 3 weeks.
I farmed my Rebel ships and key characters early. I think this is ESSENTIAL
Which means I can now spend my fleet currency on zetas....annoyingly I’m stuck around 35th in Fleet Arena. But I suppose it’s only 100 more/day if I finished 9th....
Other than another 20 Bistan ship shards and Sun Fac shards I’m pretty much all in now!
Our guild is about 1 million power short of zeta rewards in TWs and I still reckon i’ll Get a Zeta every 2.5 weeks.
I assigned my last zeta on August 8th, and I've gained 11 mats since then (probably 12, after fleet payout this evening). So yeah, about two weeks. I'm regularly buying from fleet store though, as I've maxed most of the ships/toons from there.
I think best way is buy zeta from ship shop. If you have maxed your mained fleet, so better farm Zetas. For example I dont need gauntlet, or rex arc, so I don't farm. So every day couse I finish in1 place I can buy 1 zeta. Maybe I dont do that but need soap aerated 2 heroes. From challenge zeta is like as... 1time I even from 3 weeks dont get even 1 zeta

Some of you are saying your getting zeta mats from login rewards? Isnt that only once a month? Or are you referring to daily activities? I only get omegas from daily activities, I'm level 83. Does level make a difference.
Because I’m not at the top of my fleet shard I can only get 1 zeta every two days from the fleet store. My guild is 50M so if we win TW I get a zeta, if we lose I don’t get any. I usually pull 1 zeta from the ship challenge. So it takes me about 3 weeks for each zeta.
Zetas from login rewards are only once or twice a month. They don’t come from daily activities. If you have a seven star Talzin or Wicket, then when their events come you can fight the second tier. Second tier gives 2-4 zetas (usually just 2).
If on strong guild that wins TW always and always finish first Fleet...
3 from TW every 14 days
13 from Fleet arena every 14 days.
4 from challenges every 14 days.
20 =1 zeta
Drop rate from challenges has previously been proven to be 2/3, hence 4 materials every week on average.
There are 2 TWs every fortnight, not just one.
You forgot daily login rewards.

2 zeta mats at the end of the month for daily login.

i probably get 2 full zetas a month or so. I finish in top 20 in fleet and only occasionally farm anything but zetas from the ship store. I don't have talizen or wicket at 7 stars yet but will soon so that will help.
Just do all the challenges with possible zeta rewards. Other than that no real strategy other than deciding if you want to spend your fleet currency on zetas or other things.
What significance does having Talzin or wicket bring to getting zetas?
None that i can think of.
You need them both at 7* to unlock the Bonusstage of their heroic event (Defense of Danthomir and Endor Escalation). There you get 2-4 Zetas every time you beat it.

They're variables within your control though. Like anything, you can make assumptions based off a possible outcome.
I'm at 27 assigned zetas, started farming when they were introduced. I just started buying things other than zeta mats with ship currency. (I did finish off Maul and Vader right at the beginning) My ships were waaay behind the curve for a long time because I couldn't do the challenge for quite a while, but the store is guaranteed and drop rates are not
@GA_Phoenix: thanks that clears it up.
I know they are designed to be hard to come by, but all this info helps to make farming the most efficient, thanks

This. Buy nothing else with Fleet Currency except Zetas.
And do every activity you can that might get you them.
It takes as long as it takes...there's a reason they are hard to come by.
