Confused about zen points...
I'm sorry if this seems repetitive. I know a lot of people have asked this. I understand that a subscription is 15 a month... you get freeform and extra stuff etc... But if I subscribed for 1 month, paid $15 and made a freeform character, then unsubscribed, could I keep the character the way it is? As in would I still get to use my freeform slot? I'm a bit confused as to what the best deal would be. I just want 1 freeform slot. Also, where is the in-game store you buy stuff from anyway? The website mentions zen and the in-game store but then never states where the store actually is. Then on an article on the website it says "The c-store has been closed. But feel free to buy from the c-store." lol i'm not trying to complain up a storm it's just a little confusing to me since I haven't played since launch.

No. Once you unsubscribe your gold character becomes locked until you subscribe again. if you buy a Freeform slot, it will be added to your account as a new and empty slot.

The Z store is located on your minimap via the icon button.

One freeform slot will cost you $50 don't do it.
Sub for a month, you get 8 slots, a free costume, access to most of the costumes, or maybe twice as many costumes as free players get, 500 free zen and another slot for every level 40 you reach while subscribed.
When your sub ends you can 'retrain' each free form once for free to one of the free archtypes.

You can retrain your free archtype to freeform for free one when you subscribe as well.
So try the free stuff and see if the content is enough to keep you around before you throw away five games from Steam worth of money on one option in a free to play game.

You can survive as a "Silver" player you just have to focus on farming questionite and you wait for major sales.

Because lets face it $10 to $20 in this game won't get you much in this game.

How do you farm questionite, and can you buy a freeform slot with it?

there are daily missions and daily alert misions that will get u Questionite, and then u can take that Q and there is an exchange market where u can turn Q into Zen.

You can...but it'll take you a hellova lot of questionite to get the amount needed for one freeform character best bet is to focus on getting to level 40.

  • 8,000 questionite a day
  • 56,000 questionite a week
  • 1,680,000 questionite a month

The total amount needed is 1,400,000 questionite which equals 5,000 zen.

When you unsub, the character is locked or you can convert to a Silver Archtype and have to respec your powers to fit that AT. But you won't be able to play it freeform.
280q per zen? Have you checked the prices?
Heck and I though 2 years ago that 190q per zen was too much. People are getting way to greedy with this inflation.

Assumption of the day.

There are sales on freeform slots from time to time, plus buying keys really helps get zen too since most boxes have questionite crates in them that drop between 30,000 and 50,000 refined questionite (ready to spend) for super cheap even on the AH.

Any way to stay updated on sales?

Is there any other way geting the zen coins besides buying them with the Q`s?

Zen exchange rate has been hovering around 380Q all this month, actually. Which is definitely absurd.

So the price of a free form went up about 500,000Q, it'd take you a little longer then a month and four weeks get it one.
