Paying for VIP with Zen Question

Hi All,
I'm currently level 32 and I'd like to get the VIP access. However I don't want to have to pay for it with cash. I know you can convert Astral Diamonds to Zen and pay for it that way. Should I just focus on getting my char to 60 before thinking about farming for Diamonds or is there a way I could do this now?

Thanks!

    Run (2) Dungeons, (2) Skirmish, and if you like (2) PvP a day, if you have alts do the same. Good way to make some AD the first two you get are bonus AD. Other then that I would continue on leveling to 60.

    The VIP is well worth the 10 dollars a month in my eyes, but you can make it in the exchange np I did last this months with ease. Good luck.

    You can buy 1 month vip with 850 zen with a 15 % off coupon if it drops. That is about 120k AD when prices are at 140 each. I would recommend getting 70 first as it is easier to gain Astral diamonds than at lower level. Sell everything you don't need while you gain levels. Probably have enough by than. Also at 70 skirmish blue ring drops salvage for ad too.

    FYI for the OP.
    Wait until late next week to buy zen with ad.
    Last night, the exchange was 139, at the time of maintenance today it was 160.
    Last double ad it went up into the 180s.
    Diamomds are far easier to come by this weekend, driving their value down.

    If you're set on ad for VIP, wait a week or two for the ad to come back down to <160.

    I just bought 3 months of vip the other day using AD bought Zen and the 15% coupon. I usually save up my AD for the day and then buy as much zen as I can each night before I log off (usually about 100 Zen or so). Then I save up the zen until I get a good coupon for something I really want. Yesterday I bought a coalescent ward for 800 zen that I got using AD.

    I do spend real $$ on the game too though - bought the Lord of the North pack, Onyx Pack and 1 month of Zen with real $$. considering the Dragonborn pack as well because I do believe in supporting something you enjoy.

    I did the same, even the dragonborn and the heirloon for mercenary. Since im a mmo veteran, I know i will be playing this for a long time. No regrets

    Since you are still low level I recommend at least buying 5.00 worth of ZEN with cash to get the first time buyers pack. An extra 12 slot bag and a bunch of other random items including a respect token will be worth it for you. At our house we have three players so we paid cash for our first months VIP then farming astral diamonds to maintain VIP status. All future cash purchases will be to buy specific items such as mounts and such.
