I see people always selling them for 100gp in chat or in the AH... the only place I know to get them is for real money and spending real money on globals doesn't seem very productive.. is there some other way people are getting these that I'm not aware of?

    You can earn Questionite and trade it for Zen on the Questionite Exchange.

    What's the quickest/best way to obtain it? Nemcon? Dailies? Alerts?

    Thanks!

    Quickest way to get the Zen to buy keys is by subscribing - you get 500 Z per month.

    Quickest way I know to farm Q for those of us who are sub-40 is the daily mission offered by Lt. Patil in RenCen, right next to Defender. That gives 2000 Q per day, and can be run once per character you have. (If I were determined, and didn't have children, I could get 22,000 Q per day.) Also, run the first two segments of the Lemurian Infiltration, which currently are also dailies - that gets you 1000 Q for the two of them. Finally, I understand that once you've cleared the Monster Island Crisis, you can rerun that as a daily, but I didn't enjoy it the first time through, so am unlikely to ever find out how much that daily yields.

    Gravitar drops some good amounts of Questionite.

    OR, you could just use those $15/month (or any amount for that matter) to buy Zen directly and get 1500 instead (or 500 Zen per $5 spent). Much cheaper and greater quantities than subbing if you just want the points.

    Just sayin' >.>

    My advice is to get gamecards from Amazon.

    You end up paying about $6 a month for 500 Zen AND a Gold subscription, which is awesome.
    Campaign: The Fenwick Cycle NWS-DKR9GB7KH

    Wicks and Things: NW-DI4FMZRR4 : The Fenwick merchant family has lost a caravan! Can you help?

    Beggar's Hollow: NW-DR6YG4J2L : Someone, or something, has stolen away many of the Fenwicks' children! Can you find out what happened to them?

    Into the Fen Wood: NW-DL89DRG7B : Enter the heart of the forest. Can you discover the secret of the Fen Wood?

    This. At the price of zen, essentially, it's Gold for $1/month.

    ...for as long as the cards hold out, because to the best of my knowledge there are no more being produced...

    You can also find her by using the crime computer under alerts coordinator. This way you can access her from anywhere, and you can also turn your mission in this way.

    Gravitar gives a big yield. Sometimes around 6000.

    Play on multiple characters to get more Qo.

    You need around 20,000 q for one key.
