Best way to upgrade companions?

I'm looking to upgrade one of my green companions to blue, and figured I'd ask for some advice from you knowledgeable forum folks before doing so.

What do you all think is the best way to go about upgrading a companion? Am I better off paying the 500k AD, or would investing that AD into treasure keys and hoping for the companion upgrade packs (which have the tokens) be a more cost effective way to get my upgrade?

I haven't opened lockboxes in a long time now, so I have no idea how common those companion helper kits are.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

    I've opened some 50 companion fortification packs and over 100 companion reinforcement packs, and never seen tokens drop. I'd suggest just paying the AD cost.

    A better question to ask, is why upgrade at all?

    If you are upgrading simply to have better pets, its often cheaper to simply purchase a better quality pet from the start.

    If you are upgrading for the active stats or powers, you might consider other options first. Enchants are fairly cheap now, and they can be passed around, pets cant.

    Ah, for some reason I thought they were a guaranteed drop from the packs. Now I see that it's only a chance to get them.
    Thanks! I'll upgrade with AD then, since everything RNG related absolutely hates my guts! (hence me steering clear of the lockboxes)

    Mostly for fun to be honest. :)

    You can always grind out the quests in Sharandar Dread Ring IWD etc. Just make sure you summon the pwt before you turn in the quest. Or buy companion exp packs off AH.

    I sell all my comp xp tomes. Getting XP's definitely not an issue. xD
    Just the upgrading.

    With Treasure keys, you can break even if you're not after something specific. In your case, abandon any hope, do not buy keys.
