The Zen equivalent of 1 Gold

I was just wondering how much Zen is 1 Gold? And I'm not talking about in-game money which is often mistakenly termed as "Gold," but is truly termed as "Coin" (check your inventory, NPC shops, experience rewards, etc.), I mean Gold which you spend in the Boutique (Cash Shop).

Any information relating to this particular question would be greatly appreciated! ^_^

    $1 = 100 Zen = 1 Gold = 100 Silver = 100-110k in-game coin.

    Honestly, zen seems like a pointless conversion since you can't buy it in amounts that are smaller than one gold.

    i expect it's to help make clear that transactions from the Wallet to individual servers are one-way.

    Zen is the currency purchased through the charge zen option. It can be converted to Gold and Silver by transferring it to a server. Gold and Silver is the currency used to buy Cash Shop Items in Perfect World International.

    The alternative way you can do it is going through the Auction House and buying from there (this guide: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=236351) OR...

    There are always people out there WCing that they are selling gold at so and so price per gold...so I think the way that works is that you tell them what you want, they buy the item with their gold, then they trade you the item and you pay them with in-game coin.

    There are loads of ways to buy Gold:

    PayPal,
    Google Checkout,
    ClickandBuy,
    PayByCash,
    Ukash,
    Rixty,
    paysafecard

    And then also the Prepaid Card. Not all of these require you to reside in the US or to have a Credit Card.

    How far down is "down here" where you're from.

    I have never heard of a place that you could not set up a paypal account.

    Somone must have a method you can use. Can you generalize your location so more people can help you out.

    Western Union sure is not gonna have what yuo are looking for.

    A couple of points....Just to make sure you know you are on Sanctuary server so you are not forced to take part in PVP. You can stay blue named all the time.

    About the mount.....I am not sure what kind of mount you want but there are many techniques to make in-game coin to buy a mount from other players who might be selling some.

    I easily made 1mil in coins and buoght a Windsprint Panther and still had over 100K left over.

    I know some Kirinn and Raptors cost more so I am not sure what type of mount you are looking for.

    The reason some of the stuff is priced so high is because the game is free. The zen is really the only way to make money off of the game.
    I used to wonder why I would have these scary dreams every month. About the wolf, who kept running through town. And as I wondered, I also thought about how I couldn't remember having those dreams before being bitten by this very big dog...



    But now I know the truth.
    And I am not afraid.
