Converting Energy Credits to Zen

Is there a way to do this in bulk? I know about ec -> contraband -> dilithium -> zen, but there are limits to turning in contraband and refining dilithium.

    No...

    The two currencies are strictly separated.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    It's easy to go from zen to ec, but there is no easy way to go in reverse.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    Not true actually. Buy Contraband, convert that to dil and use the dil to buy Zen.

    It would take you about 5 months to process that much raw D.

    so you would able to get it right around the launch of the next season/expansion.
    Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
    What's my position?
    That people should know what they're screaming about!

    I send three purple diplomats on a simple gift exchange and they blow it...
    I send three white bartenders on a three day wilderness training exercise and they crit it...

    lol ... I know the feeling. 5% disaster chance, nothing bad happens. 1% disaster chance, mission fails. Not always, but sometimes it feels that way.

    The only way you can pull something like that off is with LOTS of characters to get around the turn-in limit and the conversion limit.

    Is 31 enough? (or did I have 32...)

    I can add more characters if it isn't. ;)

    Doing pretty well with 16.:)

    BUT remember that not everyone is in a situation that is as...comfy as we are.
    So assume someone has only 3 chars available at the beginning.
    So the first couple of rounds the zen conversion will go very slowly and the zen will be used to buy new character slots. So now it goes faster for the next round until it finally goes at a pace the OP will find tolerable.

    Can't forget the EC cap increase.

    I had assumed you meant any newb fresh out of the tutorial - they would not have the EC cap increase.
