Han: I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit.
You can do the math yourself. People have told you several times now how to go to the dil exchange and see how much dil is needed for 1 zen. You then multiply that by how much zen you need.
But this is a better answer:
Are there jobs in your country that pay cash monies? Are you old enough to work at those jobs?
Reality is, it depends on the player - Time spent in game doing things to get dilithium, if you buy Zen and sell it for dilithium (and if you do - at what price, since the market fluctuates). Because of these constantly changing factors there is no magical formula with set numbers; the math is changing from time to time.
If each character were to refine 8,000 Dil a day, you would have 152,000 Dil. After exchanging that Dil for Zen using the current rate, you would have approximately 434 Zen. Lifetime is around $300 (30000 Zen). If you earn 434 Zen a day, it would take you around 70 days to have the necessary Zen to purchase the lifetime reward.
Good luck!

He's on console, he's asked this before and had the question answered in this thread.
At this point it's just thick headed trolling. Stop asking the same question over and over again, the answer hasn't changed.
If you are old enougto opperate a computer, you are old enough to operate a lawn mower or a snow shovel...pay may vary though. But even if you'd work for pennies an hour, you'd be much faster than doing it ingame.
Number of Days Required = (25,000 Zen * Current Exchange Rate)/(8,000 Dilithium per day * Number of Characters)
or
Number of Days Required = 0.164 * Current Exchange Rate
Since PC Users don't know the Current Exchange Rate, then we can't give an accurate number. If the Exchange Rate is at 25 Dilithium per Zen, then it will take 5 days. If the Exchange Rate is at 500 Dilithium per Zen, then it will take 83 days. Of course, this is assuming that all 19 characters are getting 8,000 Dilithium per day and the Exchange Rate will be nowhere near 25 Dilithium per Zen, but it does give a maximum and minimum number of days that you have to grind for.
I'm not sure why you're not understanding the math, but lets try this.
Please respond to this and tell me how much Dilithium it currently costs to buy 1 Zen on the console. Also let me know how much Zen is needed to buy a lifetime membership and I'll just do the math for you and give you an answer.
Without this information, your question cannot be answered. I don't play on Console, so I can't log on and look it up myself.

Don't be too sure about the simple math or calculus problems or managing finances.
I'm working as a volunteer at a local food bank (basically care packages for those in debt) and it is astonishing how many people, including some who claim to be academics, are unable to do simple math/calculus or a basic balance sheet for income and expenses.
I do regret that the same lifetime membership does not roll over to my alt on the same console. I play about half of my time on my alt and those characters lose out on the perks. Not gonna pay for a second membership though!
Unless your Alt is on a different account, he/she should have access to the Lifetime Rewards. Lifetime is for the entire account, not just one character.
I have no idea how the mechanics work, but none of the lifetime stuff is on my alt. My current alt is my original 360 gamertag as I was assigned a new one (either intentionally or by my own error) when I traded up to the One? I can easily switch back and forth between the two on my console, therefore my earlier lament.
Each gamertag would be counted as a separate account, Each gamertag is able to create a certain number of characters. So if you have the LTS unlocked on your original 360 gamertag, then any character on your 360 gamertag account would have the LTS unlocked, but it wouldn't be available on your new gamertag.
Errr .... that would mean 1 zen = 12.5 Dil, pretty sure that this isn't correct - did you look in the dil exchange under the BUY ZEN tab, the amount next to the dilithium crystal graphic is how much EACH zen is selling for. The number next to the zen symbol is how much zen is available for sale at 1zen = the number next to the dil symbol.
i.e. Dil 300 Zen 24 means 24 Zen are available for 300 dil EACH - not that 24 Zen costs a total of 300 Dil.
The lowest possible exchange rate should be 25 Dil = 1 Zen (This is the lowest possible exchange rate on PC and I doubt Cryptic would allow this to be lower on consoles)
Based on the other console player estimates of around 70 days, I would say it is more likely that 1Zen will cost ~400 Dil. (This is more likely to be the case if you have limited Dil resources as Zen sellers will want to get the best possible price for each Zen they sell). Also at 2zen = 25 dil - no-one would be buying zen for cash.
Number of Characters to earn enough Dil to get the Lifetime membership?
None.
You can't get it using Dil.
You can't get it using Zen.
You can't get it in any of the in-game stores.
In order you get the Lifetime Membership SUBSCRIPTIONS:
YOU MUST GO TO THIS PAGE AND PAY ACTUAL MONEY!

It is more likely that someone is buying 2 Zen for 25 dilithium each. Buying Zen at 25 dilithium per Zen and cancelling the order is a great method of transferring dilithium to another character since no one sells at that rate and even if they did, you would get a great deal.
