What are you doing with your Zcoins?
Shadowspawn X
I go months without running a ZB but when I do its maybe an average of two ZB's a week for a month or so whenever it looks like easy pickings and I happen to be paying attention. I am only running these on two characters, but I must admit that despite my sporadic participation these things are adding up. I know there are people out there who do all the z activities everyday on 10 or more characters. So as the title says what are you guys doing with these zcoins?
Iuris
Heavy equipment packs and Zaishen keys (while I was working on the title for HoM).

There's only two legit things to do with zcoins:
1) Buy something that cannot be bought otherwise (pvp skins, pet unlocks)
2) Buy heavy bags for use or sale. (Elite rit tomes are close in value however)
Anything else is a waste of your hard-earned coins. Sell the heavy bags and buy whatever you want.

Only getting coins via JQ/RA, other than that i really seldom get any ZB/ZM. I used to spend them on tomes i needed, got a few keys, picks - depends what i needed. Now i'm just stacking them in the chest

I've been under the impression that selling flames of balthazar is the most cost-effective way of using them.

I got some equipment bags, and the rest I spend in Zaishen Keys.

Was buying equipment packs the 5 gold ones as the 15 gold one isn't worth the extra effort.
Now going for the Z keys

For whatever reason it's getting pretty difficult to sell Heavy Packs even 150k nowadays, zkeys are going steady at around 5k though, so I usually just convert them to keys and either sell or feed them to my alt account.
Never really gave the flames any thought but it seems like they would provide a ~2.5k advantage when selling 5 versus zkeys (purely from glancing over wiki). Will need to crunch some numbers when I get home.

PvP reward skins
Meridon
PvP armour and the occasional tome or two when I need them fast.
Flames are arguably the most profitable, as they usually sell for 2-3k each.
Edit: Golden Flames are worth that much, Normal ones are probably cheaper.

i got the heavy pack for my main and used more to get another for a farmer cause i had no other use for them. Since the i just get z keys to use don't really need the gold from them. Then HoM calc came out and I'm saving them for a black widow
(unless 7 hero teams arive 1st then i'll just get it with that)
I don't get alot of coins now anyway only do RA/JQ, the odd easy bounty and try the HA one evry now and again (been h5 for a while but to many nub pugs and same builds over and over to be bothered properly)

I use them for elite rit tomes. You can easly sell them for 12k.
cosyfiep
zcoins...already have my heavy equipment packs (even got one for my hubby)....I still load the zbounties and stuff up---easy ones like chubuk village, unwaking waters and abadon, as well as the bounties on the kurzick bosses and some of the eye bosses (for rep points).
Lanier
I get lockpicks or tomes since i go through those so fast. Maybe not the most cost-efficient use... but tbh, i dont care.
Mig Coconut
Zaishen tonics!
Tanking DoA as a Ghostly Hero is epic.
Heavy equip bags so cheap now (I can buy for 16e) that I find it's not worth accumulating the coins.

Tonics of course
_Aphotic_
Heavy Equipment Packs for myself.
An occasional tome when I need/a good friend needs.
And other than that, saving them up! (Cause I don't want Zaishen title ;D)
(for potentially an Everlasting Crate of Fireworks)

I do at least one of the bounties most days.
I got myself an equipment pack, finished unlocking all the pets, and now I'm working on my Zaishen title with the coins I get.

Dzjudz
Zaishen Keys for title.
Grav
I got myself a heavy equipment pack, then unlocked a black widow, then zkeys for the title.
With all that done though, my focus isn't on zcoins so much now but instead on WiK for oppressor weapons, so in the meantime just slowly saving for whatever.

Malganis
Much like everyone else, I buy Heavy Equipment Packs for my characters, and Spell Tomes for my other chars, or for guildmates who need them.
Essence Snow
There was a thread about the RoI on Zcoins a while back.......Flames of Balth were shown to be the most profitable to sell....but if u need a heavy pack and don't want to buy one...to each their own.
FoxBat
I looked more into this and there is basically a heirachy like so:
1) flame of balth
2) heavy packs
3) elite rit tomes
As number decreases (towards 1), value goes up, but so does difficulty of finding a buyer. You need to spend increasingly more time loitering in spamadan, or else use some out-of-game trade system. Flames were mentioned like 1 to 3 times per day in kamadan AD1 history, wheras heavy packs are more common and the rit tomes more common yet.

I picked up a black widow and a few large packs( I don't have a char with enough gear to warrant a heavy, I mule extra armor sets). Other than that I stopped doin zm stuff a while ago except for a few dungeons for fun.

Right now they all go to fireworks. It's a sloooow road.
mrmango
Getting one heavy pack, then I'll decide for more.
rokocoko
First, I got heavy packs on all my chars. But at the moment, just hoarding them
KPEATOP
15 slots bag for my characters on the main account
flames of balthazar for the smurf to unlock things faster

Got a heavy bag a few months after release and sold it. Not doing much with them now (or getting many coins at all for that matter), just saving for the 5gold/15 slot bag i guess.
Black Metal
heavy bags for all my toons. Since Anet keeps introducing new things you should probably hang on to, the pressure for more storage is always there.
I'm wondering what to do with all these Keiran's bows. Something tells me I shouldn't trash them.

Large EQ bags...working on my 4th now. I don't do the zaishen bounties often...spiked it with Urgoz and have a few more to finish though. Last big spike was before they got rid of hero battles...lol that was a fun day.
mage767
I put them in the Zaishen Bank to earn some interest in GW even in these boring days...
thelessa
Equipment packs, elite tomes and z-keys.
Darcy
I'm still working on getting all 10 characters a heavy bag. I think I am on my last one.
distilledwill
Zaishen keys when I get them, although I've kinda stopped doing the missions now - I've got Leg Guardian and I've lost the drive to do it.
Scary
I allways exchange them for the Zaishen tonics.
It is fun that u can use those in explorable area's so thats enough for me.

Equipmant packs, not the largest ones they r not worth it imo. Sometimes a elite tome for my beginning char or friends char.
