Wow… Talk about not understanding the problem. When we don’t need it anymore, we’ll have all sorts of Anima so you’ll reward us with more. As it is, it costs 35,000 anima for a transmog set. That is a lot more rewarding than upgrading a Covenant feature that is going away in 18-24 months.
It would have been a better upgrade to just increase the anima items by a flat 15 anima and include a chance of getting a 100-200 anima out of a Calling Reward Chest.

What I’m getting is that, my toon that no longer needs anima will have access to more, and the ones that need anima still get the same. So I’ve concluded this change doesn’t affect me.

I have to say, the idea of making people spend hard “won” anima on things they probably don’t care about in order to be allowed to collect more anima is, at best, pretty tone deaf.
At the very least, you could admit it is a half measure and not make the announcement sound like this is going to be the super coolest idea ever.

That’s… kinda useless.
I got plenty of Anima on my main. It’s my alts that need Anima lol

Lol.
Anytime you ever ask yourself why the blues don’t post here…just reference this thread.
Not a bad change and it makes upgrading some of the more questionable covenant systems a bit more worth while in the long run.

Sorry, but I got bored of this covenant system about a month or two ago. I’m not interested anymore. The forums are more entertaining than your game. I’d much rather play single-player games at this point. Tired of playing Russian roulette on your failed mythic dungeon end-game.

who falls for this? like seriously?
you need to upgrade every single building to get the benefit? like… why?
Just buff it. You did this with AP research back in legion… this should be no different.

Right?
Blizzard at least added something but… I feel like they’re missing the mark here… by a lot.

This doesn’t add up at all. It takes 20,000 anima just to reach rank 2 of this achievement. What if you don’t care about 1 or 2 of the sanctum upgrades? In that case, this change does nothing and in fact can actually slow you down by giving the illusion that it’s helping.
Each level 2 upgrade costs approximately the equivalent of 142 rare anima tokens. Essentially for every sanctum feature you don’t particularly care about, you’re paying in 142 tokens to get this upgrade that gives 1 additional rare token per activity. If you full clear the raid every week, do a m+, and do at least 3 rare-level WQs a day, it would still be a month before you broke even on a feature you didn’t want. This will actually extend the time it takes for people to be able to unlock cosmetics they want, under the guise that upgrading their entire sanctum is making the acquisition faster. In reality, it’s not, this achievement is not worth the cost unless you’re acquiring it naturally. This proposition gets monumentally worse looking at rank 3.
Sure, 6-7 months down the road this will be a significant boost, but the issue is that it’s a frustrating grind now. This should be based off of your highest upgrade, not having all upgraded equally.
I appreciate that something is being done, but it still takes something like 600,000 anima to get everything from a single covenant. An additional 35, 70, or even 105 per major activity is not solving this.

Thanks for this. I’d still like to see it account wide, though. It’s very hard to catch up on alts at the moment.
You could even add an additional achievement to unlock the account wide increase, such as also increasing the covenant special feature to rank 5, or having all the conductor links reinforced… I’d take anything at this point

Denying the Drought is bugged. I have unlocked all the Tier 2 upgrades, but did not get the achievement. I’m Kyrian. A guildmate has unlocked everything, and he got Choosing Your Purpose and Restoration Expert, but not Denying the Drought. He is also Kyrian. Please fix, and please QA check these in the future.
I guess its something at least.

Because unlike anima, AP in Legion was a DIRECT POWER GAIN. So being behind in it made your character permanently behind others. The anima system don’t have that same impact upon your character’s power and are mostly cosmetic or convenience.
I mean having the Winter Queen’s garden at level 3 doesn’t make me any more powerful then when I had it at level 1.
But why do I even want anima to start with?
The road may be easier, but I dont feel compelled to take the trip.
