How about a choice? 35 Valor or 140 anima. Or both! Personally, I have zero use for Valor and think a choice or both would be nice.
We’ve got a castle full of the stuff. Even if it was just Revendreth callings giving out anima, that’d be fine.
Edit: for those that seem to think Callings are asking us to get anima, they DON’T. Callings ask us to help out and do chores or train people. No Calling asks us to gather anima.
People against getting anima is bizarre to me.
We are gathering Anima FOR the covenants, as a reward we get the Callings chests. Wouldnt make sense to get Anima back for gathering Anima.
If blizz cared about what “makes sense” we wouldn’t see most of the things we keep seeing.
The callings aren’t asking me to gather anima. No calling asks this of me. They ask me to aid them or train them. They don’t ask me to gather anima for them.
Again… Revendreth is sitting on a stockpile of the stuff. They can stop hoarding it now.
Why not offer choices? I gave up on anima with this character and would just as soon get gold.
Callings already give us gold.
I want more (to buy game time)
I would like to get 1 % royalty for all the anima earned ,it is my Ventyr Birthright thanks
The “Collect 1000 anima” isn’t a calling?
That’s a weekly renown quest, not a Calling.
I suppose the “Go do 3 WQ in ____!” dosenʻt technically say to collect anima but anima wQ are the first on my list
Give us a NPC called Fateweaver Steve. Steve’s soul purpose (because Shadowlands) is to direct the forces of the purpose to award us with a secondary currency of our choosing, Anima, Valor or even PVP gubbins if that is your fancy.
I gave us a lore justification and some “meaningful choice” you may hire me when ready.
Gold is the easiest it’s ever been to make money in this expansion. If you just want gold for game time, if you have 4 60s, that’s 6k gold a day (roughly). If you wait for three days, and then do 3 callings all at once on 4 characters, that’s about 18k gold a day. 18 x 10 (30 days in a month) means in 10 sessions of play just doing your callings (figure 30 minutes per character), you’d make 180k gold roughly, not to mention vendor trash and other things from running around + whatever other content you do.
LOL… that was brilliant. 
The covenants are desperate for us to bring them anima, it makes zero sense for them to give us any. I think the anima reward for grabbing souls is a mistake, for the same reason. If Blizzard wants to add more anima to the game, fine, but it shouldn’t be the covenants giving it to us.
I hammered 70 souls into the side of the seat of the primus to build a patio. They can be ground into anima bits.
I can see you didn’t read what I wrote.
I love how people will say “lore is trash,” “lore doesn’t matter,” but the moment someone asks for a currency flow to be fixed, all of a sudden it’s “MUH LORE.”
I think adding anima rewards to Maw activities would be a great addition, since that’s where all the stolen anima has been going. And it would drive people to do the Maw more, which would be a good thing, the Maw is great content that is sorely underdone by many people, it seems.
It makes no sense to get Valor either, but we still get it.
I don’t run keys but I do callings.
I’d be fine with that, too.
