My play time is probably more than average and I feel like I am getting nowhere with Anima. Or very slowly getting more but seems it should be at a much higher pace.
Right now my 4 Covenant Sanctum features are at lvl 1. I have 8k banked so I want to build to 20k so I can get them upgraded to lvl 2 Night Fae.
Any advice? I really don’t like WQ’s other than the 250 Anima ones and probably only do a few minors a day and only in Ardenweld. Is that where I am really missing the big gains?
I guess my question is:
What is the best time/reward that I can do daily or weekly?
Thanks in advance.
(PS-I really was tempted to do an “I hate this system” thread but decided to keep in educational and positive)
Yep, higher keys, more anima. I think I’ve been getting 5 or so 35 anima items from each, 10+ (covenant stuff at level 2). Or a couple thousand from a full CN normal run.
If you’re into PvP, each RBG win is 250. Or the quests connected to dungeons/PvP from Oribos add up too. Or just non rated, the daily rewards listed
Upgrade your anima conductor, make sure you’re doing the dailies these open up — they often reward anima along with rep and grateful offerings. Usually quick quests too.
Do all the WQs in 4 zones (20 per day) including covenant dailies (6 more for night fae), callings, and anima conductor quests. You will get close to 4000 anima per day with the new increase to anima rewards. This will take all your available time though so be warned and leave you no time for pvp and dungeon. It will still take you three months of dedicated grinding to upgrade sanctum. I only just finished it this week.
Really, they all have benefits. Upgrade as you get them, although I would save the mission table for last, because the level 2 benefit is kinda negligible.
I only do World Boss, world quests with 250 anima, and the weekly dungeons which reward 250.
If you’re gonna do WQs only do ones that reward appropriately and from known quests that don’t take forever. The multi stage quests that only award 35 are not worth
If night fae, also get your transport network up ASAP if after anima, Marasmius offers quick daily quests, a common reward being a small stack of 35 anima items for things like going on patrol with him and killing mobs with his abilities, gathering items from a location usually not far from a transport node or, if you are rank 2 or higher, going into the “unknown” and dealing with what you find there.
Yeah, I have like 9 toons or so with various progression, but the ones with the least are the ones still just getting started, and I just got his rank one Ember Court built, this one is working on his 3rd level 3 upgrade.
What I do is the following:
Anima conductor bonuses
WQs with a focus on highest anima rewards for callings
Raiding
if I can pull it off, dungeon weeklies
Marasmius dailies on druid if anima is the reward
One thing to keep in mind, it might be 35 anima per item, but once you start getting 3+ for the quest, it can add up fast. Once you get the upgrade achievements, the lowest anima reward is 2 anima items, then 3 once you get the level 2s done, and thel 4 once you have the level 3 achievement.
Lfr denatrius (175?)
Both weekly pvp quests (250 each)
World boss (250)
Weekly quest from the npc next to the vault if its pvp/skirmishes (250?)
Renown 40 souls (500)
Daily bg/arena wins (~300 per day?)
Thats all i do, its bearable because its activities i’d be doing anyway. I’ve never gone out to do dungeons or wquests
Yes.
I make 1-3 rounds a day depending on what’s up. This week alone I’ve farmed about 15k JUST off WQs and a raid clear. I have rank 2 anima-farmy-buff thing.
Are you using the missions table? There are several missions available everyday that reward anima. It’s not a lot, but it adds up. And if you have the companion app, you can keep missions going throughout the day while you are logged out of the game.
