There are many ways to earn anima in the game which folks have listed. Unfortunately all of them reward relatively small amounts of anima. So no matter how you slice it, getting your sanctum fully upgraded is going to take significant amounts of time. Not to mention all the rewards available for purchase, too. My only advice is to treat the anima grind as a marathon rather than a sprint. I probably earn between 200-500 anima a day on this character and my druid alt also. I know that’s slow but I would rather go slow than burn out.
Blizzard has already starting making adjustments to increase anima flow - small ones to be sure but there nevertheless. I suspect that as the expansion ages the anima flow will increase.
not liking WQ is gonna be an issue… but you can always do M+ or all of the raid bosses each week, although you’re still limiting yourself.
The anima drip is so low, that I don’t even bother. Anima costs for basic stuff is far too expensive. Theybdesigned this game for peeps that play full time, like 8 hours per day. Thats a bad design philosophy. Just let those with unlimited time run out of content and unsub. That way 99% of the player base from Wrath could actually enjoy the game again, but these grinds cause normal players to leave. Now 99% leave due to grinds like pathfinder, rather than the 1% that have unlimited time. Why cater to the 1%?
Yeah, it is super discouraging. Especially since like all MOG covenant items are not only stupid amounts of anima for the complete set, but also another resource. I’m not looking for anything free, but the basic math of time and reward is so bad and a reason why so many people leave this game.

Nathria bosses give over 100 anima each, even on LFR… that will help too.
Yeah, I run 10/10H once a week. I assume you only get anima once per week per boss, no?
You can. Just type in words like you did here. I believe in you.

I can, I am not sure if LFR is included but I did like normal shriek, sludge, generals and sire then went on to clear heroic, never got anima for the ones I downed in normal and downed again on heroic
Can you elaborate? What are these?
The ones from the brokers in Oribos, award a choice of rep and anima
Yep. It was a long grind. I don’t think I can do it again for my alts. Once is enough.
One technical correction to my post. With the anima increase which is about double to what it was, the grind won’t be too bad. I’m guessing 2 months tops. However, you will be gated by the max 20 redeemed souls each week so it will still take 3 months to fully upgrade the sanctum.
Do world quest tours with a friend. More fun that way.
I have all the covenant upgrades done on my DH. Didn’t even feel like a chore because i did it with my buddy. Now we’re more slowly working on getting anima for cosmetic items for our alts.
