With the next patch, you can earn more Anima in WoW. A hefty 500 Anima is available per week more – at least if you’ve been diligent.
Anima is an ever-present topic in World of Warcraft. Many players find collecting it not fast enough, and some are frustrated with the small amounts. This is somewhat understandable, as all rewards cost over 200,000 Anima in total – a massive effort. However, the Anima system is supposed to offer incentives and rewards throughout the entire duration of Shadowlands.
With Patch 9.0.5, there is a relief. Those who have played diligently will then receive an additional 500 Anima per week.
What will change? If you reach the limit for souls in your covenant in Patch 9.0.5 (currently 100), the weekly quests where you have to save souls will grant Anima as compensation. You will no longer waste souls but receive 500 Anima credited every time. For a maximum effort of 15 to 20 minutes, that’s a pretty good value, even if it’s only once a week.
What does that mean? In plain language, it means that most veterans who have fully upgraded their covenant sanctum can grab an additional 500 Anima each week with just one quest. This is particularly helpful for completing the “Collect 1,000 Anima” mission, which grants a new glory level along with collecting souls. Thus, both missions complement each other and ensure that this mandatory part can be completed quickly.
At first glance, 500 Anima per week doesn’t seem like much, but it can pay off in the long run. Because with Anima, small things still add up.
Players want more Anima: Although some players are glad about the new Anima source, many feel that it is too little. Some have long lost interest in farming and are waiting for Blizzard to significantly increase the amount of Anima in a later patch. At least that is the hope of these players, as Blizzard has not announced anything of the sort yet. The alteration of the soul quest is, however, a first, small indicator that more ways to make Anima accessible to players are being considered.
What do you think of the change? A good and sensible adjustment? Or is it just not enough to complete the quest?
