To collect Anima you need loot rares and complete world quests.

I gain 15% after loot a rare Executioner Aatron.
More 35% after loot another rare Amalgamation of Light.
And 55% after complete the world quest Trashin' the Camp.

For those who complete the Night Fae "Replenish the Reservoir" quest and can't find Sesselie to turn in... You have to complete the Anima Conductor rank 1 upgrade before Sesselie shows up, making it a mandatory upgrade to complete the renown weeklies for Night Fae.

Quest NPC is there but the anima is not registering for quest when I deposited.

Comment by MrSkullcandy

For people who dont understand how the quest works, the Quest basically just counts all of the Anime you collect, you don't have to use them.
Just accept this as early as possible and then go and farm Anima for WQ and other stuff, it will just keep track, that's all, you wont need to give him 1k Anima.

Comment by MRain1

for those who are stuck and no anima collected counts towards the progress: i was stuck at 10/1000 did several world quests and other things that give anima, while doing those i was on the third tutorial mission of the covenant mission table, now after i finished this mission it started counting again, i finished 1 dungeon quest and got over 700/1000

Comment by Prejudice182

You can't keep anima in your bags waiting for this weekly to come around again. I had 810 anima waiting in my bags when I picked up this quest, I deposited them, and still had 0/1000 progress.

No way to cheese this quest.

Comment by HeroJez

An absolutely stupid, inflexible, and purposefully cranky quest that could and should have been implemented so much better.

You can't just deposit 1000 anima and have that be your contribution for the week--so much for play how you want, when you want, etc. You have to collect it after picking up the Q, as already stated, AND it's upon collection, instead of depositing. But WHY? Why the inflexibility. And, in typical SL style, there's a bug that means any Anima rewards that go to your mailbox first don't contribute to the Q progress. So you can actually do your quest, earn your rewards, even GET your rewards (via Postmaster), AND NOT get Q credit. And, of course, gamemasters 'can't grant quest progress, etc... zzZZzzzz'.

Not a fan of Ion Hazzikostas' WoW. Everything seems so cheap, and uncooperative, and needlessly time-wasting.

Make sure you have plenty of bag space before you go and get your anima--especially if you're out to do 250 Anima world bosses!

Comment by Undergruff

Make sure you have room in your bags when completing these quests. Anima sent to the postbox, because you bags are full, does not count toward this quest.

Comment by RelMayer

This quest is not auto-canceled upon a new game week. So if you were sorry that the anima would go nowhere, you can continue to collect anima after.

Awards 1602g 96s at renowned 40.

Comment by Llyrellenya

This quest's new reward upon hitting 40 renown is an additional 1,500 gold. I find this insultingly low. Let me explain why.

To get 1,000 anima solely via standard world quests (ignoring world bosses and elite world quests for now) would require an average of 12 anima WQs, if you aren't discriminating toward how much they reward. If you take only the ones that give 3 or 4 anima "tokens", you're looking at 8 or 9 world quests. On the other hand, taking a random sampling of the gold-rewarding world quests that are up at the time I am writing this post, the average reward is 273 gold and 82 silver. At 8 or 9 world quests, you're looking at 50-60% more gold than you'd get from doing anima world quests to complete this weekly. To add on to this, elite world quests for anima give 250 anima, which is ~2x as much as if you're picky about your anima world quests, or ~3x as much if you're not picky, vs gold quests flat-out giving 3x as much, since the gold rewards from regular world quests don't vary the way anima rewards do. That nudges gold quests a little farther ahead, on average.

Now, we obviously can't ignore the fact that you want anima regardless if you're planning to upgrade your sanctum or buy collectibles. The weekly then becomes free gold that you can get alongside collecting anima. No complaints as far as that goes. I just think the reward should be bigger. With that in mind, let's compare it to something else: callings.

A calling rewards ~1800g, if not a little less. This goes for all callings, including the ones that give a purple chest and more rep. Each week, you can get between 12k and 13k gold from doing 3 or 4 world quests per day, or 1 elite world quest per day, depending on the callings that are up. (Also some alternate options like rares or chests instead of 4 world quests when you get the percent completion bar, but I'm using world quests for comparison here.) Let's optimize this a bit for maximum gold gain across a whole week, while still completing the anima weekly:

1 world boss WQ, which does not count toward a calling if you're in a raid group, but gives 250 anima
2 weekly dungeons for 175 anima each; we'll say that one of them completes a calling, on average
3 140-anima world quests to satisfy a calling (roughly), and also to finish off your 1k for the week
5 more callings, completed with gold world quests, netting roughly 4800 gold per the average I gave above

There are some other possible variations in here, like completing elite world quests for over 800 gold, but those aren't up all the time, so I'm not going to include them. All told, this system gives you around 19k gold for the whole week, of which only 1.5k comes from the weekly. If you're doing anima world quests (or rep, or loot, etc.) instead of gold world quests to complete your other callings, or if you're killing rares/opening chests, you're probably ending up with about 14k gold for the week. At this point, 10% of your total gold for the week comes from a once-per-week quest, not counting any loot drops from enemies and the like. When you take it all together, this isn't too bad. I just still think it's too small.

YMMV, and we are, as I said earlier, getting this for free. In that sense, it's a good thing. On the other hand, I don't see why they can't give us, say, 5k gold for a weekly, when a daily calling already gives almost 2k? Wouldn't be a big change to make, and I'd be a lot happier with it if all I'm getting is gold in the first place.

Comment by alpanhell

Kind of amazing there is zero rep awarded for this quest. This would seem like to be the most important quest of them all story wise.

Comment by amalthea

I was stumped on this quest for a quite a while since it wasn't tracking mine progress. Turns out upgrading the Anima Conductor to rank 1 was needed to even count the anima sources.

Comment by Simology

For those trying to find the return quest in 9.1, use the following way points to enter the cave (in Korthia):

/way 61.13, 21.55 (Cave entrance)

Comment by Ehayen

FYI, you get credit for collecting anima, not for turning it in. So it doesn't matter which order you do it in (turning in the anima vs. turning in the quest). You can't turn in the quest and then expect the anima in your bags to count toward the next round of the quest.

Comment by AddictedPoi

At max renown the quest awards 1600g.
If you pick the quest at less than max renown, the gold reward will be much lower. But once you reach max renown, the gold reward will change. You don't have to cancel and redo the quest again for that to happen.

Comment by AldoHawk

If you reach max renown before handing out the quest it will display the original reward of a bit of gold and a renown level, but it will actually reward the amount of gold it does when you are at max renown, so if this situation happens to you just hand the quest without any worry, you will get that juicy amount of gold.

Comment by Shadowcake

Changing covenant resets the counter and removes it from your quest log, you gotta collect the anima without changing covenants.
