Method to earn anima??

We know that, without CHocobo or other..anima are the only way to travel fast trought Eorzea...

But only way to recover anima is time.

1)What about implementation of quest or other way to recover?

2)Or a npc that sell aima (50 k every anima?? if SE don't want that all people have every time 100 anima)

3)Possibility to buy 6 anima every anima reset (or leve reset) for 200k..(for example)

What do you think guy?

Would be the best Gil Sink in game.

Looks like a good idea :)

OMG an actual good idea that sinks gil from this horribly inflated economy.

I think it should be a rewards from Leves sometimes, same with GA to. You could look at your leve as say wow this one has 20 Amina as a reward I think I will pick that or this one has 20 GA, I'll get me some of that too ^^

How about quests that you can buy for gil which offer GA or anima? :P
Like a siege where you can pay from 10k-100k to get some merc support with a big anima crystal at the end that you can just take or sacrifice to the gods :D

I like the idea. A few good ideas on the same topic came out in that thread, for example, teleport stones associated to animas that could need to be gathered from the field or crafted, or buy them from NPC for the gil sink

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...eplenish+anima

And SE can link other thing on this idea..

For example

Quest that replenish anima

1)You must buy it (gil sink effect)
2)"Anima Quest" located only in your starting city (little repopulation of Limsa and Grid)

Long-distance craft-leve reward maybe? (or atleast some points)

not craft.....SE can't link anima to crafting. It's unfair to non crafters

I thought about if you get 1 anima per so many steps, say like somewhere between 50-200 steps for 1 anima

I am all for this, I hate being stuck in places becuase I don't wish to run so far. but I blame myself for not being froogle enough.

I like the idea, however i like the idea of abolishing anima all together more :/

I want more Chocobos and adventuring!

Other forms of transit will reduce the dependancy on anima.

I can go both ways with this, but I rather prefer anima being something more valuable in the sense that once you use it you have to wait so many hours to replenish it. To be frank, I think people are being lazy and instead of asking for more of it, they should use it more wisely. It's already too easy to get to anywhere in this game.

If that was true (that its SO EASY to get anywhere in this game) then the devs would not be working on better methods for transportation/travel. The objective of this game is not; well I hope its not, to be spending the majority of your time running from point A to B. Running is part of the game but it should not be the main activity in the game.

I think characters who run out of anima and refuse to walk anywhere should start to get fat.

That you need to learn to take 5 minutes and run instead of using anima. If you can't balance anima per day you need to learn to manage it or pay someone like me with over 80anima 50k per teleport.

it's non manage problem..

I always run to near camp..but when run take over 15-30 min is only a waste of time...

And often...id you shout or ask for teleport (50k) nobody answer..

There aren't only teleportation that cost 2 anima..with only 3 favored destination.

non crafters?...thats a lame excuse.

What i meant was, rewarding a few points of anima to the craftleves that
requires you to run to Broken Water / Bluefog etc just to turn in a craftleve.
It's not like there's 10 of them for each city is it.

Same could go with "Gathering" leves, wich are also long distance.

then again, meh, idc really im still hoping for a "Teleport" class even if it means waiting a long time.
Or...plain old chocobos.

Make anima/GF a common reward from Horn and Hand faction leves.

There are two ideas that I like. First, allow players to purchase anima like this...

First anima purchase: 5k. Every additional purchase effectively doubles the cost. Second - 10k, Third - 20k, Fourth - 40k, Fifth - 80k, etc. The NPC can give some technical mumbo jumbo that forcing anima in the body gets progressively more difficult, hence the rising cost.

Here's the catch: 36 hours after the last purchase, the anima price drops back down to 5k.


Or, I like the idea of earning anima through a quest reward. If I was a cruel person, I'd say the quest involves delivering a sensitive package from one city to the other. Teleporting would only destroy its contents so you have to hoof it. Then I'd have aggressive mobs around your level spawn along the path, forcing you to either run around or fight your way through.

Yes but there are some people who dnt want to spend there whole time playing running for 20 minutes at a time. and when you try to pay someone for a teleport noone answers,

Who wants to spend there whole time running. People like me who have lives and families cant spend all day running everywhere. So when i need to do my leves quickly i use anima and anima is not cheap. its not like it only cost 2 anima to port places it can cost up to 6 anima. WTF

That is a good idea mabey make the horn and hand factions offer a reward of anima. I would actually do the horn and hand quests then.

The idea of paying for Anima sounds nice. And it could actually work. Or perhaps the quest idea, as long as the actually quest requires some time or skill to complete.

But! Any way of recovering Anima (apart from the waiting..) should be disabled once other methods of transportation become available. I think Anima should be used only in emergencies or when time is low, and of course airships, mounts, walking, etc.. the main method. So, with those implemeted people should not have any issues with Anima managment.

Anima (an·i·ma)
1. The inner self of an individual; the soul.
2. In Jungian psychology:
a. The unconscious or true inner self of an individual, as opposed to the persona, or outer aspect of the personality.
b. The feminine inner personality, as present in the unconscious of the male. It is in contrast to the animus, which represents masculine characteristics.

Anima is not an item like a teleportation scroll. It's like a natural magic/spell inside you. We should be making ideas that doesn't make it like an item. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea but, just saying. (not to mention that the idea is making this game more easymode)

How about anima is rewarded to you for doing good in the name of your God or Goddess? Maybe it involves a quest or a certain task, maybe it just requires a donation of items to appease them.

Something like that yeah? Kinda fit the fantasy theme of the game.

I don't know about the OP's intentions, but from my point of view, having to pay or quest for anima does not mean having more anima. It's more about having to achieve something in order to have the privilege to teleport, and add some content around a useful mean of transport rather than just handing it over.

For example in XI you could trade conquest points (need to kill enemies with Signet on to earn them) for a scroll of instant warp, or pay tablets (earned by completing FOV pages) to return to your Hometown. I would not like the same way of earning them but I like the idea of having to achieve something that allows you to teleport when you really need it or are short in time and your party is waiting for you.
