Hello,

I must admit I am greatly confused by this. I see lots of people I know on my LS and in parties that keep saying they have no anima, or 1 anima left. I read here about how people are running out of Anima and need more.

I play the game a fair bit (daily), do all sorts of things (quests, ifrit runs, xp parties, explore, leves), and I have never come close to running out of anima. It is rare that I ever drop below 80. I've never been lower than 50 (and that was because I choose to do a Leve->Return->Teleport cycle on DoL leaves (2 at a time) all day long.

I think maybe is it possible that people are not treating Anima with perhaps the right regard? Anima is supposed to be a precious thing. Traveling with Anima is not supposed to be taken lightly. I think twice before each teleport.

I try to optimize for Favourites and Homepoint/Returns. I travel with groups (so the anima cost can be shared). I use Airships/Chocobo when I can (if going from Ul'Dah to Limsa I take an airship not teleport).

What I really do not understand is if the OP plays only 4 times per week, that is 3 times per week that they are generating anima without using it (I believe that is 18 anima?). Over a course of a week you get 6*7 = 42 anima! That means OP is using more than 10/day (on a 4 day/week play time).

Anyways, before this turns into anything more than what it should be, I really think I should just suggest we emphasize the value of anima, treat it with respect and use it sparraingly for it is a precious resource.
