1. Covenant Armor upgrades to Item Level 197 - 7,250 anima for all 9 pieces. Some start at level 1 and 1 item starts at level 6. The sum takes into account the varying item levels on acceptance. 7,250 anima
2. Covenant Items for Purchase: Mounts, Pets, Hearthstone, Transmog (No Legendary items) - 57,750 anima
3. Total Cost to Upgrade All Armor to 197 and purchase All Covenant Vanity Items, Pets, and Mounts - 65,000 anima
Now this is for a World Content player the armor he is going to use (minus a drop from a world boss or lucky Calling reward). It is higher than LFR which would be the only raiding we might do and is fine. This is also all the mounts, pets, and transmog from our covenant so we have not much else to buy from our covenant at this point (before any 9.1 changes) Basically we are done... no more power increase....no more vanity items. Done....65,000 anima
Now on to the Anima Increase!
1. Cost to level all Venthyr covenant sanctum upgrades to Rank 3 - 64,000 anima At this point we would now be getting 3 extra anima "tokens" at 35 anima per token for an increase per World Quest of 105 extra anima. 64,000 anima to start earning our Rank 3 increase.
2. How many World Quests to Break Even before we dig our selves out of the hole we just spent? 64,000 anima/ 105 anima per quest = 610 World Quests just to recover what you spent. After you do 610 world quests at the New Rank 3 , you will start seeing yourself on the positive side of the ledger ..... having just paid off your 64,000 anima expenditure. 610 World Quests to dig yourself out of the hole.
I can spend 65,000 anima and have EVERYTHING from my covenant OR I can spend 64,000 anima, (have gear that will still have to be upgraded for another 7250) and after that spend another 65,000 anima to buy everything from my covenant. Roughly spend 129,000 anima to get it all or just spend 65,000 anima and get it all. Now try this on multiple alts.....LOL. Blizzard didn't do World Content players any favors.
