To change your Anima covenant, you can simply visit the covenant emissary in Oribos and confirm that you want to switch covenants, but keep in mind that you will lose all Covenant specific benefits of the Covenant you are leaving, including Renown, covenant abilities, appearances, soulbinds, mounts, titles, and sanctum upgrades. You can use a Traveler’s Anima Cache to transfer your Reservoir Anima from one Covenant to another, which can be purchased from Au’Dara by the Flight Path in Oribos for 250 Reservoir Anima.
