Each of the four capital City Welcomers offers a set of eight missions for newcomers to the continent from Silan, in addition to the essential mission “Arrival at the Capital”. They allow inexperienced homins to become familiar with the environment of the sub-continent and to raise their skills around the fifth circle[1].
Each mission group consists of: 3 hunting missions, 2 crafting missions and 3 harvesting missions. In addition to minor rewards, they each provide a generic two-handed melee weapon plan[2] (Fairhaven: long sword, Pyr: two handed axe, Yrkanis: pike, and Zora: sledgehammer).
They can usefully be followed by Four Sages Quests which will accompany the character to the 10th circle[3] in combat and are well rewarded.
