Once the player has talked to various key NPCs from the Watch per Quartermain's instruction, the NPCs could give some repeatable side quests.
A simple one could be Supply missions which ask for themed groups of items, e.g.
Food - Raw foodstuffs or some mass-cooked items that can keep for a while such as Breads
Potions - An assortment of potions in large quantity
Guns and especially ammunition
Tools with magic enchantments like Oberon's or Regrowth
Combat tools with Recovery or buff enchantments
Depending on the Tier of the items, different Essence is awarded, e.g., Tier 3 items could award small amounts of T4 but Tier 2 items could award T3 instead.
This can let players do some meaningful crafting instead of constantly doing POIs or killing monsters.
