An opulent town dominated by greenery and fine folk, Wellgrove is yet another rich community with a dark underbelly. Several chapters will bring you to Wellgrove, and all of them expose the seedy side of doing business in this otherwise pleasant town. Despite the pessimistic attitudes of Wellgrove's merchants - it appears this place is declining rapidly - there's plenty of use to be found here, so... shall we look around?
Wellgrove is located in the central Grasslands. Though you may come across it by heading north from Hinoeuma, you're more likely to head this direction from the east, where several characters begin their stories. Agnea in particular begins close to Wellgrove.
Services
Wellgrove is one of the more convenient towns for gearing up, as its Provisioner, Armorer, Inn, and Tavern run in a straight line west from the entrance in the east. The stock in the stores is decent, but not amazing. Once you've completed Partitio's third chapter a Department Store will open in Wellgrove, and in addition to all of the usual services it will include a Record Shop and a Medicinal Herb Shop, both on the second floor. If you like to use Castti then the Medicinal Herb Shop will be a godsend.
Wellgrove is also home to the Dancers Guild. The guild is in the house on the right as you head north towards Alrond's Estate, in the northwest of Wellgrove. Speak to the Dancers Guild Master and she'll give you a Dancer License, as well as the opportunity to earn more by mastering Divine Skills.
Exits
- East of Wellgrove is the Eastern Wellgrove Trail, which leads back to the rest of the Grasslands. You'll have to walk through this area to reach Wellgrove.
- In the south is the Path to Mother's Garden. This leads to a dungeon that is part of Throné's third chapter.
- In the west is an exit to the Secret Forest. You'll need to head this direction during the third chapter of Hikari's story.
Treasures
- There's a chest sitting in the front yard of the Dancers Guild. It contains a Soldier's Bow.
- Head to Alrond's Estate, the area in the far north of Wellgrove. Check to the right of the bridge onto the grounds and you'll find a chest containing an Empowering Lychee (L). Run up to the front steps and look to your left to find another chest, this one containing a Nimble Mantle.

Misha is carrying a Silk Handkerchief, an Inspiriting Plum (M), and an Inspiriting Plum Basket, while Alrond is carrying Alrond's Promissory Note. It's not worth quite as much as the one you received during Partitio's chapter, though 100,000 leaves is nothing to sneeze at.
