Recruit

Plan

Recruiting Seteth on Cai's route requires 3 support levels with him, 6 renown levels, and completing a Quest, at the earliest in Part I chapter 3.

Part I, chapter 1
Raise Seteth's own support to level 3 by giving him one liked gift per in-game week (Strategy Manuscript, Home-Recipe Book, Flexible Fishing Rod, Pastry Cookbook, Village Recipes, Sturdy Rucksack, Trader's Handbook, Common/Select/Southern/Orgus Coffee, Huge Fish Eyeball, Tales of Adventure, Herbal Recipe Guide, Sharp Fishhook, Eastern Tea Leaves, Poems of the Greats) and pairing the remaining weekly support actions with him through shared meals, arena training, temple service, theatre, thermae or combat adjacency.† unverified
Part I, chapter 1
Prioritise every available quest, above all Cai's route-specific Kindness Quests, along with divine audiences, skirmishes and any open paralogues from the start of the route to reach renown level 6.† unverified
Part I, chapter 1
Complete the required Quest for Seteth, working through Cai's route Kindness Quests and any Bulletin Board or Adventure Guide quest chain tied to him as soon as they are posted.† unverified

Research notes

Raise Seteth's own support to level 3 by giving him one liked gift per in-game week (Strategy Manuscript, Home-Recipe Book, Flexible Fishing Rod, Pastry Cookbook, Village Recipes, Sturdy Rucksack, Trader's Handbook, Common/Select/Southern/Orgus Coffee, Huge Fish Eyeball, Tales of Adventure, Herbal Recipe Guide, Sharp Fishhook, Eastern Tea Leaves, Poems of the Greats) and pairing the remaining weekly support actions with him through shared meals, arena training, temple service, theatre, thermae or combat adjacency. Why: Satisfies the 3S support component of Seteth's Cai gate. Weekly gift cap and support activities per the Gift Giving Guide and Support guide; liked-gift list from src/data/characters.json
Prioritise every available quest, above all Cai's route-specific Kindness Quests, along with divine audiences, skirmishes and any open paralogues from the start of the route to reach renown level 6. Why: Satisfies the 6R renown component of Seteth's Cai gate. Renown accrues from quests (largest single source), the route-specific quest type, main-story progress, divine audiences, skirmishes and paralogues
Complete the required Quest for Seteth, working through Cai's route Kindness Quests and any Bulletin Board or Adventure Guide quest chain tied to him as soon as they are posted. Why: Satisfies the Quest extra in Seteth's Cai gate. Route-specific quest type for Cai is Kindness Quests; the exact meaning of the 'Quest' recruitment extra is not defined in any supplied source

Missing plan details

no chapter/renown-level correspondence found for Cai's route, so the chapter at which 6R is reached cannot be stated
no support-points-per-action rate or points-per-support-level threshold found anywhere, so the support step is paced at one action per in-game week as a baseline assumption
no definition found for a recruitment extra literally labelled 'Quest' (what it is called in-game, whether it is the route's Kindness Quests, and whether it expires)

Story and profile

Who they are

Seteth likes fishing, hardworking people, his daughter and the teachings of Seiros, and he spends his time preaching, teaching and writing fables. He fights with the Linaria Dewdrops and is listed as related to both Cai and Leda.

He begins as a Commoner and is aimed at flying and spear classes: Ornius Rider, Armored Ornius Rider, Dragoon, then Bau Lord. His Strength and Dexterity growths are both 45% and Charm is 50%, a solid all-round spread. Ready for Battle gives a 50% chance of attacking first in the first combat of the enemy phase, useful for removing a threat before it swings. Diadem of Balance stops the target countering, though it triggers only 3% of the time. His weak point is Luck at 30%. He is ranked C, as Game8 has him; other lists say B. He joins in Part 1, through a gate on Cai's, Theodora's and Leda's routes.
