There are monsters to fight, but mostly out in the Segments - they rarely incur into the city proper. The quest boards offered by the guilds often pay very well for those willing to go out and deal with them. In addition, a variety of areas just recovered from the Darkness need some exploring done.

There are also noncombat quests available, since not everyone brought here is a combatant. It is laidback for the most part, but you should rarely find yourself with nothing to do.
