The Starpath task should be "Craft cloth." but is mistakenly translated in Japanese as "服を作成する"(lit. Craft clothes.) I was quite confused what I was supposed to do and had to look it up in English lol

Cloth in Japanese is correctly translated in the game as 布生地. "布生地を作成する" would be a correct translation of the task.

Moved his house to every DLC.
Tried going in and out of his house in every DLC.
Summoned him to every floating island.

Issue: tokens keep disappearing.

EDIT: Not only is the game tracking the quests and accepting the tokens, but it's purchasing the rewards as well!! This is really amazing and I'm glad I looked into it further

I have lost roughly 100 tokens. This has been happening over the last few days. In the past hour I completed 3 quests and had 40 tokens. I went back to play and when I went to collect the next quest I had 10 tokens. I haven't purchased anything. I'm hoping by turning off auto tracking it will stop this from happening. I'm just worried I won't have enough tokens to get everything. I also lost all of the tokens from routine duties this week. I've completed 32 quests and I should be a lot further in my rewards

Was it intentional that after opening bonus rewards they're auto collected so players can't choose what they want unless they notice and turn off the default auto collect? I was NOT happy at all to grind through 130 tokens worth of tasks trying to get the skirt only to have to do 65 more because I am low vision and couldn't see that button clearly enough to know I was being bamboozled.
