I think I found an issue: in a life that automatically starts in the Imperial City and the guild source asks for an acquired relic so that the only option is to give a field report, there seems to be no way to get out of the city again to get to the wilderness. The link at the bottom says "Return Outward" but it's grayed out and unavailable, presumably since I didn't choose a Paragon town on the way in. The field report is recorded but there's no option to still go to that associated wilderness region. Since I'm done with city research and all, my only option seems to be to reincarnate immediately to try again, but as I get more relics, this is going to keep happening. I really like the Imperial City start for checking the guild and then immediately going out to the wilderness, except in this case it doesn't work. I wonder if the automatic Imperial City start could use one of the elements of that life's selected Beast form as a default element for the Paragon town or something. And/or if there could be an option to go to the relic's associated wilderness region even after giving a field report, that would also work.

I found another problem with wilderness exploration, especially in fighting mode: x5000 is so fast (even if it's only actually running at x3000) that it's really hard to stop it at a point where I'm not in a battle. So I run it at x5000 for a while in order to get the relic, and then when I get it, I want to move on to the next region. But it sometimes takes 100 years of pausing and unpausing and trying to switch to a slower speed and clicking the wilderness buttons to be able to get to a point where I can travel, because you can't travel or even switch speeds when a battle is active. Sometimes it looks like I've selected a different speed, but it just resets to x5000 right away. There should be a way to just advance far enough to clear the current battle and then pause again, so that I can actually travel or do what I need to do.
