Love it! A former hero learning to chill and bake—that’s the Solitaria spirit! 😊 It sounds like she’s on a perfect path to find that simpler life (and maybe even master the art of sourdough).
And you’re right—Skybeasts are indeed the way to explore the other islands. You can rent one at any Skybeast Rental Port for -1P, and the restrictions are there to gradually ease you into new content and give your character time to adapt. When you’re ready to head back home, though, just hop on a Cloud Shuttle, which will cost only time spent.
