Thank you! For the derivation path, being a native segwit wallet, wouldn't it always be m/84'/0'/0'?

Not necessarily. If you've made more than one account under the same passphrase, then it could be m/84'/0'/1' and so on.

I realize I may have used the wrong address limit now so while that was a waste of time, there is hope I find the right one now.

If you are searching using the xpub and --mpk, then you don't need to set an address limit anymore.

After entering the command (btcrecover.py --tokenlist tokenfile.txt --no-dupchecks etc. etc.) there are 2 popups: 1 asking for the xpub, the second for the seed phrase. Is this the same as the --mpk command?

If I use relative anchors like ^r3^Word3, ^r4^Word4, does it means those words are going be the 3rd or 4th words in the passphrase?

No, that would be the case if you were using fixed anchors rather than relative anchors.

Fixed anchors (^x^) place that word in a fixed position. Relative anchors (^rx^) place that word in relation to other relative anchors.

If you use ^3^Word3, then Word3 would be the 3rd word.
If you use ^r3^Word3, then Word3 would be placed somewhere between the words you set as ^r2^ and ^r4^, but there could be other words between them as well, and ^r3^ wouldn't necessarily be the third word.

Is 3 words the minimum number of relative anchors needed to be used for this function?

If I have word1 woRd2 w0rd3 all in 1 line, and word2, woRd2 w0rd2 in another line, how much time does each extra word take?

It's all going to depend on the size of entire tokens file. But if you change the number of possibilities in a single line from 1 to 2, then that is going to double your search space. Change another line from 1 to 2, and the will double it again, so 4x in total. So even a few extra possibilities can dramatically increase the search space.

I'm trying to figure out how many words is "doable". Is it 11, or 12? 20 takes thousands of years. So what's a doable limit to try and does each possible word in 1 line add to the time taken or not?

Again, it depends on what exactly you are searching. If you know all 12 words exactly but have them in the wrong order, then that's 12! = 479 million possibilities. If you know the order of 12 words, but each word could be one of four possibilities, then that's only 4¹² = 17 million possibilities. It will all depend on exactly how much you know and how much is unknown.

What's a doable and impossible number (hundreds of years) that can/can't be found?

Thank you! Replies in bold again.
Bonus question: Is there a post or tutorial I can learn where to quote properly? Lol
