For me, it depends on what the plan is with the friends I game with. Sometimes I game with my kids so for an easier time I'll bring my main leveled person in. When we reset for mistlands, we'll all want each other to start over, probably.

Right now with my friends we started a new world, but we kinda just stared at bronze though lol

My friend group had basically just finished a run when Mistlands came out (All we had left to do was beat Yagluth, so it worked out perfectly).

Since it was an old-gen map, we had to pass 3 island-y mistlands before we finally found a real mistlands biome, 5 infested mines so far and at least a dozen dwarf settlements!. I definitely recommend just putting in a bit more time exploring - it's faster than starting from scratch, that's for sure.

I used my leveled character and brought all of my weapons and tools but no armor. It's been a nice balance so far of going thru the progression without feeling grindy. Armor is what trivializes the early game. I can 4 hit a troll but the troll can also 4 hit me which keeps it interesting.

I started a new seed some time ago, I was looking for something interesting to build a port/shipyard and bosses quite close and I found by chance a good map, construction, for a long time, 11 towers 3/5/3 with two water channels and towers on 40 meters, with the central one quite higher, in anticipation of the mistlands I did not particularly explore them, just chiselling my own project, I had a character pretty much set up with maximum equipment, and with the help of the map generator and in-game commands I found the destination and I'm up and running, bosses I'm not moving because of the build and their raids, I'll get to them after mistlands comes out.

Building in this game is what sucks me in for hours, especially when you're creating something really chunky :)

right on, that's a cool idea

up to you. some maps I use just for building, so I don't do the bosses on them so there's no raids. on adventure maps I kill all the bosses.

Thank you!

If you want to avoid raids then don't. If you want the boss power then do.

But do you re do the bosses again?

I do but I don't hang the Trophy heads tell my Base is Defensively ready because that starts the random events.
