Well there's also the best food and ammo currently available, but yeah.

I think we'll have more uses for other mistlands materials and items even before ashlands though.

I hope so, because things like carpace armor to max quality 2 don't mean much compared to a maxed padded

If getting mistlands gear was any more grinding it wouldn't be worth it. Not even the cape.

the mist and terrain are major anti-fun elements of mistlands.
once you kill the queen the game comes to an abrupt end progression-wise, which was the case for previous patches as well, and that's a shame because i didn't even get to test out the majority of the new stuff.
i made a krom sword and some carapace armor + the feather cloak, which was enough to 'complete' the game... oh and the crossbow.. i tried the crossbow too so there's that.

i didn't get to try out any of the magic stuff.
i didn't get to try the new sledgehammer.
i didn't get to try pretty much anything else, because there was simply no need to.
the game didn't put me in a situation that motivated me to make any of the new stuff except the most basic things.

p.s those of you who are angry about not being able to upgrade your new gear to level 4 (stuck at level 2) you can turn on creative mode and disable bench/materials requirements which allows you to upgrade your new gear to max quality... is that cheating? well, i dunno... seems like just bringing the gear up to where its intended to be to me, but one of my buddies was outraged that i had the gall to do that lol. 16 more armor overall, and 10 more damage per swing on my krom sword, and some increased durability doesn't seem like a harsh "cheat" to me.

imo it was ridiculous that they didn't implement the tools to upgrade your gear to max in the first place. dunno if they didn't have the time or whats going on with that, but they really ought to implement upgradeable gear in its entirety when they release a patch that includes new gear, especially if they plan to properly balance enemies vs. the player, because now they're gonna be tuning enemy mobs bearing in mind that people only have access to level 2 gear/weapons.

and people saying mines are hard to find? really? are you playing old or outdated seeds or what is this? in each bigger mistland biome youll find more than enough of these. and they are nearly always easy to spot due to the blue lights which marrk them very often.

Me and my friends finally reached the mistlands, and after a while there i want to give my feedback on the issues i read about:

- The Mist: well, i think the wisplight and the wisp torches could use a few more meters of range, but not too much, maybe double it. It can be annoying in some situations, where you basically see just ahead of your nose (not sure when it happens, i think its about the height), but not gamebreaking.

- The Landscape: It can be annoying sometimes, and exploits some weak technical point of the game, but still not not the main issues, and it's really good looking (when you can actually see it)

- The Progression: This is what i think feels really wierd about the mistlands.
We are there for a while, and did only a few mines, but we have stored a lot of materials we couldn't use at all, never happened in previous biomes, and we didn't get any sense of progression.
Now we just got five black cores, and we'll be basically forced to circle forge/rafinery/magic table (which i don't like at all to do, it feels almost like cheating) to make use of them, or wait another long time without any progression, to get at least to 10 cores, to unlock something useful... and if we circle the table we'll get to craft a lot of things all at once with all the materials we stored.
What's left after that? I guess the queen.
I'm not sure about they could fix it now, maybe reduce to 3 cores the requirements for the tables, maybe link the refinery to the presence of a black forge or magic table to compensate for that, or remove the eitr requirements from the carpace armor and something else, to make use of the collected materials earlier, i don't know.

I might change my opinion later, but for now i think the progression is the only real issue of the mistlands.
Did i get something wrong?

It's unlikely you'll be able to reach the Queen without having explored a greater number of mines in the first place. I guess you could get lucky and find 3 fragments and the vegvisir in each of your first 3 mines, but you'll probably want more jelly and blood too, especially for group play with mages. Into the dungeons you go.
