Here's hoping ;)

I built a small base yeah its been completely safe and ive never had an easier time entering the swamps. I guess to maybe not cause issues ill just scrap it to nothing some point after the caves update before mistlands comes out. I wish I had seen it even if it didnt have enemies before they reduced it to barren dark and quiet nothingness.

I wouldn't build anything there for several reasons, #1 being that the shape of the terrain might change in the major update.

My little home from home in the Mistlands has been safe and sound for almost a year and given the rate of roll out from Iron Gate, it may well be safe for at least another 6 months to a year LOL ;)
@OP If you need a safe place to rest up near to a swamp and this is your only option, then go for it. It may be temporary, however a simple shack with a teleport ring is a much safer and more efficient way to deal with a boss when far from home.

Do note, though, that your Mistlands biomes may look different than this, OP. They are still 100% safe, though.

They recently updated the biome itself, so it is no longer very tall trees, bones, cobwebs, etc.; it's simply barren terrain now. (This was done in preparation for the actual Mistlands update, which will bring it from what it is now (barren) to a functional biome as we know them.)

HOWEVER.. I don't know about now, but prior to the update that made the terrain barren, the only unsafe thing about Mistlands biomes was that the Skeleton raid could still happen there. I don't know if anything at all happens in the biome now, or if the Skeleton raid can still occur.

If you're worried about Skelebros, though, just keep a mace on hand, or a 2-hander (Stagbreaker, or the Iron Sledge is better) in a chest there or something and you'll get a lot of free Bone Fragments and Trophies.

If you are still in bronze gear then you shouldn't typically looking to deal with the boss yet. Personally I would find a swamp with iron crypts and upgrade my gear first.

Then, since I have experience and know what to look for, I would go for silver gear with the iron level gear. Beat bonemass later. But if this is your first time through that part may be an issue for you.

As long as you're far from the borders of another biome, then yeah, they're 100% safe.

It depends, when the update comes you might regret setting up in it, as you want to explore. But there are many other mistlands. If you want to build there go for it, just do not expect it to become Mistlands 2 after the release.
