You'll probably want your next major base to be near iron, which means close to a swamp that has several crypts in it. Not every swamp has crypts. Look for the torches as you sail by. Then use portals to connect your bases so you don't have to build everything again.

Thank you for this advice. Would you suggest looking for this before taking on the second boss or afterwards? I got troll armor before I took on the first boss so I am just curious whether I should keep my equipment one step ahead.

I would recommend at least scouting the next biome up before killing the previous boss. Killing the boss (or was it mounting the trophy?) opens up the next level of base raids. This way you will be familiar with the new mobs that might show up before you unlock the raid.

(The Elder has something you need before gearing up to the next level, so it would be more trouble than it's worth to try to get a jump on the armor.)
