I have similar feelings. While I do enjoy a good challenge the mistlands has just too much frustration and not enough reward.

I feel like all the downsides already mentioned might just need a small adjustment. Just take the edge off and it would be much better.

My biggest wants:

- Tone back the mist a touch. This would be nice for aesthetic reasons too, I would like to be able to see more of the mistlands as it's a cool place.

- Stamina needs an upgrade, too easy to burn it all in very short amounts of time.

- Make materials less grindy to attain. At least to get the basics going with the new
mistlands items.
