I have just started my forays into the Mistlands and been scared witless due to the videos about Seeker Soldiers. Just found out they go down faster than a fat kid on cake when using a Frostner upgraded to level 4.

The frostner does work pretty well on a soldier. My problem is when I get too many seekers on me. You can sometimes get jumped by 3-4 of them, and then I find that I just can't keep up. That's when the demolisher comes out!

Funny story... I was just walking around my half plains, half mistlands base when a seeker event hit. Of course, I was wandering around with 25HP after just completing a project. It's a fully enclose stone box structure, so perfectly safe, at least long enough to get some food and "put my pants on"... Except for that one little hole in the wall along the stairs that I keep forgetting to plug.

I'm going to have to fix that... as soon as I get the stone out of the gravestone sitting on the stairs.

Aaaaaand this is why I have one base and one base only, and it's in a meadow. I'll port metals back and forth using a 2nd world I call 'Haven' (for good reason). For the Mistlands I build a portal in the nearby biome (Black Forest) and hike in.

A seeker event...... sounds like awesome fun. I didn't know there was such a thing.

FWIW my only problem with multiple seekers is blowing my stamina wasting blows on uneven terrain. With everything else being equal, a black metal tower shield makes me take very little damage and with Frostyboy I can whittle them down if I'm patient. Not sure why it works so well as compared to say my black metal sword, but it does.
