I rather drag my balls on nails than fight in the mistlands. It's very poorly designed to inflict artificial difficulty, it add unnecessary frustration to the game and shoe horns people into going magic. Mistlands biome it self is a very poor addition to the game, but the crafting etc side of the game is still good. It's a shame that you have to mountain goat all over the place, the cape helps not to fall to your death but overall i hate mistalnds.
