Area progression

Treat each zone as a readiness test. A route is comfortable when you can clear its cake at a reasonable pace and carry enough to make the trip worthwhile.

What the official art shows

One current gameplay image displays “ZONE 5” and “Mythic” in the HUD while Red Velvet appears in the inventory area. Those labels are reported separately so the image is not stretched into an unsupported cake classification.

Before moving deeper

Check both limits: power to clear the layer and capacity to stay long enough. A weak value in either one can make the next zone inefficient.
