I've gotta disagree with the notion that getting sent back to the last shelter is the only penalty for dying! there is definitely Something Else that happens each time you die . . .
Oh trust me, I know how it feels to be losing all your levels, but IMO it's a bit of a trick on the developer end to make things feel more impactful than they are. Most of the gates you NEED to get through in tougher areas are min level, and the higher level ones tend to be in places where you can rather safely gather up what you need. I'd argue the game is actually quite nice and player friendly in this regard. So I think the sooner the player decides to start ignoring this mechanic the better, and then just start raising it once they find a gate they want to cross and have already mastered the area they are in. I do love the tension of needing to track things down and hang onto it once you decide it's time to start raising, and yeah those deaths are the ones that hit the hardest.
