⚫︎ Attention all players! Neople has issued a critical warning regarding a bug associated with the Primeval Regression Orb in The First Berserker: Khazan. This bug can lead to permanent stat loss if players reset their level while wearing the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set. It causes incorrect stat display on the status screen, impacts upgrade costs using the Lacrima resource, and can even drop some stats below the minimum threshold of 10. The issue stems from the pre-order gear's flat +5 bonus to all stats, which leads to incorrect recalculations upon using the Orb. A fix is currently in the works, and players are advised to avoid respecs while wearing the gear.
