⚫︎ Neople has issued a critical warning to The First Berserker: Khazan players about a bug associated with the Primeval Regression Orb. When players attempt to reset their level while wearing the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set, they might experience permanent stat loss. This glitch can lead to incorrect stat display on the status screen, alter upgrade costs with the Lacrima resource, and 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 causes incorrect recalculations when using the Orb. Neople is currently developing a fix, and players are urged to avoid respecs while wearing this gear.
