⚫︎ Attention all players of The First Berserker: Khazan: Neople has identified a critical bug related to the Primeval Regression Orb. This issue can lead to permanent stat loss if players reset their level while equipped with the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set. The bug affects stat display on the status screen, alters upgrade costs with Lacrima, and can even reduce stats below the minimum threshold of 10. Neople attributes this to the pre-order gear's flat +5 bonus to all stats, which causes incorrect recalculations upon using the Orb. A fix is in the works, but until then, avoid respecs while wearing the gear.
