⚫︎ Attention all players of The First Berserker: Khazan: Neople has issued a critical warning about a bug linked to the Primeval Regression Orb. This issue arises when players reset their level while equipped with the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set, which can lead to permanent stat loss. The bug not only causes stats to be displayed incorrectly on the status screen but also affects upgrade costs using the Lacrima resource and can even reduce stats below the minimum threshold of 10.

Neople has clarified that the pre-order gear provides a flat +5 bonus to all stats, which results in incorrect recalculations when using the Orb. A fix is currently in the works, and players are strongly advised to avoid respecs while wearing this gear until further notice.
