⚫︎ Neople has issued an urgent warning to players of The First Berserker: Khazan about a critical bug related to the Primeval Regression Orb. The issue arises when players reset their level while equipped with the pre-order "Hero’s Weapon and Armor" set, potentially leading to permanent stat loss. This bug can cause incorrect stat displays on the status screen, affect Lacrima resource upgrade costs, and even drop stats below the minimum threshold of 10.

Neople explains that the pre-order gear provides a flat +5 bonus to all stats, causing recalculations to go awry when the Orb is used. A fix is in the works, and players are strongly advised to avoid respecs while wearing this gear.
