⚫︎ Attention, adventurers! Neople has issued a critical warning to players of The First Berserker: Khazan regarding a bug linked to the Primeval Regression Orb. This issue arises when players attempt to reset their level while equipped with the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set, which could result in permanent stat loss. The bug can cause incorrect stat displays, alter upgrade costs involving the Lacrima resource, and even drop stats below the minimum threshold of 10. Neople has confirmed that the pre-order gear's flat +5 stat bonus leads to miscalculations when the Orb is used. A fix is in the works, but until then, players are urged to avoid respecs while wearing this gear.
