⚫︎ Attention all players! Neople has issued a crucial warning about a bug affecting the Primeval Regression Orb in The First Berserker: Khazan. This bug, triggered by resetting levels while wearing the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set, can lead to permanent stat loss. It causes stat values to display incorrectly, impacts upgrade costs using the Lacrima resource, and may reduce stats below the minimum threshold of 10.

The issue stems from the pre-order gear's flat +5 bonus to all stats, which leads to incorrect recalculations when the Orb is used. Neople is working on a fix, and players are urged to avoid respecs until further notice.
