⚫︎ Attention, warriors of The First Berserker: Khazan! Neople has issued a critical warning about a bug linked to the Primeval Regression Orb. If you reset your level while equipped with the pre-order "Hero’s Weapon and Armor" set, you could experience permanent stat loss. This bug can cause stats to display incorrectly, affect Lacrima resource costs for upgrades, and even drop stats below the minimum of 10. The issue arises because the pre-order gear adds a flat +5 to all stats, which interferes with recalculations when using the Orb. Neople is actively working on a fix, and advises players to avoid respecs while wearing this gear.
