⚫︎ Neople has alerted The First Berserker: Khazan players about a critical bug related to the Primeval Regression Orb. This glitch affects players who reset their levels while equipped with the pre-order "Hero’s Weapon and Armor" set, which can lead to permanent stat loss. The bug causes stat values to be incorrectly displayed, impacts upgrade costs using the Lacrima resource, and can even drop some stats below the minimum threshold of 10.

Neople has clarified that the pre-order gear provides a flat +5 bonus to all stats, resulting in incorrect recalculations when using the Orb with this bonus active. A fix is in development, and players are advised to avoid respecs while wearing the gear.
