⚫︎ Neople has issued a critical warning to players of The First Berserker: Khazan concerning a bug associated with the Primeval Regression Orb. This bug can lead to permanent stat loss if players reset their level while equipped with the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set. The issue causes stat values to appear incorrectly on the status screen, impacts upgrade costs using the Lacrima resource, and can even drop stats below the minimum threshold of 10. Neople attributes the problem to the pre-order gear's flat +5 stat bonus, which results in incorrect recalculations during level resets. A fix is in development, and players are advised to avoid respecs while wearing the gear until the issue is resolved.
