⚫︎ Neople has issued an important alert for players of The First Berserker: Khazan regarding a critical bug related to the Primeval Regression Orb. This issue can occur when players reset their level while equipped with the pre-order "Hero’s Weapon and Armor" set, potentially leading to permanent stat loss. The bug affects stat display on the status screen, alters upgrade costs using the Lacrima resource, and can even drop stats below the minimum threshold of 10.

Neople has identified that the pre-order gear's flat +5 bonus to all stats causes incorrect recalculations when the Orb is used. A fix is in the works, and players are urged to avoid respecs while wearing the gear until the issue is resolved.
