⚫︎ Attention, players of The First Berserker: Khazan! Neople has issued a crucial warning regarding a bug associated with the Primeval Regression Orb. This issue affects players who reset their levels while equipped with the pre-order "Hero’s Weapon and Armor" set, potentially leading to permanent stat loss. The bug causes stat values to display inaccurately, impacts upgrade costs involving the Lacrima resource, and can even drop stats below the minimum threshold of 10. Neople notes that the pre-order gear adds a flat +5 bonus to all stats, which causes incorrect recalculations if the Orb is used while this bonus is active. A fix is in the works, and players are advised to avoid respecs until then.
