⚫︎ Neople has issued a player warning regarding a bug linked to the Primeval Regression Orb in The First Berserker: Khazan. The problem occurs if players reset their level while wearing the pre-order ‘Hero’s Weapon and Armor’ set, which can result in permanent stat loss. The bug may cause stats to display incorrectly, impact upgrade costs using Lacrima, and even reduce certain stats below the base value of 10.
Neople clarifies that the pre-order gear provides a fixed +5 bonus to all stats. Using the Orb while that bonus is active triggers incorrect recalculations. A patch is in the works, and players are advised against respecing while using the gear.
