⚫︎ A heads-up for players of The First Berserker: Khazan: Neople has pinpointed a critical bug linked to the Primeval Regression Orb. This glitch occurs when players attempt to reset their level while equipped with the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set, potentially leading to permanent stat loss. The bug can misrepresent stat values on the status screen, impact upgrade costs with Lacrima, and even reduce stats below the minimum threshold of 10. Neople clarifies that the pre-order gear adds a flat +5 to all stats, causing recalculation issues when using the Orb. A fix is in the works, and players are advised to avoid respecs until it's resolved.
