⚫︎ Neople has issued a cautionary notice to players about a bug involving the Primeval Regression Orb in The First Berserker: Khazan. The issue arises when players reset their stats while wearing the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set, potentially causing permanent stat loss. This includes incorrect stat displays, altered Lacrima-based upgrade costs, and stats dropping below the minimum threshold of 10.
This glitch stems from the +5 stat bonus granted by the pre-order gear, which leads to improper recalculations during resets. A patch is currently in development, and players are advised not to respec while wearing the affected gear.
