⚫︎ Attention, adventurers! Neople has issued an urgent warning to players of The First Berserker: Khazan about a critical bug linked to the Primeval Regression Orb. This bug affects players who reset their level while equipped with the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set, potentially leading to permanent stat loss. The issue causes stat values to be displayed incorrectly, impacts upgrade costs using the Lacrima resource, and can even reduce stats below the minimum threshold of 10.

Neople clarifies that the pre-order gear adds a flat +5 to all stats, which interferes with stat recalculations when the Orb is used. A fix is in the works, and players are urged to avoid respecs while wearing this gear until the issue is resolved.
