⚫︎ Attention all The First Berserker: Khazan players! Neople has issued a crucial warning about a bug linked to the Primeval Regression Orb. If you reset your level while wearing the pre-order "Hero’s Weapon and Armor" set, you could face permanent stat loss. This bug can cause stat values to display incorrectly, affect upgrade costs using the Lacrima resource, and even reduce some stats below the minimum threshold of 10.

The issue stems from the pre-order gear granting a flat +5 bonus to all stats, leading to incorrect recalculations when the Orb is used. Neople is working on a fix, and until then, it's advised to avoid respecs while wearing the gear.
