⚫︎ Neople has alerted The First Berserker: Khazan community about a critical bug associated with the Primeval Regression Orb. This issue arises when players reset their levels while equipped with the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set, which can lead to permanent stat loss. The bug affects how stats are displayed and calculated, including upgrade costs using the Lacrima resource, and may even reduce some stats below the minimum threshold of 10.
Neople has identified that the pre-order gear's +5 flat bonus to all stats causes these recalculation errors when the Orb is used. They are currently working on a fix and recommend players avoid using the Orb with the pre-order gear until the issue is resolved.
