　⚫︎　Neople has alerted The First Berserker: Khazan players about a bug involving the Primeval Regression Orb. The glitch can occur when resetting character level while equipped with the pre-order "Hero’s Weapon and Armor" set, potentially causing permanent stat loss. This issue may lead to inaccurate stat values on the status screen, disrupt upgrade costs using Lacrima, or even lower certain stats below the minimum 10.

Neople clarified that the pre-order gear provides a flat +5 bonus to all stats, which conflicts with the Orb’s recalculation when used while the bonus is active. A patch is underway, and players are recommended to avoid respeccing while wearing the affected gear.
