⚫︎ Attention, The First Berserker: Khazan players! Neople has issued a critical warning regarding a bug associated with the Primeval Regression Orb. If you reset your level while wearing the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set, you might experience permanent stat loss. This glitch can cause incorrect stat displays, affect Lacrima upgrade costs, and even drop stats below the minimum threshold of 10. The pre-order gear provides a flat +5 bonus to all stats, which can lead to incorrect recalculations if the Orb is used. A fix is in the works, but until then, avoid respecs while wearing the gear.
