　⚫︎　Neople issued a warning about a bug in The First Berserker: Khazan tied to the Primeval Regression Orb. Resetting levels while equipped with the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set may cause permanent stat loss, incorrect stat displays, increased Lacrima upgrade costs, or stats dropping below the minimum threshold of 10.

Neople noted that the pre-order gear’s +5 stat bonus triggers miscalculations during resets. A fix is in progress, and players are advised to avoid respecs while wearing the gear.
