⚫ Nexon and Neople have confirmed that The First Berserker: Khazan will receive a major update on May 15, introducing two new boss rush modes under the Ultimate Challenge

⚫ Neople has issued a warning to players about a critical bug involving the Primeval Regression Orb. The issue occurs when players reset their level while wearing the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set, potentially causing permanent stat loss. This includes incorrect stat values displayed in the status menu, increased Lacrima upgrade costs, and some stats dropping below the minimum threshold of 10.
This bug arises because the pre-order gear provides a flat +5 bonus to all stats, which can interfere with recalculations when using the orb. A fix is currently being developed, and players are advised to avoid respecing while equipped with this gear.
