Do nomadic merchants come back on NG+???

[WarlockZ]

I was wondering if anyone knows if the nomadic/isolated merchants happen to come back on an NG+. Also, if anyone would happen to know if your roundtable lady still has the shop upgrades from her given bells in an NG+. Currently, if they do come back, my plan is to play through my first game, then at the end after I get all the items that I want, I'll go and kill all the merchants, and depending on whether or not the shop stays upgraded, plan either upgrade and NG+, or hold the bells for NG+ and then that way i can have the full shop in the roundtable in NG+ and the merchants around the world, ALSO potentially meaning double item availibilty. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME TEST THIS??

Merchants are back in NG+, afaik bells already given to the husk are reset.

Whether or not you can keep the bells through the reset, I don't know honestly

Upgrades don't carry over. All nocs return.

I can confirm that you lose any bell bearings in your inventory in NG+

The world of NG+ is the same as regular NG, just with higher HP, Damage, and Rune drops.

Any NPCs you killed in NG will be alive in NG+.
All merchants inventories are reset (except an extreme few exceptions, but those are all multiplayer related items).
The Twin Husk merchant in Roundtable Hold is reset, you'll have to get all the bell bearings again.

THANKS! I appreciate the help guys! It would be a super cool idea I guess but they made sure to link the bells to whether or not the merchants are alive in the world. That's really good to know though! Maybe there is somehow a cheese way to do it? Put bearings into chest Perhaps? Maybe...
