Just to make sure(NG+)

Does the items and upgrades used on your stats carry over into New Game+? Levels do not, and you have to unlock the ability to use archetypes again(though progress IN archetypes and unlocked skills remain)

[ichigozanget]

Archetype and item levels carry over mostly to New Game+. That means you start with a level 1 character with late-game weapons and armor. Other things are archetypes, which are locked behind the characters' social link. They stay locked until you reach the social link, but you keep the levels.

For example: If I start in New Game+, I should start with my main character level 1, but with Seeker up to level 20 and I can equip my latest weapon/armor/accessory.

The question is, do things like laundry and deck scrubbing, the stat up items, the dragon shrine, and bath salts, do those carry over?

If you're on NG+ you could check your current stats and then launch a New Game and compare? But idk

stat bonuses from bathing, incense, toilet, etc DOES NOT carry over

the incense items and the bath salts themselves however DO carryover

Kinda expected bonus stats not carried over except the items. Good thing didn't spend any.

Yes

That's disappointing as someone coming off SMTV:V. I like my min maxing. Oh well.

Do stat bonuses from maxing archetypes reapply once unlocked?

This I can say yes, they do after testing it with a few characters on this playthru.

Indeed...though it's not like there's much else to do...especially once I realized that cooking can do multiple of each dish at a time...it took me until my SECOND playthru visit to the water city to realize that...I'm sometimes not very observant.

Yeah, I barely did them early on because there were so many better options for my time, and now that I'm at the endgame it feels like a complete waste to do it if it's not gonna carry over.

[Star Sage]

To be fair, both DO give other rewards, and the only other things to do on the regular are raise royal stats, which gives a small magla payout if you're already maxed.

Laundry, which gives MP, also gives you money, quite a lot at the time it starts, as it varies between 2500-5000, which is a good chunk of change at the start of the game, or even into it for a bit.

It's Cleaning that delivers though. You get 3 choices of rooms, and so far I've gotten two items from them, rolled at random which you'll get. For most they're high value ingredients, but stuff you can buy at endgame. However, one of the Storage Rooms items is two pieces of 'Tail Bait' which can catch the Lord of the Lake special fish, which is used in some high end cooking, and you can't otherwise get anywhere else.

Now, that Dragon Shrine? That thing is worthless now, as it ONLY gives a party member a +5 MP, which, having used it on Heismay several times for my own reasons in the first playthru, I can say doesn't seem to carry over as he's not got much more than anyone else.
