What can't you carry to New Game +?

[Daigotsu]

Just wondering. I know equipament is one, but what else? Can I carry the masteries I got from items?

[The Tempted Man]

3rd level mystic artes cannot be carried, for no reason.

[Fel]

Aside from levels, artes (all of them, not just 3rd mystic artes, although you can carry over their usage count), equipments and story-unlocked functions, the only things that you can't pay Grade to carry over seem to be the cosmetic items from the catz boxes (they still appear but are greyed out).

By story-unlocked, I mean dangerous/risky/advantageous encounters, blast gauge, geo-board (and because it's tied to the story too Laphicet's mystic artes).

Although they are not technically locked away, a lot of consumable items from shops are not available in early shops (like dark bottles for example).

You don't carry levels??? Herbs used are carried? At least masteries are carried. I kind like them! hehehe

Edit: also, all characters are locked again, except Velvet?

...What exactly can you carry over? If you can't carry equipment, levels, arts, or even costumes, what's left that carries over? Just equipment masteries?

For everyone else that wanted to know, here's what you can buy in the grade shop. 13,000 to buy everything. Not sure where I can check how much I currently have.

Records, or one of Eizen's titles shows grade earned.

So just to confirm: herb "enchantments" are the herbs you eat, right? Thought they would appear on the passive list, just like masteries, but it does not seems to be the case.

[Fel]

The inventory herbs are in "consumable items" (it's all the items in that tab), Herb Enhancements are the stats you already gave to your characters through herbs.

Herb's stats are added direcly to the "base" stats (the ones before equipments, titles and skills come in effect), so you don't have an easy way to check how many herbs have been given to each character, but because there are no real limits aside from the stat cap, it doesn't really mater.

It is good to know that if you barely used herbs at all, you could in theory "save" 1000 grade from what you have to grind.

But I'm enjoying the idea of herb, specially to fill some weird stats (like Eizen having the lowest defense of all characters). Will grind it! xD

Just to not open a new topic: new gear opens as the story progresses or there's another thing that can change that?

[Fel]

In NG+ the shops sell all of what they are capable of selling, regardless of story progression (it's based on the city's "level".
Not sure if it was the question though.

Yeah, that was it. :D

Once again, thanks for all your help!

Can you carry over Add-on-related items? Just wanting to check since i'm considering buying/using the "Adventure Item Super Pack" add-on on NG+, which sounds like a good idea since i'm going to do the maximum difficulty level, and the aforementioned dlc pack will help IMMENSELY on that extremely tougher difficulty after all.

If anyone can answer this then i'd be greatly appreciative.

Yes, you can carryover those. DLC items also reset in NG+, so you can even reactivate them in the inventory. Many things in Adventure Item Super Pack booster can also be gotten via the Grade Shop when entering NG+. But if you are lazy to grind the grade, you can just directly use the Adventure Pack.

[Rookie (ZOE)]

Ah, I see. Just wanted to make sure since I didn't know whether or not DLC items carryover since it would be REALLY inconvenient if DLC costumes disappear along with those acquired via Katz Boxes if not using an option to carry those over and not have the requirement to do so...

Thanks a bunch for clarifying that issue I was worried about.
