Things I wish I knew for NG+

[warlock]

It is well known that in NG+ you start new game again at lvl 1, while keeping from previous game only:
- perks and abilities
- bestiary/fishiary entries
- Wicked Monocle that show dungeon treasure

What I didn't know, and would have helped me a bit, is following:
1) if you finished first game with 3 characters (say Garrison, Gully and Bretto ), you do *not* need to level other 3 before NG+ in order to transfer their perks to NG+. Even if they were lvl 1 with no perks, in NG+ they will start as lvl 1 with all perk points normally obtained by leveling
2) I *strongly* suggest to finish fishiary before NG+ . In that case you can get Garrison's Fish sword from Fishmonger as soon as you open path to Cantina/Fishmonger - meaning that at lvl 14 or so you can get lvl 26 Garrison sword that is better than almost all other swords until his epic (making lvl 14-26 easy, and also making easy doing full Arena to get epic later on )

And few hints that are valid for normal game as well as for NG+, but I needed them mostly in NG+:
3) To get Garrison's best Armor (High Paladin Armor, with invigorate) at lvl 4, first kill Bevelos in Iron Outpost ( he will drop lvl 5 armor with +5 invigorate), and then repeat Iron Outpost and 2nd time set Bevelos free. Then when you reach Deathwatch dungeon and kill Bevelos again, you will get higher level version of High Paladin Armor, with +10 overcharge per round. Later, in Mana Rift, use upgrade robot to upgrade it to legendary (orange) version - it will still have +10 overcharge, but now with 1056dmg/256sta ( which is best Garrison's armor in game )
4) best way to obtain shadow coins for me was fishing. Assuming you are lvl 30 and have lvl 30 rod/lure ( for 80 coins from Artifact merchant) , if you fish at Fishmonger do it only at two *last* fishing spots ( two closest to fishmonger, since other two are lower lvl and result in much less reward), sell parts to fishmonger for coins, go back to village and sell eventual fished artifacts to Artifact merchant, sleep over in tavern to reset fish and repeat. It takes around 6min for one such round, netting on average 50 shadow coins per those 6min
5) in Mana Rift, if you come across Vision Cronicles Mirror, simply always select *second* option ( when more than one is available) and you will always get max 10 scrolls out - netting you best reward ( reward is still random, 2-6 infused crystals plus some green/purple item etc )
