What carries over to New Game+
Sorry for the recent spam of common questions, I'm just too stupid.

In NG+, I assume your stats and levels get carried through. What about gear? What about Character notes? Do I have to redo all the tedious ones too? Are the enemies levels scaled? As in, would the first dungeon be like level 1000 instead of level 1.

- inherit mira and sepith

- inherit various kinds of items (equips, master quartz, quartz, consumables, books), except certain event items

Various Note Info (1 point)

Status (2 points)
- character level, slots, master quartz level

Stage Costume (1 point)

Other Costumes (1 point)

Also, even if you don't carry over anything, the river and pond in Trista will have all possible fish available on a NG+.

Many people use a NG+ save from the start just for the Maximum/Unlimited Bonding Points.

Enemy levels do not change on NG+, so carrying over level means you can steamroll the early parts of the game. It's probably intended for "I just want to watch the story again".

I assume Maximum Bonding points is the best option? I'm going to play the NG+ on Nightmare so I thought Status (2 points) would give me a advantage against the difficulty. I also planned on using the Various Note info (1 point) so I can just gather the few stuff that I missed.

I assume Mira, sepith x 3000 (2 points) and Mira / sepith (1 point) are useless since I wouldn't need them because I would have all my gear from Status (2 points)

Is it worth to carry status over? Since, maximum bonding points seems more useful. I could redo all the notes despite how tedious it might be,

Maximum Bonding Points is good specifically for seeing everyone's event without needing to reload and for seeing most possible endings. It's not going to change the difficulty much other than making Rean's link attacks with everyone good instead of only making them good with a few people.

I don't recommend that you carry over status, the game is not that difficult even on Nightmare. You'll just bore yourself for the first 2/3 of the game because the battles are too easy.

Carrying over Status does NOT carry over any of your inventory, that would be Items. Mira is fine because it helps with ingredients and equipment purchasing. Sepith lets you unlock slots faster, but if you carry over items you get your quartz (but not the Master Quartz levels).

This might help: It's a zip file with some saves. You want save number 242, which is my clear data from a NG+ run, so you have 10 points to spend.

ty for the save file, I really appreciate it and the help. I don't know if i'll use it though because to me personally, it feels like cheating because I didn't do any of it myself.

You don't need to spend all 10 points if you don't want, but you were talking about taking some things, and Max Bonding Points takes four points, leaving you room for only one other thing. I just thought you might want the extra room to take the stuff you wanted AND max bonding points.

The constumes are cosmetic only and don't matter

If you're worried about cheating, don't take the 300,000 mira and 3000 sepith, the status, and the items.

Hey sorry to disturb but I have a question relating to your save file. I don't intend on playing it but I wanted to carry it over to Trails of Cold Steel 2. My question is, do I get all the bonuses when I carry over?

https://steamcommunity.com/app/748490/discussions/0/1744478429687498930/


As in, I assume the file has done every quest, reached max ap at one point etc but I don't have any confirmation to be sure

Every quest, full AP is correct, but it's not an absolute 100% file.

That file only reached level 70, so if you use it in CS 2, you'll miss out on 200 Sepith of each type and the Saintly Force quartz, but neither are a big loss.

You'll also see the bonus dialogue for almost all potential CS 1 bonfire event partners, except for Sara and Towa, who I did not unlock. The chosen partner was Alisa, which means she gets +1000 link XP.
