About serums and NG+.

[[rori] Nade]

I have a few questions regarding serums and increased stats:

1 - If I boost my main character with all serums (x10) and start a NG+, will the boosted stats carry over too? Or are they reset/removed?

2 - Following my first question, can I farm serums (another x10) in my new NG+? And, can I use them again on the same character?

The idea is, playing multiples NG+ to make a character unstoppable.

1. boosted stat carried over , those stat are stored in character data

2. I'm not sure if you could farm them over and over since there are some hidden data to keep tracked about how many you have obtain that item already.

4th class lvl 99 Angela(which very easily obtainable in NG+) with a proper setup skill and class already strong enough to vaporize everything in game less than 30 secs

If you want your favorite character unstoppable then it won't hurt a try ... right?

Does luck stat effect anything other than drop rate?
for example ... critical hit rate or Ninjutsu spell?

The Ninja's traps and thrown weapons are affected by Luck for their damage. I dunno about Ninjutsu. That might be INT, like spells.
Actually, it seems all of Hawk's non-elemental abilities are increased via Luck

@Ree Yeah, I am using Angela, she is an excellent nuker (L/L path + 4th class). Against Bosses, she doesn't do well breaking the blue things to stop the bosses' mega charge attack (I am faster with Riesz using normal attacks/strong attacks combo).

luck affects crit rate and projectile/traps. Ninjutsus are not traps so they scale off INT, shurikens are projectiles. Some other hawk nightblade (dark/dark) spells like breaths and black rain might also use INT, but needs testing. Rogue (light/dark) spells are most difinitely all luck spells.

I am on my NG+ and I haven't got a single serum (I am after mana sanctuary + Hawkeye for easy farming). I think serums are limited to 10 and no more. So... is people cheating their characters? :P.

Ninjutsu damage is increased by INT / MGC ATK;

HOWEVER, any ability that explicitly says it increases *MAGIC damage dealt* does not increase them, for whatever reason.

But since you gain more MGC ATK from your own weapons you're good to go.

I'm pretty sure ControllerPassAway used some sort of mod to get to that point. No one has confirmed that you can farm more than 10 serums. Unless someone shows a gameplay of them farming/getting more than the initial 10 serums, it is not possible to farm to his level.

^This. Don't look at cheating steroided up guys to compare your progress.

You can't use serums in battle.

With NG+ NOT allowing further Serums, the last incentive to start a NG+ playthrough died for me. Just to get a Steam achievement is no reason and Id rather start a new game and not NG+ to get it.

A lot of games that have NG+ did it much better, allowing you to specify what to keep and offer an incentive like increased stats for each successive playthrough. Im sure a mod will allow you to do this but since it isnt part of the game it makes NG+ moot.

On my first run, I got a serum each 10-20 seeds.
On my NG+ run, after 198~ seeds, no serums. So I can confirm there only are 10 serums of each type in total.
