Thanks it does answer a lot of my questions regarding the item dark assembly.
1a) Stat boosting bills are not retroactive, therefore you need to pass those bills ASAP (floors 10, 20 and 30) for the maximum payoff.
1b) Yes. It wouldn't be possible to double kill bosses otherwise.
1c) Yes, though not in a linear way (for details, check the formula at "F-01" in the guide).
1d) No, you'll get a positive bonus, though how much depends on some other variables (this would be the "s = 1" in the aforementioned formula)
2) It depends on how much you care about little things like the Dark Record (as you mentioned with the crime ending 2) or purchaseable BGMs. If you're only doing them for the Steam achievements, you can just reload, it won't take your achievement back somehow. Also, if you're concerned about the BGMs, be sure not to skip the cutscenes; I believe there's a bug that messes with the unlocking flags for the item world shop (I'm fairly sure I had to do the good ending twice because it didn't appear on the list). Skipping cutscenes might also screw some other stuff like Adell&Rozalin's team attack chances with each other (they are supposed to increase as you progress through the story, with a 99% chance by the last story stage available), but I digress.
3) Nope, they only work for the respective named character (for unique characters) or class (for generics). For example, Rozalin Lovers only boosts Rozalin and Archer Lovers only boosts archers (any of the 6 tiers).
4) While I would usually say it's up to your preference, I personally don't care much for stat boosting specialists, as I feel it's much faster to either level up an item or a character than to farm those specialists. While I've never bothered to see how much time it takes to get a 19998 specialist, on optimal conditions it takes slightly less than 2 hours to perfect an item or to store 186k levels on a character (or even almost 2 characters, if you're using one of them as a magichanged weapon). Since you've just unlocked LoC, I'd focus on... neither, but instead obtaining and leveling rank 39-40 items, and/or getting some important specialists like Armsmasters, Mentors, Professionals, "element resistance" for your spellcasters, farming Lovers and Felonies, etc.
Thanks man it answers the rest of my questions and quite helpful for the rest of my grind.
