I think New Game+ also carries over your Cole too, which may or may not make a difference depending on how much you have by the end of the game. There are a few items that you you should probably craft as soon as you get the chance to because they are really useful in helping you manage your time. The Speed Gloves reduce the time it takes you to harvest items from 50% of the day to 30%, and they are available to craft once you get a Gold Rank License. Then there are the Traveler's Shoes that reduce the time that you use traveling by foot on the world map by 30%, and I think the materials you need to craft them are available once you get a Platinum Rank license. Lastly there's there Traveler's Gate which allows you to warp to either Atelier immediately as long as you aren't in a town, which saves a lot of time traveling just to get to your Atelier. I don't remember exactly when you can craft the gate though. As for Flauchtraut, I think the recommended level to beat it was around level 35 for your party members. If you're looking for a boost in EXP, you should synthesize a Gibate Ankh with the "Great Learner" trait, which increases the EXP you get from battles. I would also probably take Mimi along to the Flauschtraut boss fight because I think you'll miss something if you don't.
