Blessings: what to buy first?

[Shadow of Light]

well, I'm just in the save before a boss, and I already buy the "increase Sp" and "increase item drop" blessings, along with some other stuff, like "increase hp recovery" and the "improved armor".
I have 50k of Sp, and i'm not sure what it is the best to buy now. I did some tests, and the "less mp usage" and the "faster skill recovery" don't improve so much (at least in the first lvl upgrade).
so... what is the best thing to buy?

Also, the SP carries over to a new game (if I play yunica again, on another difficulty, for example)?

sorry for any bad english.

I just bought whatever I could afford as I could afford it and everything but the last four or so were were "done" by the time I beat the game, and three of the last four were at least leveled up once (don't think I did the 50k SP one on any of the characters, don't remember for sure though).

Haven't started a second playthrough with any character so I'm not sure about that. I could see it going either way though.

For me, I definitely think any blessing related to magic usage or boost is easily the most worthwhile. Even if it doesn't seem to do much at level 1, it's definitely noticeable at level 3, and can be a real... well, blessing during the final leg of the journey!

Haven't gotten it yet, but I'm starting to think that I should have saved up the SP to get the blessing that increases the amount of SP you earn for an earlier purchase. Ah, well. Sure am glad there's more than one character to run through with.

I don't recommend doing it first, but doing skipping a couple to get that earlier isn't a bad idea. You don't really gain SP fast enough at the very beginning for saving it to be worth it.

It practically doubles of what you get so it does come back faster. As well with item dropping you get a large amount.

I did get that one first on my replay since my SP carried over. But 24000 SP... eh. I still wouldn't recommend saving for that right off the bat when you're gaining just a few SP from kills. Silent Sands or maybe Guilty Fire (don't exactly remember) is the earliest you can realistically get it without excessive grinding whether you save all your SP to that point or not, and the SP gained in Wailing Blue and most of Water Prison are a pittance compared to what you can get in those areas. A few minutes of grinding and you can match all the SP you gained in Wailing Blue combined.
