Pavilion:Official Help Menu

Translation of the official Kemono Friends Pavilion guide, accessible here in Japanese.

About Areas
The savanna, mountains, and waterfront zones in Japari Park Pavilion are called 'areas'. There also appears to be other areas in addition to these three. In order to access an area other than the savanna, it must be restored first. Restoration requires Pavilicoins in order to perform it.

About Pavilicoins
Pavilicoins are required for performing certain actions, such as restoring areas within Japari Park Pavilion. You can have up to 999,999,999 Pavilicoins at once. They can be obtained by encountering Friends within the unlocked areas.

About Playthings
Each area can hold up to 10 playthings. Some playthings can only be placed in specific locations. You can own up to 99 playthings at any given time. Playthings can be crafted by using materials.

About Friends
A single area can hold up to 10 Friends at any given time. Should a Friend attempt to arrive at a full location, the Friend that first arrived in the area will leave to make room.

About Archive Levels
Archive levels measure how much information you have collected for each Friend. Encountering a Friend gains them Archive EXP, which increases their level. The maximum level currently possible is 99.

About Archive EXP
Archive EXP is an experience points system necessary for leveling up a Friend. Archive EXP is earned when a Friend is encountered in an area.

About Materials
There are 5 types of materials currently available: sturdy wood, soft cloth, cold stone, stretchy rubber, and rough steel. These can be used to craft playthings. You can obtain materials by encountering Friends in each area. You can have up to 999 of each material at once. (It is possible that the storage limit for materials will be increased in the future. We ask for your kind understanding.) You can check the number of materials you currently have in the Status tab of the Pavilion Level icon, located at the top left hand side of the menu.

About SS (Sandstar) Printer
The SS (Sandstar) Printer allows you to create playthings by spending Pikapika. If the player attempts to create a plaything past the cap of 99, the crafted plaything is converted into rough steel. The amount of rough steel obtained from crafting depends on the rarity of the plaything created. For 3☆ playthings: 3 rough steel For 4☆ playthings: 15 rough steel It is possible that the types and counts of the materials obtained may change in the future. We ask for your kind understanding.

About Pikapika
Pikapika crystal counts are separated into paid Pikapika (which are purchased with real currency) and free Pikapika (which are obtained ingame as rewards) totals. Pikapika is used for the SS (Sandstar) Printer and for replenishing Special Japari Buns. You can have up to 999,999,999 Pikapika crystals at once. You can check the number of paid and free Pikapika crystals you have in Options -> Purchase Information.

About Purchasing Pikapika
The amount of Pikapika you can purchase each month varies depending on the age provided at age verification. Under 16: Up to 5,000 JPY per month 16-19: Up to 20,000 JPY per month 20 and older: No limit

About Japari Buns
After you have placed playthings in an area, you can enounter Friends by distributing Japari Buns. Once you distribute Japari Buns, you cannot distribute them again for a period of time. When you leave an area, the Japari Buns that are currently being distributed in that area are lost.

About Special Japari Buns
By distributing Special Japari Buns, you can encounter even more Friends than by using regular Japari Buns. You can distribute Special Japari Buns by using Pikapika or by watching a short advertisement video. When you leave an area, the Japari Buns that are currently being distributed in that area are lost.

About Using Japari Buns Simultaneously
After you have placed playthings in an area, it is possible to distribute both Japari Buns and Special Japari Buns simultaneously.

About Pavilion Level
