Party (Kingdom)
The Party system is a method of obtaining Friends in the Kemono Friends Kingdom mobile game. The player uses an item called a Letter for a Friend to summon a single Friend over the course of several hours, though the process can be instantly completed using a secondary item called an Instant Reply.
Overview
The Party area is an isolated grove featuring a ragged sofa with a side table, an old television set powered by a small generator, a gramophone with one record, and a low table with a dining menu and a cup of green tea. Here, Friends can prepare a welcoming ceremony for and await the arrival of a mystery Friend to whom the former's party invitation has been delivered.
To use the Party system, a player must make three selections. The first is the choosing of an Accompanied Friend, which is one of their own unlocked Friends who will wait for the invited Friend at the Party site chosen; as the role is purely cosmetic, the Accompanied Friend can still be used elsewhere in the game while fulfilling this purpose. Secondly, the player selects a Welcome Gift, which determines the type of Friend likeliest to appear; this is not an item the player must have in their Storage, but rather a thematic means of selecting a desired rate increase. Third, the player chooses a Welcome Ceremony, which determines how long the invited Friend will take to arrive as well as the likelihood of that Friend having a higher rarity. Once these selections are made, the player must consume one Letter for a Friend item to begin the countdown, and can either wait for the Friend to arrive- a process taking anywhere from one to nine hours, depending on the chosen Welcome Ceremony- or complete it instantly by consuming an Instant Reply item.
Welcome Gifts
There is an assortment of available Welcome Gifts, which provide different pools of Friends whose appearance rate is increased by the selection of said Welcome Gift.
Welcome Ceremony
There are six types of Welcome Ceremony which can appear in a player's Party menu, each type influencing the odds of summoning a higher rarity Friend. The menu will only ever display four out of the six possible Ceremonies at a time; there are three types of Ceremony which will always be present, and three types which are mutually exclusive, with only one appearing at a given time. These three correlate to the highest-rarity Friends; the rarest two each guarantee a Friend of a particular rarity.
Letter for a Friend & Instant Reply
Use of the Party system requires the player to consume a Letter for a Friend, an item acquired primarily by completing event missions or Daily and Weekly Quests, or through the trading of Radiant Crystals or Friendship in the Shop's Redeem section. The player also has the option to expedite the summoning process by consuming an Instant Reply item, which can be obtained by exchanging Memory Crystals or Friendship in the Redeem Shop or through completion of event missions.
Wait Logs
When an Accompanied Friend is waiting for their new Friend to arrive, they will keep a Wait Log detailing what she is doing to pass the time as well as her reaction to the Friend's arrival. While most Friends share a pool of potential Wait Log entries, some 6-Star Friends have their own unique Wait Log entries which may appear amid the default entries.
