Pangya General Guide

Q. How come there has been an increase of Tournaments that are doing Shuffle instead of Front?
A.
Shuffle will reward players an extra 20% bonus on their total pang at
the end of the round.  You must complete the course before time is up
to receive your 20% bonus.  You may also combine your Mascot to reach
up to 40%.  This only gives the bonus to your actual pang, not bonus
pang.

Q. Do you receive something from Tournament Awards?
A.
Players will receive items based on how many awards they have
achieved.  Also there has to be a minimum of around 9-10(?) players to
receive items from their awards.  You will receive items like Power
Potion, Spin Mastery, etc.  You may even get lucky and get Astro items
like Duostar Lucky Pangya or Silent Wind.

*This is the list of Clear Bonus pang that you will earn from Season Two.  Now in Season Three, the amount has been doubled*

Q. What if on VS Match, my partner scored a HIO or Albatross.  Will that be recorded on my account or just my partner?
A. Just your partner.

Q. How many times can each player pause the game?
A. Each player has a limit of two pauses for 1 game.
Q. I hate when players quit on the first hole.  If that happens, it will count as game played?

A. As long as you finish the first hole before they leave, it will
count as a full
game.  If your opponent leaves before finishing the first hole, nothing
will count
and you will be sent back into the waiting room.  If your opponent
quits while taking your shot, you will return to the waiting room when
you finish your shot.

Q. How many holes are needed to past through in order to finish up my VS game alone if everyone quits out?
A.
You need to be on the 4th hole to able to play through the whole round
if your party (excluding you) has left.  You will be given an option to
continue with the game alone, or leave the game with the amount of pang
and experience you’ve earned.  If you leave, it will not count as a
quit.
Q.
What if I decided to continue with my VS game alone, but I want to quit
a little later after that.  Will it still count as a quit though?
A.
It won’t count as a quit.  You may leave the game at anytime even after
you were given an option to stay or leave previously.  All of the
earned pang and experience will transfer as well.

Q. What level does my Caddies need to be to follow your ball?
A. Level 3+ (excluding Papel and Black Papel)

Q. What are the difference between  (Cookie Points) Caddies and PP (Pang Points) Caddies?
A.
PP Caddies you have to pay with pang.  Hired PP Caddies will last for
30 real-time days until you decide that you want to hire them again for
another 30 days.  If you do not wish to hire them back, they will be on
vacation and you can hire your them some other time.  Caddies salary
costs less than when you first purchased them.

Cookie Caddies you have to pay with (real money).  Once hired, they are yours to keep forever.  No salaries, no gimmick.

Q. I need an explanation on Caddie’s level on how much experience needed to level up?
A. Level 1 = 0 EXP = Standard
Level 2 = 520 EXP = Talks to you more
Level 3 = 680 EXP = Follow ball & gives more advice
Level 4 = 840 EXP = Continues to follow ball & talks to you until it drives you crazy

Q. Does Papel do anything special when it’s leveled up?
A. Papel follows your ball and does not talk regardless of level.

Q. What’s the highest level caddies can reach?
A. Level 4 is the highest.
Q. How does your Caddie level up?
A.
You’ll gain exp from VS or Tournaments.  Not only you will obtain
experience points for yourself, but your caddie as well if they are
equipped.
Q. Which Caddie skins gives me one full power bar when you begin your first hole?
A. Lola and Quma.

Q. What does Caddie skins do?
A. When buying a caddie skin, the time will be deducted
everyday.  You have a choice of getting the skins for a period of time.

Also, every skin gives a boost on your power guage. This gives a
little more of an advantage to being able to use a power shot early
within the game.  Once your caddie skin runs out, your caddie will be
back to its original way when you first purchased it.

Q.
I’m tired of having to repurchase my caddie skins when it runs out.  Is
there any way where it can last for more than a month?A.  You can buy multiple 30 days worth of skin and they will stack on top of each other.  Try that.

Q. Is Black Papel coming back into the Papel Shop Lotto?

A. Who knows.

Q. I win a rare item for a character.  How do I know which character I won it on?
A. Look at the parenthesis beside the item’s name.  If it displays (A), that means it’s for Arin.

(N) – Nuri
(H) – Hana
(AZ) – Azer
(C) – Cecilia
(M) – Max
(K) – Kooh
(A) – Arin
(KZ) – Kaz
Q.
What if I did the Papel Lotto, and the only Character I have in my
account is Nuri.  Does that mean any won rares will be awarded to
Scout?
A. Any rares won from the lotto
will be given to any of the 8 random characters in the game.  It won’t lower the chances even
if you have two or three Characters in your account.  Sometimes, you
may win a rare item for a Character that you do not own. 

Q. What if I won a rare item for a Character I don’t have?
A.
It will be located on the “Etc” tab under “My Room.”  In order to equip
it, you will need to purchase the Character.  You may also sell the rares if you want.

Q. Can you win more than one of the same item that are listed at the bottom?
A. No.
Q. I heard rumors about lower rank players can win rares easily in the Papel Shop Lotto.  Is that true?
A.
Enough of this.  Sometimes, there are people that wants to spread this
false rumor because everything didn’t go right with that person.

Lottery simply means, “lower chance of winning.”

Q. Can you list all the rares that we’ve seen so far?  Also what does these rare items from Black Papel Shop do?

*Only the rares from the current set can be won in Black Papel Shop.
Q. What if I accidentally hit “close” when I haven’t clicked all the Dolfini balls in the Papel lotto shop?
A. You will have a pop-up menu showing what was contained in the Dolfini balls and those items will transfer to your account.
Q. Why do I see this Red Papel popping up in the Papel Lotto shop?
A. If you see Red Papel, you have a chance of winning a rare item.

If the Dolfini ball selects Red Papel, it will turn white.  That means you have won a rare item.

Q. If I see Red Papel, does that mean I win a rare item with 100% success rate?
A. Sadly, no.

Q. How come I didn’t win 100 Pang Mastery in Black Papel Shop?  I only got just a handful of them in my account.
A.
You can only obtain around 1-3 of that particular item (except rares,
but that
would be nice).  Meaning you could obtain 2 Power Potions, 3 Pang
Mastery, 2 Duostar Nerve Stabilizer, 1 Silent Wind, or 2 Love Love
Phoenix.  Look closely at the numbers on each item you win and it’ll
show how many you won.  If the number is not present, you only won 1.

Q. I accidentally clicked on Black Papel multiple times and lost quite a bit of pang.  How does this happen and how can I prevent it?
A.
Be sure to click Black Papel only once.  Sometimes the server will lock
up for a few seconds.  If that’s the case, do not risk and click Black
Papel again.  Instead, wait a few seconds or click on the Total tab on
the bottom right corner.  That usually works for me and causes your
connection to wake up and then Black Papel will go through.  Right now, I do not know if they’ve fixed this bug yet.

Q. What is that red number next to the 50 limit play per day?
A. That red number is Bonus turns.  For every 30 minutes played, you will receive 10 bonus turns.  The limit is up to 50 extra turns per day.  You will still have to pay 500 pang for the bonus turns.

Q. How come Kaz doesn’t have Black Papel rare Set ranged from 1-3?
A.
That’s because Kaz came out way later on Albatross18 when we still had
the lotto system implemented.  Kaz came out at the same time when Black
Papel Set changed to the 4th set.

Q. Can you list the rares and also explain what the E-Card rares do?

*Only the rares from the current set can be won in Mr. eCard.

Q. Sometimes when I’m about to start scratching, it freezes.  Does it use up my ticket?!
A.
The only thing I’ve tried was logging out and then log back in.  Then
it worked fine for me.  Give it a shot.  Maybe there’s another way to
remedy that problem, but this is the only one I know so far.  And no,
it won’t take away your ticket if it freezes on you.

Q. Can you sell eCard Rares in PSquare?
A. No

Q. What are the stuff that you can earn in Mr. eCard?
A. By using 1 eCard ticket, you may win one of the following:

• 2-3x Replay Tapes
• 2-3x Silent Winds
• 2-3x Duostar Lucky Pangya
• 2-3x Duostar Nerve Stabilizer
• 2-3x Power Calipers
• 2-3x Mulligan Rose
• 1x eCard Rare (lower chance to obtain than the list above)

Q. Can you earn more than 1 of the same eCard rare?
A. No. 

Q.
What if a new rare was introduced in the eCard lotto system and I still
have some leftover eCard tickets with me.  Will I be eligible to win
the new or the old rares?A. You can only obtain the rares from the new & current set even if
you have several eCards left overs for a long time.  The current rares
that are in the eCard lotto system is what counts the most, not the
date of purchase of those tickets.  This method is the same as Papel
Coupons and Black Papel Shop.

Q. How can I see how many eCard tickets that are available in my account?
A. Here or here.

Q. Are all eCard rares are going to be clubsets only?
A. No.  There will be some surprises later on.

Q. What does Pangya mean?
A. Pangya is an onomatopoeia word for, “BANG!” in Korea.

Q. What are some important terminology that are used in this game?
A.  BI – “Beam impact”
BS – “Backspin”
D/C – “Disconnect”
Dunk – When the phoenix ball goes straight into the cup without any bounce
GL – “Good luck”
HF – “Have Fun”
GG – “Good game.”
NP – “Nice putt.”
NS – “Nice shot”
NT – “Nice try”
HIO – “Hole-in-One.”
Nike – Whenever the ball rolls toward the cups and lips the edge that appears somewhat similar to a Nike swoosh.
PPIC – Failed to hit Pangya
Tailwind – Wind direction blowing forward from your positionFacewind/Headwind – Wind direction blowing toward you from your position
Break Points – The black lines on your ball slope.
Q.
So you get an extra bonus pang for each bounce with the Water Phoenix.

So what’s the maximum that you can get from the bounce bonus?
A. 20 bounce = 20 pangs.  It won’t go any further than that.

Q. Silvia Cannon does not replay my shots during VS mode. Why?
A. Not sure. It may be part of not disrupting the cannon fires pattern.  You may use replay tapes to replay your shot if needed.

Q. I’m a Beginner D with Scout. If I purchase Arin, will she be Rookie F?
A. Your rank is determined by you the player. Characters are not handled like Final Fantasy games.

Q. Is there a way to make a homemade Papel for myself?
A. Click here.  No instruction is needed, it’s self-explanatory.
Q. I heard this weird unusual Pangya SoundFX coming from a player that is equipped with a giant afro.
A.
When having the Afro equipped, the Pangya sound is different.  There
are 4 different sounds coming from the item.  The item is currently not
on sale at this time.  To
hear what all 4 of them sounds like, click here.

Q. How come I cannot choose my first character?
A. You start off with either Scout (M) or Hana (F).  If your chosen gender is male, you have Scout, and etc.

Q. I received Necklace of Good Fortune.  What does that do?
A.
The necklace is given to all players who starts out as Rookie F.  The
item only takes effect if you remain a “Rookie” level and gives you
maximum Accuracy stats.  Once you past that level, the item loses its
effect.
Q. How does bad weather occur and what does it do?
A.
Bad weather will occur randomly. When the sky darkens, that means it’s
a sign of bad weather that will appear on the next hole. Once bad
weather starts, you will notice that Ground Property is 98% instead of
100%. Meaning the ball will travel & roll just a little less.
Remember to putt with more strength as well. Recovery Bonus will also
appear as well to multiply your earned pang by 2x on that hole. It will
last for only one hole, then weather will return normal.

Q. What is Recovery Bonus?
A.
Recovery Bonus only shows up in bad weather (rain/heavy snow). Every
shot and putt will display Recovery Bonus x2 on the screen. What pang
you earn in that hole will be multiplied by double, just like a freebie
Pang Mastery.

Q. What happens if I purchase a Character package, but I already own the character?
A.
You will receive the clothing set as normal. Then you will be rewarded
pangs based on how much that character is worth alone.  If you
already have Kooh, and you purchase the Fox outfit Character Package, you
will receive the items, plus 29,000 pangs since you already have Kooh
and that’s how much she cost in pangs.

Q. What happens if I gift a Character to someone that might already have it?
A. The message will say that they currently own the character, and it cannot be sent.

Q.
What happens if I gift someone a character set. If they already own the
character, will they receive both the outfit set and the bonus pangs?
A.
You would think they will receive bonus pangs because they already own the
character. Sadly, the answer is no. They will just receive the outfit
set with no bonus pang. The only way to obtain the bonus is to purchase the
character set yourself.
Q.
What happens if someone gifts two Pang Masteries to me?  Would both of
them be combined together in my gift section or separated?
A.
No it separates them.  Just like if the GMs are awarding 10 free
phoenixes per day, it will not stack on top of each other.  Abuse this trick by releasing one at a time, and not
claim everything just yet.

Q. How can you change your Username?
A.
You can’t. However, you can change your nickname by paying 15 Astros.

Just remember that once you change your nickname, you’ll still need to
use your primary Username to login the game.
Q. Can I use multicolor text in the A18 game?
A.
You are not allowed to use colored text. Using colored text is a
bannable offense. I wouldn’t try or even attempt doing it.  If you see
someone doing it, be sure to report them right away.  If you see
someone name Supportxxx typing in blue text, don’t report.  You
wouldn’t want to report a GM would you?

Q. If I get disconnected, do I get the pangs I’ve earned in that round or is that gone?
A. Sadly, you won’t get any pangs.  However, if you made a HIO or Alba, it’ll will count in your account.

Q. How many levels are there and how much experience is needed to level up?
A.


Q. How does Game Combo work?
A.
+1 Game Combo if completed the round successfully.
-3 Game Combo if you quit, disconnected, time out, or booted from multiple of give ups.

Let’s pretend you have a clean Game Combo stat of 0/0.

1a) Played 7 games and completed the whole round.
1b) 7/7 Game Combo

2a) You got disconnected or decided to quit.
2b) 4/7 Game Combo

3a) You decided to play 1 Tournament Round and finished
3b) 5/7 Game Combo

4a) You got disconnected again.
4b) 2/7 Game Combo

5a) Now you decided to do a 3 hole game to bring your combo back up.  You played 6 VS games.
5b) 8/8 Game Combo
Q. What is the maximum number of friends you can have on your buddy list?
A. 50

Q. Will my putting rate % lower if I putt outside of the green?
A.
It will.  I have already tested it.  If you want to move your ball to a
certain location for better ball slope, it would be best to use a
wedge.  That way, you will hit an easy pangya, increase your powerguage
a bit, and not lowering your putting rate.

Q. What items does not increase your powerguage bar when making the shot?
A. Generic Lucky Pangya, Duostar Lucky Pangya, Duostar PS, Duostar LS and Strength Boost.

Q. How can I make the ball skip on the water?
A.
Add forward spin on your ball and then hit Pangya for PowerSpin.  It
will work on any clubs.  Remember, you can let the ball roll into the
water instead of hitting the water on the first bounce and it’ll still
skip the ball, but in very low elevation.  You can also do Cobra +
Frontspin to skip the ball as well. 

Q. Sometimes in the game, I see “Nice Recovery” on screen.  What does it mean and how does it work?
A. Nice Recovery is caused by a power spin shot being done on
Rough/Sand/O.B./Ice.  Getting Nice Recovery is only given if
that spin manages to go out of the mentioned area and stop on some part
of the fairway or green.

It is also more likely that
you will have a chance to get this bonus if you have very high spin or
use a spin mastery.  Nice Recovery isn’t something that you can gain commonly.

If
you have succeeded in getting Nice Recovery, you will be awarded with
minimum pang as a bonus.  If you spin off from Rough, Ice, or Sand, you
will get 10 pang.  If spins off from OB, you get 15 pang.
