Level Up Your Camp Manager in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
Unlocking all the adorable animals in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp requires consistent effort in raising your Camp Manager level. Reaching level 76 unlocks almost every animal, excluding those tied to Villager Maps. This guide outlines effective strategies for maximizing experience gain and accelerating your progress.
How to Farm Experience
Tips for Leveling Up Quickly
Interacting with animals is key. Each conversation yields +2 friendship points. Complete their requests, chat with them, give gifts, and change their outfits to boost their friendship level, which in turn increases your Camp Manager level. Remember, animals rotate every three hours, bringing new requests and opportunities. Always talk to everyone before the rotation!
Animals at your campsite/cabin remain until dismissed. Warping there during the three-hour cycle reveals visiting animals eager for interaction, providing additional friendship points. The "Tell me a story!" option often leads to gift-giving opportunities, awarding +6 points regardless of the animal's preference.
Crucially, only red dialogue options grant friendship points. Once an option (like "Change outfit!") is selected, it turns to regular text, preventing repeated point gains.
Utilizing Amenities
Constructing amenities provides a simultaneous boost to multiple animals' friendship levels. Animals matching the amenity's type receive enhanced experience. While the animal selection is random, ensure desired animals are at your campsite before construction completes.
Amenities require crafting time, but upgrading them with Bells and materials sustains friendship point generation. Reaching level 4 allows for a final upgrade to level 5, though this involves a 3-4 day construction period.
Optimizing Snack Giving
Snacks are valuable gifts. Matching snack types to animal types maximizes friendship points. For example, give natural-themed snacks (like Plain Waffles) to natural-themed animals for better results.
Gulliver's Ship unlocks Villager Maps, leading to Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats via Blathers's Treasure Trek. Completing a golden/villager island yields 20 Gold Treats. Alternatively, requests and Isles of Style provide these treats. These treats are universally liked, granting +3, +10, and +25 friendship points respectively.
Mastering Animal Requests
Strategic Gift-Giving
Pete's Parcel Service streamlines request completion. Send items en masse to earn points without individual animal interactions. Prioritize higher-value items for bonus rewards and experience (and 1500 Bells!). Consider these options:
- Perfect Fruit (excluding non-local)
- Snow crab
- Splendid alfonsino
- Amberjack
- R. Brooke's birdwing
- Luna moth
- White scarab beetle
Reaching level 10 (or 15 for some animals) unlocks Special Requests, involving crafting specific furniture. These requests are time-consuming (10+ hours) and costly (9000+ Bells + materials), but offer substantial friendship point rewards.
