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 provides strategies for efficient experience farming.
How to Farm Experience
Tips for Leveling Up Quickly
Interacting with animals is key. Each conversation yields +2 friendship points. Complete their requests, chat, give gifts, and change their outfits to boost their friendship levels, which in turn increases your Camp Manager level. Animals rotate every three hours, bringing new requests and opportunities. Always talk to every animal before the rotation.
Animals at your campsite/cabin stay until dismissed. Warping there during the three-hour cycle reveals visiting animals, providing extra friendship point opportunities. The "Tell me a story!" option sometimes leads to gifting opportunities, awarding +6 points regardless of the animal's preference.
Remember, only red dialogue options grant friendship points. Once an option is used, it resets, preventing repeat point gains.
Utilizing Amenities
Constructing amenities provides a simultaneous friendship point boost for multiple animals. Matching animal types to amenity types maximizes experience gains. Ensure desired animals are at your campsite before amenity completion. Amenities require time to build but can be upgraded with Bells and materials for ongoing point generation. Level 4 amenities can be upgraded to max level (level 5), but this involves a 3-4 day construction period.
The Power of Snacks
Giving snacks ("Have a snack!" option) offers another avenue for experience. Matching snack types to animal types maximizes points. For instance, a Plain Waffle (natural-themed) works best with natural-themed animals like Goldie.
Gulliver's Ship unlocks Villager Maps from golden islands, redeemable at Blathers's Treasure Trek for Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats. These treats are universally liked, granting +3, +10, and +25 friendship points respectively. Alternatively, complete Requests or Isles of Style for these treats.
Animal Requests: Optimization Strategies
Maximizing Request Rewards
Pete's Parcel Service allows bulk request completion. Send items efficiently without individual animal interactions. Prioritize higher-value items for bonus rewards and experience (1500 Bells for rarer items). 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) unlocks Special Requests, requiring crafted furniture (often costing 9000+ Bells and 10+ hours). While time-consuming, these requests yield significant friendship points.
