Level Up Your Camp Manager in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
Unlocking all the adorable animals in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp requires diligent leveling up of your Camp Manager. Reaching level 76 unlocks almost every animal, excluding those tied to Villager Maps. However, leveling becomes increasingly challenging at higher levels. This guide provides strategies to efficiently farm experience and accelerate your progress.
How to Farm Experience
Tips for Leveling Up Quickly
Interacting with animals on the map yields +2 friendship points. These animals always have requests. Completing requests, chatting with animals, gifting items, and changing their outfits all contribute to their friendship level, which in turn boosts your Camp Manager level. Remember, animals rotate every three hours, bringing new requests and opportunities. Always speak to every animal before the rotation.
Animals at your campsite/cabin remain until dismissed. Warping to your campsite during the three-hour cycle reveals visiting animals eager to chat, providing additional friendship points. Selecting "Tell me a story!" sometimes leads to gifting opportunities, awarding +6 friendship points regardless of the animal's preference.
Crucially, only red dialogue options grant friendship points. For instance, "Change outfit!" only yields points when highlighted in red.
Amenities
Constructing amenities provides a simultaneous boost to multiple animals' friendship levels. Animals matching the amenity's type receive greater experience. While animal selection is random, strategically placing animals at your campsite before amenity completion maximizes benefits.
While amenities take days to build, upgrading them with Bells and materials extends their friendship point generation. Upgrading a level 4 amenity to max level (level 5) requires another 3-4 days of construction.
Giving Snacks
Gifting snacks ("Have a snack!") boosts friendship levels. Matching snack and animal types maximizes points. For example, a Plain Waffle (natural theme) 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. Completing a golden/villager island yields 20 Gold Treats. Alternatively, Requests and Isles of Style provide Treats if all Villager Maps are already obtained. These Treats are universally liked, granting +3, +10, and +25 friendship points, respectively.
Animal Requests Tips
Optimizing Gift Selection
Pete's Parcel Service allows bulk request completion. Send items (fruit, bugs, etc.) to earn friendship points without direct animal interaction.
Individual requests offer item selection. While using common items is tempting, higher-value items provide bonus rewards and experience, plus 1500 Bells. Consider these high-value 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, requiring crafted furniture (often costing 9000+ Bells and 10+ hours to craft). These requests are time-consuming but yield significant friendship points.
