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

Gaining experience hinges on boosting animal friendship levels. Interacting with animals (+2 friendship points), fulfilling their requests, gifting items, and changing their outfits all contribute. Each animal level-up grants you Camp Manager experience.

Animals rotate every three hours, bringing new requests. Maximize your interactions before the rotation. Animals at your campsite/cabin stay until dismissed, providing consistent interaction opportunities. Visiting your campsite during the three-hour cycle allows you to speak with visiting animals and farm additional friendship points. The "Tell me a story!" option often leads to gift-giving opportunities (+6 friendship points, even with disliked gifts).

Remember, only red dialogue options yield friendship points. Once an option is used, it resets, preventing repeated point gains.

Amenities

Constructing amenities provides a simultaneous friendship boost for multiple animals. Matching animal and amenity types maximizes experience gains. While amenity construction takes time, upgrading them with Bells and materials ensures continuous friendship point generation. Level 4 amenities can be upgraded to max level (level 5), but this involves a 3-4 day construction period.

Giving Snacks

Gifting snacks ("Have a snack!") boosts friendship points. Matching snack and animal types maximizes the effect. For example, give natural-themed snacks like Plain Waffles to natural-themed animals.

Gulliver's Ship unlocks Villager Maps leading to Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats from 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.

Animal Requests Tips

Optimizing Gift Selection

Pete's Parcel Service allows bulk request completion. Send items to fulfill requests without direct animal interaction. For single-item requests, prioritize higher-value items for bonus rewards and extra experience (and 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

Completing an animal's level 10 (or 15) Special Request unlocks and requires crafting furniture, a time-consuming but rewarding way to earn significant friendship points.
