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 to efficiently farm experience and accelerate your progress.
How to Farm Experience
Tips for Leveling Up Quickly
Gaining experience revolves around building friendships with animals. Interacting with animals on the map awards +2 friendship points. Completing their requests, chatting, gifting, 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. Maximize interactions before they leave.
- Animals at your campsite/cabin remain until dismissed, providing consistent interaction opportunities. Warping to your campsite during the three-hour cycle allows you to meet visiting animals and earn additional friendship points. The "Tell me a story!" option sometimes leads to gift-giving opportunities, awarding +6 points regardless of the animal's preference.
- Only red dialogue options award friendship points. Options that have already been selected will be in regular text.
Utilizing Amenities
Constructing amenities provides a simultaneous boost to multiple animal friendships. Animals whose types match the amenity receive a larger experience increase. While the animals are randomly selected, ensure desired animals are at your campsite before construction completes.
Amenities require time to build but can be upgraded with Bells and materials for continued friendship point generation. Upgrading to max level (level 5) requires a 3-4 day construction period.
Strategic Snack Giving
Giving snacks ("Have a snack!" option) is another effective method. Matching snack types to animal types maximizes points. For example, give natural-themed snacks like Plain Waffles to natural-themed animals for optimal results.
Gulliver's Ship unlocks Villager Maps leading to Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats from Blathers's Treasure Trek. Completing all island souvenirs yields 20 Gold Treats. Alternatively, requests and Isles of Style provide these treats. These treats are universally liked, awarding +3, +10, and +25 friendship points respectively.
Animal Request Strategies
Maximizing Rewards
Pete's Parcel Service allows bulk request completion. Send items to fulfill requests without direct animal interaction.
Prioritize higher-value items for single-item requests. These often yield bonus rewards and extra experience, plus a 1500 Bell reward. Consider these high-value items:
- Perfect Fruit (excluding non-local)
- Snow crab
- Splendid alfonsino
- Amberjack
- R. Brooke's birdwing
- Luna moth
- White scarab beetle
Completing Special Requests (unlocked at level 10/15) offers significant friendship point gains, despite requiring crafting expensive furniture (9000+ Bells and 10+ hours).
This comprehensive guide equips you with the knowledge to efficiently level up your Camp Manager and unlock all the animals in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Remember consistency is key!
