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 Rapid Level Progression
Interacting with animals on the map grants +2 friendship points. Complete their requests, chat with them, give gifts, and change their outfits to boost their friendship levels. Each animal level-up contributes to your Camp Manager experience.
Animals rotate every three hours, bringing new requests. Maximize your interactions before the rotation. Animals at your campsite/cabin remain until dismissed, providing consistent interaction opportunities. Warping to your campsite during the three-hour cycle reveals visiting animals, offering additional friendship points. The "Tell me a story!" option sometimes leads to gift-giving opportunities, awarding +6 points regardless of the animal's preference.
Remember, only red dialogue options yield friendship points. An option turns grey after selection, preventing repeated point gains from the same action.
Amenities
Construct amenities to earn friendship points from multiple animals simultaneously. Animals matching the amenity type gain bonus experience. While the animal selection is random, strategically place animals at your campsite before amenity completion to maximize benefits.
Amenities require time to build, but leveling them up with Bells and materials provides ongoing friendship point generation. Level 4 amenities can be upgraded to max level (5), but this involves a 3-4 day construction period.
Snack Strategies
Giving snacks ("Have a snack!" option) boosts friendship levels. Matching snack types to animal types maximizes point gains. 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 via Blathers's Treasure Trek. Completing a golden/villager island yields 20 Gold Treats. Alternatively, obtain treats through requests or Isles of Style. These treats are universally liked, providing +3, +10, and +25 friendship points respectively.
Animal Request Optimization
Gift Selection
Pete's Parcel Service allows bulk request completion. Send items to fulfill requests without direct animal interaction. Prioritize higher-value items for bonus rewards and experience; rarer items also yield 1500 Bells. Consider these high-value gift 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 for some) Special Request unlocks furniture requiring crafting. These requests are time-consuming (10+ hours) and expensive (9000+ Bells + materials), but yield substantial friendship points.
