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.

Tips for Rapid Leveling

Leveling up hinges on maximizing friendship points. Here's how:

  • Interact Regularly: Talking to animals (+2 friendship points each) and completing their requests are crucial. Changing outfits and giving gifts also contribute to experience. Animal level-ups directly boost your Camp Manager level.
  • Time Management: Animals rotate every three hours. Speak to each animal before the rotation for maximum points.
  • Campsite Visits: Animals at your campsite/cabin stay put. Warping there during the three-hour cycle allows you to interact with visiting animals, earning additional friendship points. The "Tell me a story!" option often leads to gift-giving opportunities (+6 points, even if the animal dislikes the gift).
  • Strategic Dialogue: Focus on red-highlighted dialogue options for friendship point rewards. Repeatedly selecting the same option yields no further points.

Utilizing Amenities

Constructing and upgrading amenities provides a simultaneous boost to multiple animals' friendship levels. Matching amenity types to animal types maximizes experience gains. Ensure desired animals are at your campsite before amenity completion. While amenities take time to build, upgrading them (to max level 5) provides ongoing friendship point generation. Note that max-level upgrades require 3-4 days of construction.

Optimizing Snack Giving

Giving snacks ("Have a snack!" option) provides experience. Matching snack types to animal types maximizes points. For example, give natural-themed snacks to natural-themed animals.

Gulliver's Ship offers access to Villager Maps, which, when used at Blathers's Treasure Trek, yield Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats. These treats are universally liked and provide +3, +10, and +25 friendship points respectively. Completing all island tasks yields 20 Gold Treats. Alternatively, you can obtain these treats through requests or Isles of Style.

Animal Request Strategies

Choosing the Right Gifts

Pete's Parcel Service allows bulk request completion. However, for individual requests, consider higher-value items for bonus rewards and experience (and 1500 Bells!). Recommended items include:

  • Perfect Fruit (excluding non-local)
  • Snow crab
  • Splendid alfonsino
  • Amberjack
  • R. Brooke's birdwing
  • Luna moth
  • White scarab beetle

Completing an animal's Special Request (at level 10 or 15) unlocks furniture crafting, offering substantial friendship points, although it's a more time-consuming process (9000+ Bells and 10+ hours).
