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 Quickly
Maximize Friendship Points: Interacting with animals is key. Each conversation yields +2 friendship points. Complete their requests, chat, give gifts, and change their outfits to boost friendship levels. Leveling up an animal's friendship grants you Camp Manager experience.
Time Management: Animals rotate every three hours. Speak to each before the rotation for maximum points. Visiting your campsite/cabin during this cycle allows you to interact with visiting animals. Selecting "Tell me a story!" often leads to gift-giving opportunities (+6 points even with disliked gifts).
Strategic Dialogue: Focus on red dialogue options for friendship points. Options revert to regular text after use, preventing repeated point gains from the same action.
Utilizing Amenities
Construct and upgrade amenities to earn friendship points from multiple animals simultaneously. Matching amenity types to animal types maximizes experience gains. Position desired animals at your campsite before amenity completion. While amenities take time to build, upgrading them (to level 5) provides ongoing point generation, though this requires a considerable construction period (3-4 days).
The Power of Snacks
Giving snacks ("Have a snack!") boosts friendship. Matching snack types to animal types maximizes points. For example, give natural-themed snacks to natural-themed animals.
High-Value Treats: Gulliver's Ship unlocks Villager Maps, leading to Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats via Blathers's Treasure Trek. These treats provide consistent point gains regardless of animal type (+3, +10, and +25 points respectively). Alternatively, complete requests or Isles of Style for these treats.
Mastering Animal Requests
Bulk Requests: Pete's Parcel Service allows bulk request completion, saving time and effort.
Strategic Gifting: For single-item requests, prioritize higher-value items for bonus rewards and experience (and 1500 Bells!). Consider these options:
- Perfect Fruit (excluding non-local)
- Snow crab
- Splendid alfonsino
- Amberjack
- R. Brooke's birdwing
- Luna moth
- White scarab beetle
Special Requests: Once an animal reaches level 10 (or 15 for some), complete their Special Request for significant friendship point gains. Be prepared for crafting time and cost (9000+ Bells and 10+ hours).
