Level Up Your Camp Manager in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
This guide outlines strategies for quickly leveling up your Camp Manager in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, unlocking more animals and game features. Reaching level 76 unlocks all animals except those tied to Villager Maps.
How to Farm Experience
Tips for Rapid Leveling:
Interacting with animals is key. Each conversation (+2 friendship points) and completed request contributes to both the animal's friendship level and your Camp Manager experience. Changing outfits and giving gifts also provide experience. Remember that friendship points are only awarded for selecting red dialogue options. Each option can only be used once per interaction.
Animals rotate every three hours. Maximize your gains by speaking to all animals before the rotation. Animals at your campsite/cabin remain until dismissed, providing consistent interaction opportunities. Warping to your campsite during the three-hour cycle allows you to interact with visiting animals and potentially earn more friendship points through story prompts and gift-giving. Even disliked gifts yield +6 friendship 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 construction takes time, upgrading amenities (to level 5) provides ongoing friendship point generation. Be aware that max-level upgrades require 3-4 days of construction time.
Strategic Snack Giving:
Giving snacks ("Have a snack!" option) boosts friendship levels. Matching snack types to animal types optimizes points. For example, give natural-themed snacks to natural-themed animals.
Gulliver's Ship unlocks Villager Maps leading to Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats (from Blathers's Treasure Trek or completing requests/Isles of Style). These treats are universally liked and provide +3, +10, and +25 friendship points respectively. Collecting all souvenirs from a golden/villager island yields 20 Gold Treats.
Animal Requests Mastery
Optimizing Gift Selection:
Pete's Parcel Service allows bulk request completion. 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
Completing an animal's Special Request (at level 10 or 15) unlocks furniture, granting significant friendship points, though this requires crafting and significant time investment (9000+ Bells and 10+ hours).
