Unlocking all the animals in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp requires reaching a high Camp Manager level (level 76 unlocks all but Villager Map animals). Leveling up becomes increasingly challenging, so maximizing friendship points is key. This guide outlines strategies for efficient experience farming, including tips for leveling up quickly, utilizing amenities, optimizing snack gifting, and mastering animal requests. Leveling up also provides Leaf Tokens and inventory expansion.
Interacting with animals on the map yields +2 friendship points. Complete their requests, chat with them, give gifts, and change their outfits to boost their friendship level, which in turn increases your Camp Manager level. Animals rotate every three hours, bringing new requests. Maximize your interactions before the rotation.
Animals at your campsite/cabin remain until dismissed. Visiting your campsite during the three-hour cycle allows you to interact with visiting animals for additional friendship points. The "Tell me a story!" option sometimes offers gift-giving opportunities (+6 points regardless of the animal's preference).
Remember, only red dialogue options award friendship points. Options that are no longer highlighted in red have already been used for that interaction.
Constructing amenities provides a simultaneous friendship boost for multiple animals. Animals matching the amenity's type receive a larger experience gain. While animal selection is random, ensure desired animals are at your campsite before amenity completion.
Amenities require crafting time, but can be upgraded with Bells and materials for continued friendship point generation. Upgrading a level 4 amenity to max level (level 5) requires 3-4 days of construction time.
Gifting snacks ("Have a snack!" option) provides friendship points. Matching snack and animal types maximizes points. For example, give natural-themed snacks (like Plain Waffles) to natural-themed animals (like Goldie).
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 these treats through requests or Isles of Style. These treats are universally liked, granting +3, +10, and +25 friendship points respectively.
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 (and 1500 Bells). Consider these high-value options:
Completing an animal's level 10 (or 15 for some) Special Request unlocks furniture requiring crafting. These requests are time-consuming (10+ hours crafting time, 9000+ Bells cost) but provide substantial friendship points.
