Level Up Fast in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

by Ethan Feb 19,2025

This guide provides strategies for quickly leveling up your Camp Manager in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Reaching level 76 unlocks all animals except those tied to Villager Maps. Leveling efficiently becomes crucial at higher levels.

How to Farm Experience

Tips for Rapid Leveling:

Interacting with animals on the map yields +2 friendship points. Complete their requests, chat with them, give gifts, and change their outfits to boost friendship levels, 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 reveals visiting animals, offering additional friendship point opportunities. The "Tell me a story!" option sometimes leads to gift-giving, providing +6 points regardless of the animal's preference.

Remember, only red dialogue options grant friendship points. Once an option is selected, it will become inactive until the next interaction.

Amenities:

Construct amenities to earn friendship points from multiple animals simultaneously. Animals of matching types gain more experience. Position desired animals at your campsite before amenity completion. Amenities require days to build but can be upgraded with Bells and materials for continued friendship point generation. Level 4 amenities can be upgraded to max level (level 5), but this requires another 3-4 days of construction.

Giving Snacks:

Match snack types to animal types for maximum friendship point gains. For example, give natural-themed snacks to natural-themed animals.

Gulliver's Ship unlocks Villager Maps leading to Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats via Blathers's Treasure Trek. Completing all island souvenirs yields 20 Gold Treats. Alternatively, obtain treats through Requests or Isles of Style. These treats are universally liked, granting +3, +10, and +25 friendship points respectively.

Animal Requests Tips

Optimal Gift Selection:

Pete's Parcel Service allows bulk request completion. Prioritize higher-value items for bonus rewards and experience (1500 Bells for rarer items). Consider these options:

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

Once an animal reaches level 10 (or 15 for some), complete their Special Request. This involves crafting furniture (often costing 9000+ Bells and taking 10+ hours), but yields significant friendship points.
