Unlocking all the animals in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp requires reaching Camp Manager Level 76. Beyond that level, only animals tied to Villager Maps remain. Leveling up becomes increasingly challenging at higher levels, so consistent request completion and maximizing interactions with campsite visitors are crucial for accumulating friendship points. Leveling up also provides valuable Leaf Tokens and inventory space expansion.
Interacting with animals on the map grants +2 friendship points each. These animals always have requests. Completing requests, chatting with animals, gifting items, and changing their outfits all boost friendship levels, which in turn increases your Camp Manager level.
Animals rotate every three hours, bringing new requests. Maximize your points by speaking to every animal before the rotation.
Animals at your campsite/cabin stay until dismissed. Warping there during the three-hour cycle reveals visiting animals eager to chat, providing additional friendship points. Selecting "Tell me a story!" sometimes leads to gifting opportunities, awarding +6 points regardless of the animal's preference.
Remember, friendship points are only earned via red dialogue options. For example, "Change outfit!" only grants points when highlighted in red.
Constructing amenities offers a way to earn friendship points from multiple animals simultaneously. Matching amenity types to animal types maximizes experience gains. While animal selection is random, ensure desired animals are at your campsite before amenity completion.
Amenities require days to build but can be upgraded with Bells and materials for continued friendship point generation. Upgrading a level 4 amenity to max level (level 5) initiates a 3-4 day construction period.
Giving snacks ("Have a snack!" option) boosts friendship. Matching snack types to animal types maximizes points. For instance, a Plain Waffle (natural-themed) yields more points with natural-themed animals like Goldie than with non-natural animals like Agnes.
Gulliver's Ship unlocks Villager Maps from golden islands, redeemable at Blathers's Treasure Trek for Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats. Completing all island souvenirs awards 20 Gold Treats. Alternatively, Requests and Isles of Style provide these treats if all Villager Maps are already obtained. Unlike regular snacks, these treats are universally liked, granting +3, +10, and +25 friendship points respectively.
Pete's Parcel Service allows bulk request completion. Send items (if available) to earn points without direct animal interaction. Most requests involve delivering collected items like fruit or bugs.
Some requests require selecting a single fruit, bug, or fish. While common items are tempting, higher-value gifts offer bonus rewards and experience, plus 1500 Bells. Consider these high-value options:
Reaching level 10 (or 15 for some animals) unlocks Special Requests, requiring crafted furniture (typically costing 9000+ Bells and 10+ hours). While time-consuming, these offer substantial friendship points.
