Taretha, Mayor Of Playtown

save your leaf tickets. i cannot stress this enough. right now your items will all be ready in less than an hour, but when you’re at level 40, stuff takes like 3 days to make 

also, materials get harder and harder to come by so frequently you’ll need to use leaf tickets to keep the ball rolling. also being able to buy campers/tom nook/kk is worth more than speeding things up

know which villagers give what. some villagers, like apollo in my camp at least for example, give paper more frequently than others, while some give, say, conserves. paper is incredibly valuable as you need 150 to make just one wallpaper

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RUGS AND FLOORS. FLOORS CANNOT BE USED AT YOUR CAMPSITE, ONLY IN YOUR CAMPER. DON’T BE LIKE ME AND WASTE 150 PAPER ON A FLOOR YOU CAN’T USE OH GOD

shake all the non-fruit trees every day! one will drop up to 1000 bells each day, and you’ll need the money you can get

put loads of stuff up in your market box, for cheap. it seems useless right now, but as your level gets higher and it gets harder and harder to respawn items, people will come and buy from you and you can get a good income

help your friends with the quarry; its nice and you get money rewards

ask everyone on your friends list to help you with the quarry EARLY. chances are you’ll miss the haul you need if you wait

even if you dont want it, make a nintendo account and get the free dosh. every leaf ticket helps, plus you get cool stuff too and a steady income to boot

objects respawn offscreen. if you need a specific bug, scare away all the bugs or catch them (recommended) and then wait in the corner for a bit. rinse and repeat

always shake your trees and just leave the fruit it doesnt rot and you’ll need more than they give you anyway (this is why the marketplace gets so useful)

add loads of people! this helps you get into the quarry, get ideas for your camp, and gives you access to loads of market boxes for when you need them. which you will.

you can expand your van…for loans. sell stuff on market boxes, or just straight up sell rare items for cheap, to pay it off

always leave kudos at someones camp when they leave one at yours; its good manners and they’ll have your back later

don’t waste materials on things you dont need; especially, don’t waste the material corresponding to your theme (cool uses a lot of metal, natural uses a lot of wood, etc.)

always have something on the go crafting, and its a worthy investment to get a second slot for crafting too

save your honey and nets for when you’re really stressed out

change up your look often and visit the able sisters constantly; they only have a few items up at the start but as you level up they have more, and cooler stuff

try and complete all your requests, and especially try and complete your stretch goals! they’re a really good way to get free stuff, so do yourself a favour and make the polka dot set and the green set; theyre cheap you only need 4 of each. just put them in your campground once at the same time and you’ll get 20 tickets, then sell them or whatever

use your request tickets wisely. specifically, use them on your lowest-level villagers. they level up faster, meaning you level up faster

at some point, get all the tents, even the ones you dont like. animals will eventually stop levelling up if you dont have their respective tent, and you will need their love. literally.

change up your look! don’t try and limit yourself to one theme - this game is a lot more fun when you look at others and try and put your own mark on the game.

“Here’s an info-graph outlining what each villager can provide for your campsite along w/ cool-down timer & reset info”

I’m loving Animal Crossing Pocket Camp!! To celebrate I created the same phone you have in-game! 😊

There are 2 maps with fruit!

Breezy Hollow has 1 of each (Apples, Oranges, Cherries, Peaches, and Pears)

Lost Lure Creek has 2 and they are random, I restarted a few times and got Pears and Oranges, Apples and Oranges, and Peaches and Cherries. If you care about what extra fruit you have you’ll have to download the entire game AND complete the tutorial before you know what you have.

Also fruit related. This has been said a lot and will be mentioned on social media in the days to come- You have limited pocket space, shake fruit from the trees but don’t pick it up till you need it~ that way you’ll normally have enough for requests without sacrificing pocket space!

Non fruit trees drop 300~400 coins once per day at random!

Campers (Villagers?) are mostly random. You unlock new ones each time you level up. I think it’s based on your starting Camp theme. I choose cute and had Chrissy by 12? And Fauna by 19. Someone I know choose Cool and didn’t have Fauna till 26!

Talk to your campers every few hours! 3 of 8 can have requests and all of them can give you presents and gain a few points of affection!

Affection is capped at first at 7! You must build amenities to increase the cap. Tents take 14 hours and raise the cap to 10, others take it to 15 and then 20. These take a long time to build, 14 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, etc.

Here’s a template for you all to create and design your own hoodies! 

1 - Main color (lightest color you’ll use) 2 - Darker shade of 1 3 - Darker shade of 2 4 - Darker shade of 3 (darkest color you’ll use) 

Drawstrings 5 - 3rd shade of white 6 - 5th shade of white 7 - 6th shade of white 

Hey this game is coming out this month so as someone who was impatient and got it early here’s a few tips for when you start playing!

First and foremost, SAVE YOUR LEAF TICKETS. They are incredibly precious and I made the huge mistake of spending all of mine early on. The only thing I would recommend buying with them right away is an extra crafting slot.

-Don’t waste them on crafting things that only take 3 minutes. I’m at a point where some of the crafting takes several days, trust me, you can wait a few minutes.

-don’t use them to buy honey or fish nets. They are just absolutely not worth the amount of tickets they cost. If you’re looking for a rare bug or fish you will most likely find it if you just look around for a while. I generally leave an area and come back until I find what I’m looking for.

-don’t use them on the quarry. just don’t. not worth it and you can use the quarry by requesting that friends help you.

-you are probably fine using them on calling cards or request tickets though because these things will help you complete more villager requests which help you level up and gain back tickets anyway.

-save your tickets for things like special furniture (some furniture gives you characters like KK and Tom nook) or special paint for your RV. These things cost a shitton of tickets and you will never save up enough if you spend them on other things.

Next, bells aren’t as important so you can be a lot more lax with them but you should still try to be smart with them.

-remember that you can craft stuff any time you want, but things like specific clothes and furniture from nooklings are only going to be available at certain times. You don’t want to go shopping and find a shirt you love only to find that you’re out of bells. I usually try to have at least 3000 bells on me at all times just in case.

-don’t try to repay your ok motors loans all at once, the expansions don’t really even give you that much more room so it’s better to just hang on to your bells until you have a whole lot to spend.

-if you need to, sell your extra request items as cheaply as possible in your market box. They’ll most likely sell quickly and you’ll still get more money than just instant selling them. don’t try to sell them for more than the cheapest amount or no one will buy them.

-don’t list extremely rare fish or bugs in your market box, they will not sell (way too expensive for something you don’t need often) and you can’t get them back. hold on to them or instant sell them for fast cash.

And here are some misc things…

-do not sell your crafting materials. It is not worth it to sell them and you will be mad and frustrated when you go to make an amenity and don’t have enough materials. Only sell your materials if you don’t have space for them.

-Try to keep your request items stocked up. It makes it much easier to complete requests quickly. I try to keep at least 5 of each fish, bug, etc. on me just in case.

-make as many friends as possible! add people who are hanging out at campsites or look around on tumblr for people who have posted their friend ids! unfortunately you can’t actually play with them but they can help you with the quarry and timed goals and buy stuff in your market box.

-make sure to talk to the animals at your campsite often, they “refresh” (become able to level up friendship and give you items) more often than other campers

and last but not least, very important:
