Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Guides

How to Easily Get Cotton, Steel, Wood, Preserves, Paper

There are five primary types of crafting materials in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp you need to craft new furniture and some can be harder to find than others!

Getting crafting materials in Pocket Camp is pretty simple, you just need to complete requests for your campers at the main four locations around the map. However if you need one or two particular crafting materials, like Cotton, there’s a much better way!

Every camper in Pocket Camp has their own pre-set primary crafting material that you will always receive from them, so you want to try and match the villagers you do requests for with the materials you need most. A higher friendship level with a camper will increase their rewards too, so focus on your highest level villagers.

Another way to get any of the five basic crafting materials in Pocket Camp is to connect your game to a Nintendo Account and make use of the free My Nintendo service. By completing simple missions for coins in My Nintendo, you can redeem those coins for 20 free Cotton, Steel, Wood, Preserves, Paper, or even some Bells. Check out our guide here on how to do this!

If you’ll be doing requests for campers to get crafting materials though, just follow our handy lists below including every villager in Pocket Camp to find out which campers you should be helping for the material you need! (Last updated on August 13th, 2019)

By the way, you can use a Calling Card item to summon a specific villager to your map if none of the villagers you need for a specific material are currently available! You probably already have a bunch of these sitting unused in your inventory, so don’t be afraid to finally make use of them.

How to Get Friend Powder and Sparkle Stones

If you’re looking for some of the other more advanced materials in Pocket Camp, we have you covered too.

Friend Powder is used to craft some furniture items, as well as for playing the Brake Tapper game and completing some Blather’s Treasure Trek maps. You can easily get it by helping your friends enter the Shovelstrike Quarry and sharing rare creatures in gardening events, among other ways. Read our complete How to Get Friend Powder Guide here for more.

Sparkle Stones are mainly used to craft a camper’s special friendship reward furniture, although it used in a few other places too. These stones can be quite hard to come by sometimes, but you’ll usually get a couple as milestone rewards for leveling up a villager. They’re also frequently given out as a reward in most of Pocket Camp’s events so look out for them there too.
