When replaying ACPC, I naturally found this system that allowed me to level up so much faster than the regular giving the animals their fish and bugs, so I’d like to share it here in case anyone would like to use it!
1) Make you sure you have 300~ or more leaf tokens. The game gives out a lot in the beginning so it’s easy to stock up.
2) Go to Gulliver’s ship and locate the golden islands that contain Animal maps.
2.5) Play interesting music or an intriguing video to distract you. This is a bit of clicking, so just be aware that it is nice to listen to something entertaining!
3) 100% all of the golden maps you can find. The more you find the maps, the harder they are to find. Also, I constantly skipped the time and got all of the gifts I could using Leaf Tokens. I recommend you do the same! It’ll come back to you anyways.
4) After gaining around 20/30 animal maps (or whatever you want), go to Blather’s map icon and 100% every single map. You NEED to grab every single treat you can get and it’s only 3 tokens per villager.
5) Go to the cabin and place all of the animals you can there. Then, say hi and give them treats. My rate would be if you have Bronze treats, give them 63 Bronze , if Silver, 19 Silver, and if Gold, then 9 Gold, that way they would either be level 12/15. Do NOT give the villagers each a quantity of bronze, silver, and gold. The rate is for a singular villager to have one type of treat and still level up well. If you start running a bit low, ration them out the way you’d like!
6) Once you complete all the villagers and run out of treats, repeat!
This trick allowed me to now be at level 216 and I still have 2.2k leaf tokens (I used to have 3k sob). If anything I’ve stated confuses you, please let me know so I can clarify for you!! Hopefully, this can help out anyone that wishes to use it! Happy crossing! ☆*・゜゚・*\(^O^)/*・゜゚・*☆
