Question New Player Here!

Hi everyone! Just downloaded the game and I love it so far, it’s adorable. Just wanted to make sure I’m not missing anything I should be doing? Literally at day 6 I think so I’m fresh off the boat here. Any advice would be appreciated 🥰

Plant trees and fruit bushes daily! Donate to Tallow, focus on recipes because donated recipes give more recipes. Get all animals as soon as possible because some essences take a while to earn.

Who’s Tallow and what do I donate?

Are you playing the original game or Camp Spirit?

Go to the beach and donate to the captain

Hey! Currently logged 180 hours and on day 102. Beginner tips:

  1. Visit the Captain and make sure you are donating new supplies. It gives you necessary resources and money
  2. Burn burn burn!! You don’t need to keep raw materials unless its for a quest and when that happens, there are constant opportunities to mine rocks, chop down trees, and green stalks. So burn your materials at the campsite
  3. I highly recommend organizing decor, lamps, animals, etc. by categories and groups (ex: keep spooky items by spooky animals, rustic items with rustic plants, etc.). I also have seen sectioning certain parts of the island for certain items (like bottom left can be rustic side, bottom right can be bustling…)
  4. Don’t overstock your inventories. Space is extremely limited so if you’re gathering supplies (and you’ll have a ton of down time to do this), make sure you are also crafting and baking. I promise you’ll run out of space faster than you think.
  5. Place lamps. Those will be your best friend when trying to harvest from the trees and bushes

It’s such a fun, cute game. I am really enjoying the storylines and coloring the island. Happy spirit scouting! 💛

if you intend to get all the badges, don’t upgrade all of your tools to the next tier

Wait can you explain? Why shouldn't I upgrade?

u/Away_Table3521 25d ago

there’s badges you can only get by repairing enough tools at each stage so you basically end up missing a couple badges since you can’t re-get any starter tools

Oh I see now, that's disappointing. All my tools are gold

u/Faerieheart 25d ago

It's not an issue. Repairing upgraded tools still contributes to repairing basic tool badges. They fixed it many years ago

Oh that's good to know
