Unlocking the Afternoon-Tea Set in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

This guide details how to obtain the Afternoon-Tea Set crafting recipe in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. This special request item is not immediately available; it requires reaching a specific friendship level with a particular animal villager.

Unlocking Sandy

First, you need to unlock Sandy. This typically occurs between levels 20 and 29. You unlock two animals per level in this range, so the exact level varies. Once unlocked, interact with Sandy frequently, complete her requests, and aim to reach Friendship Level 5 to invite her to your campsite. To invite her, you'll need to craft the following furniture:

Furniture Bells Materials Craft Time
Serving Cart 1150 x15 Steel, x15 Wood 3 hours
Cup of Tea 1340 x3 Friend Powder, x30 Preserves 3 hours
Cacao Tree 1410 x30 Wood 3 hours
Natural Low Table 1860 x3 Natural Essence, x60 Wood 6 hours
Classic Sofa 1950 x3 Natural Essence, x30 Wood, x30 Cotton 6 hours

Leveling Up Sandy Quickly

To quickly reach Friendship Level 15 with Sandy (required for the Afternoon-Tea Set request), utilize these strategies:

  • Snacks: Gift her Bronze, Silver, or Gold Treats. Gold Treats provide the most significant friendship boost (25 points each).
  • Themed Snacks: Offer "Cool" themed snacks like Chocolate Bars, Tasty Chocolate Bars, and Gourmet Chocolate Bars.
  • Dialogue: Choose red dialogue options when conversing with Sandy.
  • Outfit Changes: Change Sandy's outfit; only changes highlighted in red grant friendship points.
  • Request Cards: Use Request Cards to obtain additional tasks if you run out. This only works if Sandy isn't at your campsite.
  • Calling Cards: Use Calling Cards to summon Sandy if she's not readily visible on the map.

Crafting the Afternoon-Tea Set

Once Sandy reaches Friendship Level 15 and offers the request, you can craft the Afternoon-Tea Set. It requires:

  • 24 hours crafting time
  • 10130 Bells
  • x2 Sparkle Stones
  • x4 Cute Essence
  • x75 Steel
  • x75 Preserves

Using the Afternoon-Tea Set

The Afternoon-Tea Set is a Cute-themed item, suitable for various furniture arrangements. Its primary purpose is completing Sandy's special request, rewarding you with 1000 Bells, +10 Friendship points, a Request Card, and a Calling Card. It's also useful for Happy Homeroom classes like Dreamy Dinner Party, Confections Cafe, and Quaint Cake Shop.
