In ACNH, you need to establish friendship with the villagers to ensure that they are willing to stay on your island. So this article will provide some suggestions on building up friendships.

Any villager on the island will start with 25 points, and you will be able to decide how many points they get or lose. Every villager has 3 friendship tiers. When you pass 6 levels, you will get new interactions.

Friendship tiers

New Friends Tier: Level 1 - your points go past 29

Level 2 - 30-59 points

Good Friends Tier: Level 3 - 60 points

Level 4 - 100-149 points

Best Friends Tier: Level 5 - 150-199 points
