Guide to Citampi Stories: Tips, Tricks and Strategies

Have Enough RP to Pay Off Debts 

One of the main objectives of Citampi Stories is to pay parent’s loan. The amount will be deducted every week from your total earnings. To know the date to pay off debts, tap on the smartphone icon on the lower-right corner of the screen > calendar app. Now tap on a day that has a dollar bill icon to know what amount you will have to pay to the lender.  

The debt amount increases by 50 RP every week, so you must first check what’s the amount and then do jobs or sell unwanted items to earn RP so that you still have enough RP even after paying off the debts.  

Hint: The in-game calendar app also shows which shops will be open and closed on certain days, giving you a clear idea of about when to shop for essential and non-essential stuff.  

You will need lots of RP to pay the loan shark. Do read our tips to get high-paying work in the city:

How to Complete a Quest and Use Rewards 

Completing quests is the best way to earn items, which can either be sold to obtain RP, consumed to gain energy and other stats, such as intelligence, strength etc. or give gifts to build friendships with NPCs (non-player characters).  

Move your character to an NPC. The closest to your home is Tatang the merchant. Now tap on the “?” callout above an NPC. A dialogue box will appear on the bottom. There will be two buttons above – Chat and Help. Tap on the “Help” button to know the quest. Press the Yes button to accept or the No button to deny a quest.  

Quests area usually job-related. You will have to take a particular job as mentioned on the quest and then come back to the NPC to claim your rewards. However, there will be other quests, such as finding certain missing or lost objects from the garbage and giving them to non-player characters for rewards.  

Quest screen

You will find a list of quests from your in-game smartphone. Tap on the chat app on your smartphone and the tap on an incomplete quest to know the details and rewards. An incomplete quest will have a green dot beside it. Complete the ones that have gray dots.  

When you finish a quest, go back to the same person who gave you this quest and tap on the “?”. Press the orange Help button and the person will thank you for finishing it. The reward will appear on one of the empty inventory slots on the bottom of the screen.  

To know more about an item, tap on the bag located on the upper-right side of the screen and then tap on that item. The item info will help you know whether it should be recycled, given as a gift, sold or consumed.

Fast Travel to Your Home 

While exploring the big city, it might be time-consuming to come back home after a hard day’s work, especially when you have ventured to a completely new area in the city. Well, you don’t have to worry as you can fast travel to your home in no time.  

Online transport to fast-travel

On your smartphone located on the bottom-right corner of the screen, press the motorcyclist app. Now, tap on Home to go back to your house instantly.  

You can unlock other locations for fast-traveling, but you will have to pay a one-time fee for unlocking all locations. 

How to find NPCs  

Non-player characters, such as Madam Lela, Alex, Mrs. Tuti or Elder Sen may not be found on the same place. You might have accepted a quest from one of them, but when you go back to the same place where you first met them, you won’t find them. You will get your rewards from a finished quest only when you go back to the same person who assigned the quest. Finding a character can be tough, unless you use the map.  

You can easily locate NPCS from your in-game smartphone’s map app. Go to your smartphone and tap on the map icon.  

The map shows your current location. It also shows the location of all non-player characters. The map will be of immense help to find NPCS, especially those that have assigned a quest to your character.  

Avoid Exploring the City During Night Time 

Not because of ghosts, but mainly due to the fact that your character will wake up late.  

If he wakes up late, then he will earn less from a job. Most jobs have a certain timing and pay hourly. With full energy, you can earn more if you start a job that begins early morning and ends in the evening. If your character wakes up late, then he might start the same work from the middle and earn less.  

You can explore the city anytime during the day, but during nighttime, you should head back home, especially when the game warns about your character waking up late.  

How to Build Friendship  

Building friendship with city folk in Citampi Stories will unlock new activities, events and features.  

The best way to build friendship with any person (NPC or non-player character) in the city is to interact with them and give gifts. You will have to earn hearts to increase friendship and only then you can get access to new stories and activities.  

Here are a few steps to build friendship:   

First things first. Know your friendship stats with all “Citampers”, i.e. city folk:   

To know your friendship stats with a person, tap on your smartphone on the lower right corner of the screen and tap on the “C” app.  

The app named “Citampers” reveals a list of NPCs you have talked to or interacted with. The ones with the green dot are accessible. You should consider building friendship with them first.  

NPC profile and relationship gauge.

Tap on the portrait of an NPC on the right side of the app to access his friendship status, which will be shown on the left. It will display the full name of the NPC, his/her birthday, hobby, job and the area in which they can be found.  

A relationship gauge can be found under a person’s name. You will have to increase the gauge to earn a heart from that person.  

When you obtain a heart, you build friendship and the same person will unlock new activities, provide items or open up new stories.  

Here are a few ways to increase the relationship gauge:  

Talk to the person daily to get relationship points. Tap on the chat button to talk to him/her and you will see the gauge increase by a few points in the “C” app.  

You will have limited number of interactions per person per day in this game. Make sure you go back to your home, sleep and then come back the next day to talk to same person to strengthen friendship and earn more points.  

Giving gifts is the best way to get plenty of relationship points and fill the gauge fast. You can buy items from Tatang the merchant and then gift those to a person. All you have to do is drag that gift from the inventory slot below and drop it on him. You can give gifts to both male and female characters in the game.
