Signpost
A signpost is a structure in the player's town in Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing: Wild World, and Animal Crossing: City Folk. Several signposts are placed around town and each contain a message, often a gameplay tip. When a villager moves in, their house replaces a signpost. In Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, a signpost serves as a placeholder in the campsite for the second amenity slot.
Appearances[edit]
In Animal Crossing[edit]
In Animal Crossing, each acre has a set amount of signposts, and each town has at least 15. When a villager moves in, their house will take the place of a signpost and vice-versa. Additionally, when a camper, Gracie, Katrina, or Redd visits, they appear where a signpost is.
In Wild World and City Folk[edit]
In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, like in Animal Crossing, villagers move in over signposts. In Wild World each town has around nine signposts, while in City Folk each town has around 25 to 30. In Wild World, Gulliver's UFO crashes on a signpost when shot down.
In Pocket Camp[edit]
In Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, a signpost will appear in the second amenity slot during the tutorial. The signpost remains there after the tutorial until the player reaches level 10 and unlocks the second amenity slot. While the signpost is there, no furniture can be placed inside the second amenity slot area.
