WoW Forever · Campfire field guide

Pitchin' a Tent.

Light a fire, sit for a minute, walk away buffed for an hour.

Every campfire in WoW Forever, every camp object your professions can add, what each one gives, and where to get the kits, blueprints and materials.

How a camp works

1. Someone lights a fire

Campfire kits are a Cooking recipe. The fire sets how many camp objects fit: 3, 5 or 10.

2. Everyone adds one object

Each player places one object from their own profession. Placing one puts all your camp objects on a shared 1-hour cooldown.

3. Sit for a minute

/sit (or craft) by the fire for about 1 minute. You get every object's buff for 1 hour, even after you walk away.

The kits stack in one bag slot and can be traded, so one cook can supply the whole guild. All three kits share a 5-minute cooldown. You learn the Journeyman and Expert recipes before you can use the kits they make.

The rules

Where and when

Outdoors only

Not in combat, not in dungeons or raids, and not in the restricted parts of major cities. Fires must be spaced apart. Placing one is a 10-second cast.

The fire goes out

A campfire burns for 10 to 15 minutes (guides differ), so it goes out long before your buffs do. Buffs last 1 hour.

Objects are used up

Placing an object uses it, so bring a spare. The Camp Tent's rested experience works once per hour.

Upgrades swap in

A tier 2 or 3 object replaces your lower one without taking another slot or waiting for the cooldown, and keeps the tier 1 buff.

No double-dipping

Camp buffs are weaker versions of class buffs and don't stack with them. A real Fortitude beats the First Aid Kit.

Stations stay in your bags

Crafting stations are used from your bags next to a lit fire, and anyone at the fire can use them.

Tier 1 · skill 20

The buff objects

Learn these at skill 20 from your profession trainer, or from the Camping 101 quest (the optional intro after The Great Outdoors). Values are for level 60.

Cooking has no tier 1 object: the campfire is its part of the camp. Alliance and Horde tailors each make their own banner.

Tier 2 · skill 140

Upgrades from dungeon Blueprints

Higher tiers need a Blueprint that drops in dungeons. Each one keeps your tier 1 buff and adds a job. Several are crafting stations that higher-level recipes need nearby.

Tier 3 Blueprints: no confirmed drops yet. The level 60 dungeons weren't in the beta, so watch the endgame dungeons. One beta drop of the Trapper's Workbench Blueprint from Houndmaster Loksey (Scarlet Monastery: Library) was seen, but not confirmed. Engineering's Reagent Bot works the same as the Repair Bot's vendor; Engineering gives no stat buff.

Legacy perks

Three perks that boost camping

Field Guide

Adventure perk. Cuts the camp object cooldown, by up to 25% at max rank (one hour down to 45 minutes).

Permanence

Resourcefulness perk. Camp buffs last 50% longer: 90 minutes instead of 60.

Reagent Economy

Resourcefulness perk. Tier 1 camp objects need no materials.

Quick tips

Camps that pull their weight

Levelling duo

A Basic fire with a Camp Tent and a Fish Bowl: rested experience plus 8% stats while you quest. Add a Camp Chair if a skinner is around.

Before a dungeon

Camp at the entrance. Buffs last an hour, and a Repair Bot or Reagent Bot saves the walk back to town.

Fill the gaps, not the class buffs

Camp buffs don't stack with class buffs. If your group has no druid, the Lute shines. If it has a priest, skip the First Aid Kit.

Craft at camp

Tier 2 and 3 stations make camp the place to craft. Bring your profession's station and your guild's crafters can use it too.

Buster's tip

Find your campers in the Vault

The Professions page in Bonkr Vault shows who in your guild has each profession and skill. Bonkr Gavel+ reads them for you, and Bonkr Courier sends them up. Use it to see who can bring the Tent, the Bowl or the 10-slot fire before raid night.
