Camping Guide: Profession Bonuses and Buffs in WoW Forever

This WoW Forever camping guide will show you how camping works, how to make a campfire and every camp item and buff of every profession.

How Camping Works

Someone puts down a campfire, and everyone around it can place a camp item of their own profession. Sit (/sit) next to the fire for a minute, you will see a buff start counting down. Then you get Camp Benefits, one buff with everything the camp items give, for an hour.

Each player can place one camp item, and it puts all your camp items on a 1 hour cooldown. A campfire holds 3, 5 or 10 camp items, depending on how big it is (see How to Make a Campfire below). The buffs are weaker class buffs and don't stack with them.

The intro quests in the starting zones, The Great Outdoors and Camping 101, are optional, the buffs work without them. The quest givers' fires always give the Camp Tent's rested experience.

How to Make a Campfire

Learn Cooking from any Cooking trainer, the Basic Campfire Kit comes with it at skill 1. Simple Wood is sold by the trade and general goods vendors in most towns. Open your Professions window (the hammer and pick button in the menu bar), craft the kit from 1 Simple Wood under Cooking, then use it from your bags to place the campfire.

Tip: you don't have to carry Flint and Tinder and wood around any more, craft a stack of Basic Campfire Kits at home and carry only those, they take one bag slot. You can also hand them to others.

The bigger campfires hold more camp items, but they need a Blueprint.

You need more Cooking to use them than to learn them. It's usually the other way around, so maybe it's a bug.

Campfire	Learn at	Use at	Camp items	Made from	Recipe
Basic Campfire Kit	1	1	3	1 Simple Wood	Comes with Cooking
Journeyman Campfire Kit	90	140	5	1 Star Wood	Blueprint: Journeyman Campfire Dropped by: Lord Serpentis in Wailing Caverns
Expert Campfire Kit	200	220	10	1 Thick Logs	Blueprint: Expert Campfire I don't know yet where it drops

Camp Items

Every profession has three camp items, at skill 20, 140 and 300 (Cooking has two), and each one replaces the one before. The tier 1 item comes from your profession trainer, tier 2 and 3 need a Blueprint, a recipe item. The tier 2 blueprints drop from dungeon bosses, the tabs show which one. I don't know yet where the tier 3 ones drop.

Every item also gives everything the lower tiers of its profession give, so you never have to choose between a buff and a crafting station. A Master Forge still gives the Strength buff of the Sharpening Wheel and the anvil of the Anvil, plus the forge. The tabs only list what each tier adds.

Crafting Stations: Tanning Rack, Loom and More

A lot of recipes in WoW Forever need a crafting station nearby, like a Tanning Rack, a Spinning Wheel or a Loom. I haven't found any of them out in the world, they only come from camps, so for a lot of higher level crafting you need a camp. The easiest way is a camp that already has the station, anyone at the fire can use it.

To place one yourself:

1. Get your profession to the skill in the table below.
2. Get the station's Blueprint and learn it. The table shows where it drops, if we know it.
3. Craft the station, put down a campfire and use the station from your bags next to it.
