WoW Forever Camping Guide

Light a campfire, let each player place one camp object beside it, then sit together for 1 minute: everyone keeps every object's camp buff for 1 hour, even after you leave. Bring the objects your group's class buffs do not already cover.

How WoW Forever camping works

Everything burns out
15 minutes
Objects per player
1 per hour
Campfire kit cooldown
5 minutes
A campfire holds
3, 5 or 10
  1. Finish The Great Outdoors, the quest you get near your first town.
  2. Learn your profession's camp object at skill 20, from its Camping 101 quest or the profession trainer.
  3. A player with Cooking lights a campfire outdoors, outside the major cities and at least 100 yards from any other campfire.
  4. Each player places one object beside the fire right away, before it burns out. It is a 10 second cast and needs the profession skill, even for a bought object.
  5. Everyone types /sit, not the sit key, and stays by the fire for 1 minute while the Welcoming Campfire countdown runs. Crafting counts too. Countdown not starting? Type /sit again. Reported

What to bring to a WoW Forever camp

Pick your role and campfire to load the best camp, then swap any object to see what it adds at level 60.

Your role

Melee: Warriors, rogues, Retribution, Enhancement, Feral

Your campfire

Your camp

Basic Campfire: 3 slots

Camp slots

Playing alone? You place only your own object, so join camps you pass.

My group already casts

Each camp buff does not stack with the class buff it copies, and the class buff wins Reported

Advanced: object tiers and Legacy perks

A Tier 2 or Tier 3 object is placed over the Tier 1 object of its profession and gives the same benefit.

Legacy perk: Camp Benefits last longer

Legacy perk: cuts the shared camp object cooldown

Your answer

+8% all stats, +90 melee attack power, +2% critical strike chance

3 of 3 slots filled

What your camp adds

  • Strength +0
  • Agility +0
  • Stamina +0
  • Intellect +0
  • Spirit +0
  • All stats +8%
  • Melee attack power +90
  • Mana every 5 seconds +0
  • Critical strike chance +2%
  • All resistances +0
  • Armor (level 60) +0

Lasts 1 hour. Place your next object in 60 minutes.

What these numbers assume

Adds the level 60 Camp Benefits of the objects in your camp; lower levels get less, except the Fish Bowl and Camp Chair percents, which are the same at every level. A camp buff does not stack with the class buff it copies: tick that class buff under My group already casts and its object stops counting. The Fish Bowl percent is shown on its own: whether it raises the other camp stats is still being checked.

  • Food and Well-Rested stack

    Camp buffs stack with food buffs and with the Well-Rested buff of the Cozy Sleeping Bag.

  • A full Expert camp takes 10 players

    It holds all nine stat objects and the Camp Tent, one per player, so each needs a different profession. The tent and rested XP are in the XP buffs guide.

What each profession builds for your camp

Nine professions build a stat camp buff. The class buff each one copies, its tiers and its blueprints are in the camp buff comparison.

Legacy perks for camping

  • Field Guide

    Object cooldown

    Cuts the shared 1-hour object cooldown: at full rank you place again after 45 minutes. Not the Skinning object of the same name.

    Ranks: 8% / 17% / 25%
  • Permanence

    Camp Benefits time

    Camp Benefits last longer than the usual hour.

    Ranks: 90 minutes / 2 hours

Reagent Economy does not make camp objects free: it only removes vendor reagents from class abilities.

Camp buff missing?

  1. Did you /sit twice and stay a full minute?

    Type /sit, not the sit key, then /sit again. Sitting, a chair, lying down and crafting all count. You can cast while you wait, but do not move.

    Reported
  2. Is the fire still burning?

    If it went out before your minute was up, light a new one and sit again.

  3. Is the camp on a dock?

    Camps on docks give no buff even though the fire lights. Move onto solid ground.

    Reported

Every other fix is in Campfire not working.

  • How long a campfire burns: the game data says 15 minutes, and a shorter time is also claimed.
