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
- Finish The Great Outdoors, the quest you get near your first town.
- Learn your profession's camp object at skill 20, from its Camping 101 quest or the profession trainer.
- A player with Cooking lights a campfire outdoors, outside the major cities and at least 100 yards from any other campfire.
- 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.
- 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.
Results update as you pick.

Basic Campfire: 3 slots
Camp slots
Playing alone? You place only your own object, so join camps you pass.
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

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.

Reagent Economy does not make camp objects free: it only removes vendor reagents from class abilities.
Camp buff missing?
- Reported
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.
Is the fire still burning?
If it went out before your minute was up, light a new one and sit again.
- Reported
Is the camp on a dock?
Camps on docks give no buff even though the fire lights. Move onto solid ground.
Every other fix is in Campfire not working.
