Why your WoW Forever camp buff is missing

No buff after sitting

  1. Did you type /sit?

    Type /sit in chat instead of using the sit key, then /sit again while you sit. It also completes the sit objective of The Great Outdoors.

    Reported

  2. Did you stay a full minute?

    Camp Benefits starts when the Welcoming Campfire countdown ends. Sitting, a chair, lying down, sleeping, kneeling and crafting all count. You can cast and buff while you wait, but do not move.

  3. Is the fire still burning?

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

  4. Is the camp on a dock?

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

    Reported

Only some buffs, or 0

  1. Does your group cast the matching class buff?

    Each camp buff does not stack with one class buff, and the class buff takes over: Incense Candle adds nothing while Arcane Intellect is on you.

    Reported

  2. Did you sit again with /sit?

    Sit again with /sit to pick up the missing buffs or the 0 values.

    Reported

Will not place

  1. Are you outdoors, outside a major city?

    Move out into open ground and try again.

  2. Is a campfire burning right beside you?

    A camp object places only beside a burning campfire. Stand still next to it for the 10 second cast.

  3. Is another campfire within 100 yards?

    Two campfires must stand at least 100 yards apart. Use the fire that is already there, or walk away from it.

  4. Did you already place one?

    Each player adds one object to a camp. Let another player place theirs.

  5. Is the camp full?

    A Basic Campfire holds 3 camp objects, a Journeyman Campfire 5 and an Expert Campfire 10. Light a bigger fire, or start a second camp far enough away.

  6. Is your skill high enough?

    Placing an object needs its profession skill, even when you bought it. A campfire kit asks for its own Cooking skill, such as 220 for the Expert Campfire. Every fire's skill is in the campfire guide.

  7. Is a cooldown still running?

    Camp objects share one cooldown, and campfire kits have their own. The Legacy perk Field Guide shortens the object cooldown by up to 25%.

  8. Placing Cookie's Feast or the Iron Oven?

    Both need a Cooking Fire next to them. Every campfire allows cooking, and the Basic Campfire took the place of the old Cooking Fire, so place them right beside a lit Basic Campfire. ?

Tent gives no rested XP

  1. Did you sit by it for 30 seconds?

    Place the Camp Tent near a campfire and sit by it for 30 seconds to top up your rested XP.

  2. Are you already rested?

    The tent only tops your rested XP up to 5% of a level. If you already have more than that, it does nothing.

  3. Did you use one this hour?

    The tent shares the camp object cooldown and leaves the Boosted Rest debuff on you. A second tent inside that hour gives nothing.

How the tent and the Cozy Sleeping Bag work with rested XP is in the XP buffs guide.

Known camping bugs

  • Fishing Rack gives no extra rewards

    Partly fixed Nov 10

    Blizzard fixed one cause of missing Fishing Rack lures on November 10 and lists other Rack problems, such as "There is no loot" errors, as known issues. If your Rack gives nothing, it is likely one of those bugs, not your camp.

  • Sleeping bag lands in the fire

    Reported

    The Cozy Sleeping Bag can land inside the campfire when you unroll it close by. You cannot lie in it, but its 1-hour cooldown still starts, so step away from the fire first.
