Each campfire is its own kit, so a bigger fire is the only way to fit more camp buffs into one camp.
Get the Journeyman Campfire
- Level Cooking to 90 with the Cooking leveling guide, which goes all the way to 220.
- Run Wailing Caverns and kill Lord Serpentis for the Journeyman Campfire blueprint.
- Learn the blueprint, then light the Journeyman Campfire whenever your camp needs more than 3 objects.
Campfire timers and cooldowns
- Sit by the fire
- 1 minute
- Fire burns
- 15 minutes
- Each object stands
- 15 minutes
- Camp Benefits last
- 1 hour
- Campfire kit cooldown
- 5 minutes
Place your objects early so they are all up when you sit. Camp Benefits then runs its full hour, even after the fire burns out. Permanence is a Legacy perk: rank 1 gives 90 minutes, rank 2 gives 2 hours.
Event During the Launch Celebration, throw a 
Pouch of Violet Dust into the fire before anyone sits: everyone who sits after that gets 2 hours of Camp Benefits instead of 1. It does not raise the Camp Tent's rested XP. Sitting again later gives 1 hour. Reported
