WoW Forever Camping Planner

2026-11-06

November 6 hotfix: the Tanning Rack requires Leatherworking 125, down from 140. The planner and profession pages use the corrected requirement. Blizzard

How camping works in WoW Forever

1. Cooking 1Light a campfireCooking makes the Basic Campfire from the start. It is the camp: every other object has to stand near one.
2. 60 secSit by the fireSit or craft nearby for a minute and you get the effect of every object at the camp for 1 hour.
3. 3 · 5 · 10One object per playerEach player adds one object of their own profession. The campfire decides how many fit.
4. 15 minA camp doesn’t lastThe client keeps a camp up for 15 minutes; Blizzard estimated about 10. Your next object waits 60 minutes, your next campfire 5.
5. Level 5The fire still burns youStanding in a campfire hurts. Since Blizzard’s October 1 beta notes it no longer damages players below level 5 and does less to anyone under 90% health. Camping while you level: WoW Forever leveling guide.

Launch-week bonus: two-hour camp benefits

From November 4 at 4:30 p.m. PST to November 12 at 4:30 p.m. PST, watch four hours of an eligible World of Warcraft stream and claim the Pouch of Violet Dust in Twitch Drops. During the launch celebration, it turns a campfire purple and extends every camp benefit by one hour, to two hours total, for everyone resting there. Blizzard says the Forever-only toy will be removed when the event ends in early December.

Where you can put a camp

• Almost anywhere in the open world: Icy Veins’ guide gives beaches and riverbanks as examples.
• Not in cities, and not too close to another camp. A buff tells you when one is already nearby; Blizzard hasn’t said how far apart they must be.
• A camp is no safe spot. In MMORPG.com’s interview, Josh Greenfield told of a tester who left her camp on a Duskwood road and came back to find Stitches had killed her.
• On a PvP ruleset the risk grows: Blizzard’s camping article of October 21 warns that enemy players can come upon your camp.

Where camp objects come from

• An early quest introduces camping.
• The first object of each profession, at skill 20: from quests in the starting zones or from the profession trainer.
• Objects that need skill 140 or more: drops in dungeons and raids.
• Source: Blizzard’s camping article of October 21. It doesn’t name the quests or the bosses.

What you build at camp you can plan here for free; the questing route between camps is what two paid addons plan to sell: Zygor vs RestedXP for WoW Forever (the comparison contains affiliate links).

Every WoW Forever camp object

Every profession has 3 tiers of camp objects, starting at skill 20, 125 and 300 (the table gives each object’s own skill), and Cooking also makes the campfires. A tier 2 or 3 object can be placed over the tier 1 object of its profession and keeps its buff, adding a workspace or service. You can trade the objects, but placing one takes the profession; anyone resting at the camp gets the effect (Wowhead’s beta guide).

Every camp object in current client build 1.60.1.70888, by profession and tier (texts at level 60; hover or tap an icon for its tooltip)

October 9: beta client build 1.60.1.70291 raised three Cooking skills by 5. The Journeyman Campfire went from 90 to 95, Cookie’s Feast from 140 to 145 and the Expert Campfire from 200 to 205; no other camp object’s skill changed. This is datamined from the client’s tables: Blizzard’s October 8 development notes don’t mention it.

Blizzard’s Deep Dive recap and Icy Veins said the Sharpening Wheel gives Attack Power. The game client (build 1.60.1.70888) gives it Strength instead, exclusive with Strength of Earth Totem, and puts melee Attack Power on the Mining Lodestone. The table follows the client.

Camp buffs don’t stack with class buffs

Blizzard says camp buffs are variants of class buffs and don’t stack with them. The client names the class buff for each, so a camp fills in for a class your group doesn’t have rather than adding to one it does.

Camp Blueprints

The client has a Blueprint for every tier 2 and 3 object and for the two bigger campfires, 26 in all. Blizzard said they drop from specific dungeon bosses. Drops are decided by the server and aren’t in the client files, so no boss is named here until one is announced; the new instances are on our WoW Forever dungeons page.

The Cozy Sleeping Bag

• Cozy Sleeping BagUse: Unfurl a sleeping bag. Resting inside for at least one minute will provide a bonus to experience earned, stacking up to 3 times.Questline from level 14Stacks up to 3 times

Not a camp object, but the other way to rest on the road: a hidden questline from level 14 ends with this bag. The tooltip above is from the current client; where the questline starts and every step are on the secrets page.
