Camping

Every camping object

A campfire makes a campsite. Anyone standing at it can drop one object from their profession, and everyone there picks up an hour of whatever those objects give. This is the table of what exists.

The rules

Objects per campfire: 3, raised to 5 or 10 by Cooking upgrades
Objects per player: 1
Shared cooldown: 3,600 seconds, one hour, across all camping features
Buff duration: 1 hour
Time to become rested: 60 secondsDatamined
Campsite lifetime: About 10 minutes, on Blizzard’s own estimatePart datamined
First object unlocks at: Profession skill 20, from camping NPCs or your trainer
Advanced objects: Blueprint recipes dropped by specific dungeon bosses
Stacking: Buffs are class-buff variants and do not stack with them
PvP: Campsites are not Sanctuaries

The one that catches people: those buffs are variants of class buffs, not additions to them. A group with a Priest, a Druid and a Paladin in it already has most of this. Camping is aimed at the person levelling alone, which is exactly who does not have those.

The objects, by profession

Each profession gets three objects across skill 1 to 300, the first at skill 20. Blizzard has named one per profession in public; the rest come from the beta client and are marked, because a number pulled out of a beta build is a snapshot of a build rather than a statement about the game. 7 of the 12 rows below are in that second category.

Blacksmithing

Object	Skill	Reagents	Effect
Sharpening Wheel	20	Not published	Increases Attack Power for players at the campsite.

Tailoring

Object	Skill	Reagents	Effect
Faction Banner	20	Not published	Increases Spirit. A class-buff variant, so it does not stack with one.

Herbalism

Object	Skill	Reagents	Effect
Incense Candle	20	Not published	Increases Intellect. A class-buff variant, so it does not stack with one.

First Aid

Object	Skill	Reagents	Effect
First Aid KitPart datamined	20	Linen Bandage Refreshing Spring Water	Increases Stamina. It is a Power Word: Fortitude variant, so a Priest in the group makes it redundant.

Alchemy

Object	Skill	Reagents	Effect
Alchemy Lab	—	Not published	A workspace rather than a buff. Flask crafting runs through it, so some Alchemy now happens at a fire in the world rather than in a capital.

Cooking

Object	Skill	Reagents	Effect
Basic Campfire, then upgrades	—	Not published	Cooking creates the campsite in the first place. Upgraded Campfires raise the object limit from 3 to 5, then to 10.

Skinning

Object	Skill	Reagents	Effect
Camp ChairDatamined	20	Light Leather x3 Simple Wood x2	You and others sitting nearby gain 2% increased critical strike chance with all spells and attacks. Exclusive with Moonkin Aura.
Field GuideDatamined	—	Medium Leather x3 Slimy Murloc Scale x2 Fine Thread x1	Players can read it to gain Track Beasts, and it provides everything a Camp Chair does. May be placed over a Camp Chair to replace it.
Trapper's WorkbenchDatamined	—	Simple Wood x2 Heavy Leather x4 Iron Bar x1	Holds one trap, and provides everything a Camp Chair does. May be placed over a Camp Chair to replace it.

Leatherworking

Object	Skill	Reagents	Effect
Camp TentDatamined	20	Not published	Increases rested experience, reported as up to 5% of a level.
Tanning RackPart datamined	140	Not published	Required for the more advanced Leatherworking recipes. Blizzard named this one publicly; the skill tier is datamined.
Sewing MachineDatamined	300	Not published	The top of the Leatherworking camp chain. Effect not yet published.

Legacy perks that change camping

Three perks in the Legacy tree touch this system. All three are datamined.

Perk	Effect
Field Guide (Rank 1)Datamined	Reduces the camping cooldown by 8%.
Permanence (Rank 1)Datamined	Increases campsite duration by 50%.
Reagent EconomyDatamined	Tier 1 camping features cost no reagents to craft.

One oddity worth naming rather than tidying away: a Legacy perk and a Skinning object are both reported as Field Guide. That is either a real collision in Blizzard’s naming or somebody’s transcription error, and picking one would be inventing a fact. Flagged until the client settles it.

What is still missing

No camping objects have surfaced yet for Enchanting, Engineering, Mining, Fishing.
Reagents for most of the Blizzard-named objects.
Exact buff values. Most published effects name the stat, not the number.
Which dungeon bosses drop which Blueprint recipes.
Whether campsites survive the owner logging out or dying.

The camping guide covers why the system exists and how to plan around it, and the professions changes cover what else moved, including First Aid picking up Healing Potions.

Last verified 2026-09-19. Rows marked verified come from Blizzard’s World of Warcraft: Forever Deep Dive panel recap. Rows marked datamined come from the beta client via Wowhead and Warcraft Tavern, and will move as the build does. Icy Veins for the rest timer and the Legacy perks; Blizzard Watch for the Sanctuary rule. We flag rather than merge the two, because a beta value and a Blizzard statement are not the same kind of fact.
