Camping in WoW: Forever: what every profession brings to the campfire

Camping is one of the new systems of WoW: Forever, and Blizzard now explained exactly how it works. A simple Cooking Fire becomes a shared camp where players rest, prepare and meet each other on the road.

How a camp works

With Cooking you place a Basic Campfire. That turns the spot into a campsite for everyone nearby.
Other players can each add one camp feature, up to three per campfire. Cooks later learn better campfires that hold five or even ten features.
Sit or craft at the camp for at least one minute and you get the buffs of all features there. They last an hour.
The camp buffs are versions of class buffs, so they don't stack with the class buff they copy.
All camp features need a campfire nearby and share a one hour cooldown.

How you get them

A short quest early on introduces camping.
From profession skill 20 you get the first camp items, through quests in the starting zones or from a profession trainer.
Items that need skill 140 or higher drop in dungeons and raids.

What every profession brings

Cooking, Basic Campfire: the camp itself, also for cooking.
First Aid, First Aid Kit: more Stamina, like Power Word: Fortitude.
Fishing, Fishing Bowl: 8% more stats, like Blessing of Kings.
Alchemy, Mana Well: mana regeneration, like Blessing of Wisdom.
Blacksmithing, Sharpening Wheel: more Strength, like Strength of Earth Totem.
Enchanting, Enchanted Lute: armor, all stats and resistances, like Mark of the Wild.
Engineering, Reagent Bot: buy reagents out in the world.
Herbalism, Incense Candle: more Intellect, like Arcane Intellect.
Leatherworking, Camp Tent: extra rested experience, 5% of a level.
Skinning, Camp Chair: 2% more critical strike, like Moonkin Aura.
Tailoring, Faction Banner: more Spirit for your faction, like Divine Spirit.

Professions also unlock handy extras, like Alchemy Laboratories and Tanning Racks.

Professions in short

You can learn two primary professions: the gathering professions Skinning, Mining and Herbalism, or the crafting professions Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Leatherworking and Tailoring.
You can learn all three secondary professions: Cooking, Fishing and First Aid.
Ranks go from Apprentice to Journeyman, Expert and Artisan.

Choose your spot

Not every place is safe for a rest. Monsters can still find you, and on a PvP ruleset an enemy camp is an easy target.

What this means for Legends of Azeroth

A guild that camps together gets stronger together. With a cook, a fisher and a few crafters in the group you have a campfire full of buffs before every dungeon. Talk about who learns what in the profession forums, so we cover every camp feature as a guild.
