Campfire rules

Basic Campfire

Replaces Cooking Fire. A camp holds up to three objects; each player may place one. Camp features share a one-hour cooldown.

Camp buffs

Camp buffs last one hour and do not stack with their matching class buffs. Campfire kits and profession features have separate cooldowns.

Unlocking objects

Tier 1 objects start at profession skill 20 from trainers or introductory NPCs. Advanced blueprints come from dungeon bosses.

Upgrades

Most professions have three feature tiers. Higher tiers retain the profession benefit and add services or workstations. Cooking upgrades support five or ten objects.

Resting for the buff

Sitting, using a chair, sleeping, lying down, or the kneeling emote qualify. You can craft, cast, and buff while waiting for a camp buff.
