CAMPING

Camping and professions

Professions now help the whole group around the campfire.

Camping and professions

Cooking's simple campfire becomes the Basic Campfire, and placing one creates a campsite: rest, vendors, repairs, profession workspaces and one-hour buffs, built up together as nearby players contribute objects from their own professions.

  • A Basic Campfire holds up to three crafted objects. Each player can contribute one, and the objects share a one-hour cooldown.
  • Every profession has three objects learned at different skill levels, each granting that profession's buff or utility.
  • The first objects are learned at skill 20; advanced ones need Blueprint recipes that drop from specific dungeon bosses.
  • Object buffs are variants of specific class buffs and do not stack with them.
  • Cooks can learn upgraded campfires that hold five or 10 objects.
  • One Legacy talent makes Tier 1 camping features cost no reagents (shown on the revealed Legacy tree screen).

DEMO

Spotted in the demo

  • The Three Corners market and Merchant's FavorReported

    An Azeroth Commerce Authority market sits at Three Corners in Redridge Mountains, where the roads from Elwynn and Duskwood meet (Horde: Durotar Supply and Logistics). Turning in missing supply crates earns Merchant's Favor, spent on profession recipes — Alchemy 39, Engineering 42, Enchanting 20, Tailoring 11, Cooking 5, certifications 80.

  • Supply officer waresReported

    Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert and Artisan supply packs (5 Favor, random materials for that tier), an Honored Advertising License Application (80, starts a quest for a Dwarven Tradeskill Sign toy) and an Exalted tabard (5 gold + 100 Favor).

  • Certifications and titlesReported

    Each crafting profession has a certification (80 Favor) that unlocks an account-wide title such as "the Alchemist"; displaying it requires 300 skill in that profession.

  • Gathering manuals from the starting zoneReported

    A chewed-up book from Northshire kobolds starts a quest that rewards a choice of Mining, Skinning or Herbalism manual: +2 skill (max 15), and it teaches the profession if you have a free slot.
