WoW Forever: what each profession adds to a campfire

Blizzard has published the full list of camp features, from a Fishing Bowl worth 8% to all stats to an Engineering bot that sells reagents.

Blizzard has set out how camping works in WoW Forever, with a table of what every profession brings to a campsite. The Cooking Fire becomes a Basic Campfire, and placing one creates a shared campsite where nearby players can rest. A Basic Campfire holds up to 3 camp features, 1 per player, and anyone who sits or crafts there for at least 1 minute gets the benefit of the others. Every camp feature needs a campfire nearby, and they all share a 1-hour cooldown.

Each profession's first camp item comes at skill 20, from a starter zone quest or a profession trainer, and items that need skill 140 or more drop in dungeons and raids. A simple early quest introduces the system. The effects are variants of class buffs and do not stack with them. The First Aid Kit gives 3 to 56 Stamina, depending on level, and is exclusive with Power Word: Fortitude. The Fishing Bowl gives 8% to all stats and is exclusive with Blessing of Kings. The Alchemy Mana Well restores 10 to 29 mana every 5 seconds, exclusive with Blessing of Wisdom.

The Blacksmithing Sharpening Wheel gives 6 to 34 Strength, which settles a detail that earlier camping reports had disagreed on; it is exclusive with Strength of Earth Totem. The Enchanted Lute gives 28 to 260 Armor, up to 13 to all stats and up to 22 to all resistances, exclusive with Mark of the Wild. The Herbalism Incense Candle gives 2 to 25 Intellect, exclusive with Arcane Intellect, and the Skinning Camp Chair gives 2% critical strike chance with all spells and attacks, exclusive with Moonkin Aura.

Some features do something other than buff. The Engineering Reagent Bot lets nearby players buy reagents. The Leatherworking Camp Tent raises rested experience by 5% of a level, with no effect if you already have more than that. The Tailoring Faction Banner gives 14 to 32 Spirit, only to members of your own faction, and is exclusive with Divine Spirit. Cooks can later learn bigger campfires that hold 5 or even 10 objects, and other professions unlock conveniences such as Alchemy Laboratories and Tanning Racks.

Blizzard calls the table a sample of each profession's camp features, so more may follow. It also warns that a campsite is not always safe: you have to stop and sit to get the buffs, and on a PvP ruleset enemy players can find you while you rest.
