CONFIRMED
How Camping is described
The system is social first; the optimization layer comes later.
Craft a campfire
Blizzard calls Camping an outdoor system for crafting campfires in the world.
Other adventurers can stop by
The recap explicitly frames the camp as a shared place where visitors contribute through professions.
Shared campsite buffs
The reward is described as buffs shared by people at the campsite, without strength or duration values.
OPEN RULES
What players will need before planning camps
Do not build a profession choice around an assumed camp bonus.
Eligible professions
Blizzard has not said which professions contribute, whether every contribution is different, or whether secondary skills matter.
Ownership and visibility
The checked material does not say whether camps are personal, group-based, guild-owned, persistent, or visible to everyone nearby.
Duration and limits
Camp duration, area limits, contribution cooldowns, and any interaction with rested experience or hearthstones are not published.
- Press reports describe camps as placeable almost anywhere and a trade skill as granting a specific buff, but those details remain Reported.
- The beta announcement does not confirm Camping as playable in the level-30 test.
- The Deep Dive panel is the next likely source for the contribution model.
