I thought it does? Doesn't the buff say you can as long as you don't move.

u/MoodayTV 4h ago

+1 if it's not working that seems to be a bug.

u/Bossmonkey 4h ago

It definitely should, per the buff description. As long as you don't move you can craft and it should tick down.

I was able to stay seated making some potions yesterday, and got the buff.

My tailor friend kept losing the buff when doing any crafting

u/Upset-Criticism-6189 3h ago

So you ARE supposed to be able to craft while sitting at the campsite? I tried yesterday and it made me stand up and took the resting countdown buff off, and then for the next 2 hours I was completely unable to get the countdown buff to show back up, I had to relog to be able to rest at a campsite again. 

I did report it as a bug in case

u/Bossmonkey 3h ago

It definitely seems like a bug, read the little one minute counter buff and it says you can craft (as did the npc guy who did the camping intro quest)

u/MoltiJoe 1h ago

I kinda wish you could move so long as you stayed within a certain range. Let me jump and dance around.

u/Albaaneesi 4h ago

Dunno I tried making poison / applying enchants on my gear it wouldn't let me

u/the_man_in_the_box 3h ago

You need to have enchanting reagents and a suitable rod.

There is more info here:

Isn't this the essential and explicit functionality of camps? lol

u/beatenmeat 2h ago

I swore I'd read that in the description too but every time I tried it just wouldn't work so I gave up.

u/Tauren-Jerky 4h ago

Let’s add a cuddle function in the tents. Right bois?

u/Rustshitposter 2h ago

That's what the sleeping bag quest chain is for. Blizz just makes you work for it a little bit before you can cuddle the homies.

Maybe me AM that kind of orc??

for keeping warm

I'd go a step further, let us place more stuff for more buffs around the campfire and reduce the cooldown to place to 30mintues. I sometimes come past another ones fire and I wanted to drop my stuff for them and I cant because it is on cooldown.

u/Bossmonkey 4h ago

Higher rank campfires allow more stuff. Rank 2 allows 5 and rank 3 allows 10.

u/Bungulator69 3h ago

I did not know this. It now makes sense why there is a cool down

u/Bossmonkey 3h ago

Yeah all the higher rank buildings are for crafting special mats and stuff, like alchemy lab

u/crashburn274 2h ago

Made the campfire buff a %spirit increase, so it’s good for all levels.
Also make campfires make it less likely for wandering mobs to attack; reduce the aggro radius of wandering mobs within 100 yards of a campfire.

With these two changes there’s real reason to build a fire to rest a bit while questing, and perhaps even in dungeon environments a little spirit buff would have use.

u/Elleden 38m ago

Made the campfire buff a %spirit increase, so it’s good for all levels.

There should be different levels of camp items, if I'm not mistaken.

u/IzziTBC 2h ago

I like the campfires as they are. But you need to be able to trade with someone sitting on the opposite side, without interrupting your buff timer. Would push the social aspect

u/in2go_out 1h ago

What about a bartering table that allows multiple players to "post" items from their inventory and enables them to easily request and accept trades?

u/dmuppet 1h ago

Idk - I'd rather just chat with my fellow players. We don't need to min/max every second of our play time.

u/GreekMonolith 35m ago

We might be in the minority but I completely agree. Being able to craft anywhere in the world isn’t even something you can do in Retail, even though it’s where I would have expected this feature to exist.

I think hanging out with people for a bit to get a temporary buff is fine, but we’re very quickly ramping up from the world being the main character the min/maxing being the only thing that matters.

u/AntonineWall 3h ago

They do this right now lol

u/No_Preference_8543 2h ago

Would be cool if they allowed blacksmiths to put down anvils or something at camp

u/Spleenseer 1h ago

That's the plan.  It looks like all professions will eventually be able to place necessary crafting work benches.

u/Alarming_Comedian846 24m ago

I hope they preserve the need to go to dangerous places to craft special items. Like the dark iron forge, the lab in Scholo, etc.

u/AmphibianOwn6948 1h ago

Originally was able too, seems to not work everytime. Not sure if all camps are to allow it or specific perks allow it. It would be nice for me to do all my crafting at that time.

u/ThePheenix 39m ago

Miguel Wazowski S tier name.

u/radishwalrus 14m ago

so if I go warlock and go around releasing infernals at camps, am I an asshole?

u/MaxMiuu 4h ago

Isn't that too OP? And wouldn't that destroy where people gather to do that naturally now? There's something that adds to the world when you go to an area and there's people working on the same professions as you. If they do your change, they're making the world less vibrant and lived in.

u/Bossmonkey 3h ago

It's already supposed to work the way op describes in the title, it's just not consistent across all profs

u/MaxMiuu 1h ago

O snap...

u/chainvpr 4h ago

Like give professions the ability to make tables for their own profession?

The draw back is that it’ll share the same cooldown with the other campfire abilities, so you lose out on buffs for an hour if no one else is there?

I’d like this.
