Best New Crafts in Forever
One standout from every profession: goblin gliders, dragonfire potions, rested-XP tents, reagent bags, and the camp objects that turn a campfire into a base.
Dragonfire PotionBelch a cone of dragonfire for 280 Fire damage, then burn every target hit for 8 more seconds.
Arcanite Blacksmith HammerA thrown weapon that also serves as your Blacksmith Hammer, and stuns the target for 1 second on hit.
Enchanted LuteThe Enchanting camp object: armor, all stats, and all resistances for the whole camp, the same kind of buff as Mark of the Wild.
Ultralight Goblin GliderGlide down through the air for 10 seconds while steering. Jump off cliffs on purpose.
Camp TentRest by the tent to top your Rested experience up to 5% of a level. A leveling favorite.
Linen Reagent BagA new line of reagent bags, from Linen at skill 30 through Mooncloth to the Bottomless Reagent Bag.
Cookie's FeastLay out a feast of Stamina-boosting food for everyone at the fire.
Minor Healing PotionFirst Aid now makes healing potions, from Minor at skill 55 up to Major.

Campfires evolve into multi-utility sites
The Wilderness Camping System
In WoW Forever, your Cooking Fire becomes a Basic Campfire. Placing one creates a campsite where players rest, gain one-hour buffs, and reach vendors, repairs, and profession workspaces. Every nearby player can add one crafted object from their profession, so a roadside stop becomes something you build together.
A Basic Campfire holds up to three objects, one per player. Sit by the fire for a few moments to receive its one-hour buffs, and refresh your food buffs while you rest.
A Blacksmith's Sharpening Wheel raises Strength, a Tailor's Faction Banner raises Spirit, and a Herbalist's Incense Candle raises Intellect. These buffs do not stack with the matching class buffs.
First objects unlock at profession skill 20 from camping NPCs or trainers. Advanced objects, such as the Leatherworking Tanning Rack and the Alchemy Laboratory, come from Blueprint recipes dropped by dungeon bosses.
Cooks can build upgraded campfires that hold 5 or 10 objects, turning a small fire into a camp for the whole group.
