Profession feature upgrade paths
Each profession starts with one feature at skill 20. The skill-140 and skill-300 blueprints are placed over that object, so they cost no extra slot: they add a new utility and, apart from the Engineering workbench, carry the original benefit forward.

Placement and sharing
Camp rules and etiquette
Where can I set up a camp?
Nearly anywhere in the open world. A campfire turns the spot into a campsite that other passing players can walk up to and use, so the useful places are the ones people actually pass through: a quest hub you are working, the road between two zones, or just outside a dungeon entrance while the group forms.
Do camp buffs stack with class buffs?
No. Every camp object mirrors an existing class buff and will not stack with it. A Sharpening Wheel and a Strength of Earth Totem do not add up, and neither do an Incense Candle and Arcane Intellect. Each entry in the tables above names the buff it conflicts with, so a camp is worth most to a group that is missing those classes.
How many things fit in one camp?
Three, five or ten feature slots, depending on the campfire. A Basic Campfire holds three, a Journeyman Campfire five, and an Expert Campfire ten. Each player at the camp can contribute one object from their own professions, which is why a camp fills up fastest when several people stop at it.
How long do I have to stay?
One minute. Sit or craft near the fire for a minute and you collect every benefit in the camp at once. The attribute buffs then last an hour, and camp features share a one-hour placement cooldown.
Do I need a profession to camp?
You need Cooking for the campfire itself, which starts at skill 1. Every other profession unlocks its first camp feature at skill 20, so even a freshly trained gathering profession contributes something.
Is it rude to use someone else's camp?
No. A campsite is public by design: anyone who walks up can rest and take the buffs. The polite move is to add an object of your own if you have a slot to fill, and to place your own fire a little away from an existing camp rather than on top of it, so both keep their slots.
