← All news & articlesStart with the buffs your party already has
Blizzard’s examples are a Blacksmith’s Sharpening Wheel for Attack Power, a Tailor’s Faction Banner for Spirit and an Herbalist’s Incense Candle for Intellect. These buffs overlap with corresponding class buffs and do not stack with them. The combinations below are planning examples, not a ranked set of mandatory camps. Inspect current effects and available slots before deciding what to place. A familiar profession name does not tell you whether its benefit is missing from this particular party.
Example one: physical adventurers with a genuine gap
For a group centered on weapon damage, consider the Sharpening Wheel if its effect adds something the party lacks. Do not fill another slot merely to make the camp look complete. Ask whether the next useful contribution would help a support player or provide an available service. Two characters who both deal physical damage can still bring different class tools. The right choice depends on the effects already present and what the group intends to do after resting.
Example two: casters planning their next route
For a caster-heavy group, consider the Incense Candle when its effect is missing. The Faction Banner is another candidate only after checking existing buffs and what its current effect offers your group. Do not label either object a guaranteed increase to everyone’s damage or recovery without reading the tooltip. A practical plan might use one useful missing buff and reserve the remaining capacity for a contribution that solves a specific preparation problem.
Example three: a mixed party with limited space
A mixed group might discuss a Wheel, Banner and Candle as three candidate objects, but candidates are not an instruction to place all three. List the effects the party already supplies, remove overlaps and ask who benefits from what remains. Where an object is redundant, consider an available utility contribution instead. Confirm which player will place each selected object before anyone uses their opportunity. This small conversation is particularly worthwhile when people have brought the same profession.
Review the camp when the group changes
A replacement party member may supply a buff you were previously missing, changing the value of the same camp plan. Recheck instead of copying yesterday’s arrangement. Our first-camp guide covers the basic limits and profession teamwork explains contribution planning. For an outdoor duo, read class combinations as well. Use a camp to support the people present, rather than recruiting or rerolling characters to satisfy a theoretical camp template.
