Campfire cooking: the buff food worth making in WoW Forever

Every buff food by level, where to get the recipe and the materials it needs.

Cook the food whose text says “well fed”: sit, eat it for at least 10 seconds and you gain its buff for 15 min. Strength food gives 1 at level 1, 20 at level 45 and 25 at level 55. The strongest at level 55: Prowler Steak, Filet o' Flank and Sunrise Omelette, though their recipes have no source on record yet. 114 cooked foods give a buff in all. Any campfire cooks it, and the Basic Campfire Kit comes with Cooking for 1 Simple Wood.

How campfires work now

In Blizzard’s launch post, the Camping system “turns the Cooking profession’s Basic Campfire into a shared campsite”. Nearby players can contribute “up to three profession-crafted Camp Features, with each player adding one”. Sit or craft at a campsite “for at least 1 minute to gain benefits from its Camp Features, including buffs that are mutually exclusive with their corresponding class buffs”. The kits’ own text sets how many features each one holds.

Iron Oven

Places an Iron Oven required for the most advanced cooking recipes. Requires a Cooking Fire nearby. All camping features share a cooldown of 1 hr.

Needs Cooking 300 to use.

  1. Learn it from Blueprint: Iron Ovenneeds Cooking 300

    No source on record yet.

  2. Craft it, then use it at your camp. Raises your Cooking until 300.

The game’s text says the Iron Oven is “required for the most advanced cooking recipes”. The data we hold does not say which recipes those are, so nothing below is marked as needing one.

What other professions add to a camp

The first feature each profession can place, in the game’s words. Each needs a campfire nearby, and all camping features share a cooldown of 1 hr. Blueprints teach higher tiers that can be placed over these and keep their benefit.

Every buff food, by level

The level is what you need to eat it. Food with the biggest buff for its stat at that level comes first. Cook at a campfire or any other cooking fire: Cooking’s own text asks for “meat from beasts and fire to make food”.

Cooked food with no buff

These do something else, in the game’s words.

These only restore health. Their text never mentions being well fed, so skip them if you want a buff.

Questions

What does Well Fed do in WoW Forever?

Well Fed is the buff that food gives you. The game’s text reads “If you spend at least 10 sec eating, you will become well fed”, followed by what you gain and for how long, 15 min on nearly all of it. You must stay seated while eating. 114 cooked foods give it.

How do campfires work in WoW Forever?

Blizzard says the Camping system “turns the Cooking profession’s Basic Campfire into a shared campsite”. Nearby players can contribute “up to three profession-crafted Camp Features, with each player adding one”, and you sit or craft there for at least 1 minute to gain their benefits. The game’s kit text allows 3 on the Basic Campfire Kit, 5 on the Journeyman Campfire Kit and 10 on the Expert Campfire Kit.

Where do you buy cooking recipes in WoW Forever?

Of the 114 buff foods, 67 have a recipe a vendor sells, 14 have one that comes from a quest or a drop, and 2 come with Cooking. 9 have no recipe item and the game files do not say who teaches them, so try a Cooking trainer first. 22 have a recipe with no source on record yet.

Where this comes from

Recipes, materials, levels, skill needs, prices and every buff’s wording come from the WoW Forever game files, where prices are before any reputation discount. Which vendors sell a recipe, and which quests and drops give it, comes from Wowhead’s Forever data, so a recipe “with no source on record” may simply not be listed yet. How Camping works comes from Blizzard’s launch post and the game’s own text. “Biggest” only compares the numbers the game states; it does not say which stat suits your build. Every recipe is listed on the Cooking page.
