Comment by Thottbot

The map is partly wrong. The Enchanters' shop is on the canal opposite the Trade District on the outside of the Mage Quarter.

still waiting for the confusing wood

Comment by Allakhazam

Why is this so expensive in the AH, often selling for more than 1g 50s for a 20 stack, when its available from merchants in most places and in unlimited quantities for less than 10s for same stack?

Quick Fire-making Facts

For 1 campfire, you need:
1 Flint and Tinder
1 Simple Wood
Use of the spell Basic Campfire (in Spellbook, general tab)
Buff Received: Cozy Fire +4 Spirit
Campfire Duration: 10 minutes
Basic Campfire Spell Cooldown: 5 minutes
Buff Duration: 1 minute

Details

Flint and Tinder, along with Simple Wood is required to start a fire almost anywhere (exception: in the water). The flint remains in your bag, but the wood will be used up - one item per one time use. Once you have both Flint and Tinder and the Simple Wood, use the Basic Campfire spell (hit "P" on the keyboard where it is in your general spells) to create the campfire. The Basic Campfire spell has a 5 minute cooldown.

While the Basic Campfire is active, the Cozy Fire buff +4 Spirit, continuously remains available for anyone who stands beside the fire. If you move too far away from it, the buff will remain on you, however it will time out and diminish unless you stand by the fire again. The buff otherwise lasts for one minute. Each time you stand near the campfire, the buff will activate again. (Simply running by it may not activate it as it may take more than one second to be near it in order to rebuff.) Standing beside it, of course will allow the buff to remain on you continuously.

The Basic Campfire stays lit for exactly 10 minutes. It cannot be moved, and cannot be extinguished. It burns out on its own and disappears.

More than one person can use your campfire, and anyone can use it to cook with, even the other faction. You cannot be damaged by campfire.

Fun Fact: someone from the other faction cannot use your created campfire to obtain a buff; the other faction may only cook with it. Any character within your faction can both cook and receive the buff.

This is an overlooked stat that people do not take advantage of in dungeons -- not just for cooking food. As a healer who benefits from Spirit, there may be occasions when you can light a fire near you (as campfires may be created anywhere, even inside instances), obtain the 4+ Spirit and if you lose your buff during a fight if it lasts more than 1 minute, run back over to the fire to rebuff for another minute. A one-time purchase of Flint and Tinder for 1s35c, but each stack of Simple Wood is 38c, and can stack up to 20, taking up two slots (one for flint, one for wood). This is a cheap way to add +4 Spirit for those that take all they can get with Spirit.

You cannot create a Basic Campfire in the water (underwater or while swimming). You cannot create a Basic Campfire while you're moving (this applies to slow-fall). If you are mounted, as soon as you activate the spell you will automatically dismount.

Fun Fact: A character with the ability to walk on water or levitate can create a Basic Campfire on the water. This means priests with levitate or shamans with water-walking, and any characters that benefit from their ability to cast those spells on characters that otherwise cannot rise above water or in the air on their own.

When you learn the Secondary Skill, cooking, you will recieve two spells under the general tab of your Spellbook: Basic Campfire and Cooking. You can drag both to your action bar. As with all spells Basic Campfire has necessary reagents: Flint and Tinder, and Simple Wood, both of which must be in your back pack. Click the Basic Campfire icon to start the fire.
