Camping 101 Quests in WoW Forever: What They Are
A Camping 101 quest in World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever) is a short profession quest that teaches you the first camp item for a profession you have trained, such as the Fish Bowl for Fishing, and you hand it in to that profession's trainer. Wowhead's camping guide by Serenal says you get a 101 quest for every profession you have trained, and the quest pages I opened, as of November 12, 2026, are all level 6 and ask for skill 20.
Quick answer: You need character level 4. Raise the profession to the skill the quest names (20 on every page I opened), then talk to the trainer the quest points to. You learn the Tier 1 camp item and gain 270 experience. The quest is not sharable.
Key facts
- Quest level: 6, requires level 4 (Wowhead, three pages)
- Skill goal: 20 in Fishing, Mining and Engineering (Wowhead)
- Reward: the profession's Tier 1 camp item and 270 experience
- Added: patch 1.60.1, per Wowhead
- Versions: the same quest appears once per race group, with different givers
What is a Camping 101 quest?
Camping is a crafting system that sits beside your professions. Wowhead's guide says that around level 5 The Great Outdoors sends you to train Cooking and craft a Basic Campfire, and that you then receive a 101 quest for every profession you have trained. Handing it in to the profession trainer teaches the Tier 1 item. Camp items need a campfire nearby, and Wowhead says anyone can receive the benefit, though you need the skill to place the item. The camping guide covers the buffs, and The Great Outdoors fix covers the quest that comes first.
Who gives the quest and where do I hand it in?
It depends on your race group, because Wowhead lists a separate quest for each. The three pages I opened show the pattern:
- Camping 101: Fishing: Sam Sarsaparilla starts it and Lee Brown ends it near Goldshire in Elwynn Forest, for Dwarf, Night Elf and Gnome. You learn the Fish Bowl.
- Camping 101: Mining: Eric Brighthammer starts it and Yarr Hammerstone ends it in Kharanos, Dun Morogh, for Dwarf and Gnome. You learn the Lodestone.
- Camping 101: Engineering: Kaga Wildhoof starts it and Twizwick Sprocketgrind ends it in the Venture Co. Mine in Mulgore, on the Horde side. You learn the Reagent Bot.
Other listings carry the same name for Tauren, Night Elf, Undead and High Order Skyborne. Which giver you meet first is not stated on the pages, so check your quest log.
What skill do I need?
Each of the three pages says to raise the skill to 20. Wowhead's camping guide also lists a required skill of 20 for the Alchemy Tier 1 item, the Mana Well. I did not open every 101 quest, so I cannot promise that all professions use 20. Cooking is different: Wowhead's table lists the Basic Campfire at skill 1.
What do I get?
You learn the Tier 1 camp item and gain 270 experience on the pages I opened. Wowhead's camping guide says items are crafted in pairs and used up when placed, and that features share a one hour cooldown. See professions guide for choosing what to train.

How can the Lore Forever add-on and Willo help with Camping 101 quests?
The free Lore Forever add-on narrates the story of zones, dungeons, bosses, places and people while you play, and a zone's story plays once per character on first arrival. It is fan-made, not affiliated with Blizzard, works on its own and has no internet access. Its narrators are generated voices. For quick questions out loud, Willo is a separate companion app for Windows 10 or 11 and Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 12 or later), free to start with 50 answers a day. She can be wrong, so the quest log and the trainer are the source of truth.
