Camping

Camping does exactly one thing, but it does it as advertised: it lets you log out safely anywhere in the wilderness instead of waiting out the normal logout timer. That's the whole skill — useful for explorers, skippable for everyone else.

How It Works

  1. Buy kindling (provisioners sell it) and a bedroll.
  2. Double-click the kindling. A Camping skill check decides whether the fire lights; on a failure you just try again (the kindling is only consumed on success).
  3. Stay within 7 tiles of the burning campfire. After about 30 seconds you get the message "The camp is now secure."
  4. Unroll and double-click your bedroll: a window offers to log you out — confirm and you are disconnected instantly and safely.

Notes:

  • Campfires burn for about 1½ minutes before going out, so don't dawdle once the camp is secure.
  • Campfires cannot be lit inside dungeons — no safe logout down there.
  • The campfire itself is just a light source; it does not heal, cook or protect you.

Skill Cap and Training

Camping caps at 100.0 (no skill scroll). It trains by lighting fires — buy a stack of kindling and burn through it. In practice even a low skill is fine: a failed attempt costs nothing, and once the fire is lit the secure-camp part never fails. There is little reason to GM this skill.
