The Great Outdoors is the first camping quest in Dun Morogh. WoW Forever added campfires that give a rest bonus, and this quest shows you how they work: you sit by a fire until a buff appears. It is quick and opens the Camping 101 quests.

Step by step

  1. Finish The Adventurer so Eric Brighthammer offers the quest.
  2. Take The Great Outdoors from Eric in Kharanos.
  3. Sit down next to Eric’s Basic Campfire. Use /sit or the sit key.
  4. Stay seated until you get Boosted Rest. Both objectives tick off when the buff appears.
  5. Turn in to Eric and take the Camping 101 quests.

Rewards

About 410 XP. ForeverDB does not record an item reward. The real reward is the knowledge: any campfire works the same way later, and our camping guide shows how to get more out of it.

Tips / common problems

  • Sit, do not stand. The quest checks that you are seated near the fire.
  • Stay close. Sit right next to Eric’s fire, not at the edge of the camp.
  • Other starting zones. ForeverDB lists this quest in Dun Morogh. Our camping guide reports camping intro quests in other starting zones too, but we have not checked their names there.

Questions & answers

How do you complete The Great Outdoors?

Sit down next to Eric's Basic Campfire in Kharanos and stay seated until you get the Boosted Rest buff. Both objectives then complete and you can turn the quest in to Eric Brighthammer.

The Great Outdoors is not completing. What is wrong?

The objective asks you to sit near the fire, so standing next to it is not enough. Type /sit or press the sit key close to Eric's fire and stay seated until the Boosted Rest buff appears.

What comes after The Great Outdoors?

Three Camping 101 quests: Herbalism, Skinning and Cooking. They introduce the camping system and the professions that feed it.
