The camp: the rested XP bonus you should never skip

Always level with a camp. The Basic Campfire Kit only needs Cooking 1, so anyone can set it up: it builds a campfire that cooks food and holds up to 3 camp features around it. A character who sits or crafts near the fire for a minute gets the effects of those features.

For levelling, the one to place is the Camp Tent: it gives characters sitting nearby 5% of a level in rested experience, unless their reserve already exceeds that. It needs a campfire close by, and all camp effects share a one-hour cooldown.

So set up the fire and the tent at the start of every session, again once the hour is up, and think of it before you log out. The tent is crafted with Leatherworking 20: if that is not your profession, ask a leatherworker in your guild for one. The other camp features of each profession are detailed in the camp section of our professions by class article.

Recommended professions for the Warlock

Two combos work for levelling this spec: each pairs a crafting profession with the gathering profession that feeds it. Every name opens its full guide.

Pick ONE combo, not two crafting professions. You get two main professions: while levelling, give them to one crafting profession and the gathering profession that feeds it. With two crafting professions you would have to buy every material, and you would struggle to level them.

Tailoring makes 4 of the 5 crafted pieces in our pre-raid selection, including the Void robe only the tailor can wear. Cloth drops from the humanoids you kill, so the second slot goes to Herbalism, whose herbs sell to alchemists.
