At a glance

Cooking makes the campfires themselves: the better the fire, the more camp objects it holds.

Camping rules

A campfire can be placed almost anywhere in the world, except in cities or too close to another fire. Campfires come from Cooking.
Each craft yields two camp objects, used up when you place them.
You need the skill to place an object, but the whole group gets its bonus: stay near the fire for one minute, seated, on a chair, asleep, lying down or kneeling.
The bonuses mimic class buffs and do not stack with them.
A fire lasts 10 minutes (one-hour cooldown); camp objects share a one-hour cooldown.

Makes

Cooking is a secondary profession, but it makes the campfires: without it, no camp. Its food also raises the experience you earn from monsters.

Food buffs raise the experience you earn from monsters.
Campfires are made with Cooking: the basic fire holds 3 camp objects, the Journeyman one 5, the Expert one 10.
Around level 5, the quest The Great Outdoors teaches you to sit by the fire, then to learn Cooking to make your own campfire.
The Azeroth Commerce Authority sells six drink recipes, from skill 25 to 250.

For every profession

The system stays the Classic one: fixed reagents, items with fixed stats.
Over 600 new recipes, across every profession and level range; many old ones were reworked.
Recipe tracking (reagents shown like a quest objective), linking your whole profession book in chat, filters by skill-up, available materials or equipment slot.
Two primary professions, plus the three secondary ones: Cooking, First Aid and Fishing.
