WoW Forever Boosted Rest buff: what it gives you
Boosted Rest is the camp effect you get after resting for 1 minute at a
campfire that has a Camp Tent beside it. The tent raises your rested XP to 5% of a level, and it does nothing for a character that already holds more than that.
The
quest text calls it the Boosted Rest buff. Blizzard's patch notes call the same effect a debuff, because for the hour it runs, no camp can top up your rested XP again.

Build your Starter Pack →How to get Boosted Rest, step by step
- Find a fire with a tent. A Camp Tent is crafted with
Leatherworking 20 and set up at a Basic
Campfire. Each player adds 1 object, and that fire holds up to 3. - Rest next to it. Sit, take a chair, sleep, lie down or kneel close to the fire.
- Stay for 1 minute. You can buff other players, cast or craft while the minute runs.
- Check your rested XP. If it was under 5% of a level, it now stands at 5%, and Boosted Rest starts its 1-hour timer.
Every camping feature shares that 1-hour cooldown, so the next top-up comes once the hour is over. The objects a campfire can hold, profession by profession, are in our WoW Forever camping guide.
The Great Outdoors: the quest that asks for Boosted Rest
The Great Outdoors is among the 1st
quests you meet after your starting area, given by an NPC who teaches camping. On the Teldrassil side that NPC is Lyreena, and the objective names her
campfire.
- Objective 1. Sit near the campfire.
- Objective 2. Gain the Boosted Rest buff by staying seated while the 60 seconds count down.
- If the sit does not count. Type /sit in chat while you are already seated, then wait out the 60 seconds again.
Her follow-up quests move on to early professions and crafting, which is where a Camp Tent of your own begins.
What Boosted Rest is worth while you level
Rested XP doubles the experience from kills until the rested pool is spent, while
quests pay their normal XP. A top-up to 5% of a level therefore adds up to 5% of a level in bonus kill XP, once every hour at a camp.
Offline rest builds the bigger pool. In an inn or a capital city, rested XP grows by 5% of a level every 8 hours, up to 150% of a level. The Well Rested ranks of the Legacy system raise that cap and the build speed.
How rested XP fits the fastest route to 60 is laid out in our WoW Forever power leveling guide.
Leveling to 60 without the camp breaks
Our 1 to 60 leveling plays the
quest route on your character for you. 2 boosters in shifts of 10 to 12 hours reach 60 in 5 to 7 days, and 1 booster playing 12 hours a day takes 10 to 14.
If you would rather level yourself, a Pro can coach you by voice and screen share, with no login to your account.
