Campfire

The campfire system was introduced by GameMaster Retser in March 2020 in order to provide protection to adventurers in cold climates. It is useful for weather effects near Icemule Trace and the Hinterwilds. Special flint, tinder, and wood is located in Icemule Trace in the specialty shop Ancients' Campfire as well as the shop Sylvarraend Campfire Supplies in Sylvarraend. This system does not work with any existing woods and will only work with the wood purchased from the store. There are seven different fragrant woods and one base wood. There is also a special survival tote available that can store items compatible with the campfire system and bring them back out again in a fashionable way. The wood stored this way is also weightless. OTS totes have a limit of 1 tinder, 1 flint, and 1 wood weightless.

They provide protection in the room the character resides to the cold weather. It will also slowly decrease the amount of exposure to the elements accumulated. After removing most of the cold weather exposure, the campfire will start to build up protection against the exposure effects. The duration of the campfire is determined by the survival skill of the person placing it. The bonus minutes of protection and total minutes of protection are based on each character's survival skill. Higher survival builds more protection from cold, faster. There is also a ceiling of protection based on survival skill.. The default rate is 2 minutes per 1 minute spent by the fire. Note: The ceiling of the exposure isn't a literal 30/20/15/10 minutes. If the character stays still in the harsher environments that protection will burn away faster and faster the longer the character remains.
