Can You Get Simple Wood From the Auction House?
Yes. You can also purchase Simple Wood from the Auction House if you don’t want to travel around looking for an NPC vendor.
Visit an Auction House in a major city and search for Simple Wood. Check the available listings and compare their prices before purchasing.
The Auction House can be convenient when you need several pieces quickly. However, player listings may cost more than buying directly from an NPC vendor.
If you are not in a hurry, purchasing Simple Wood from a regular vendor is usually the cheaper option.
How to Use Simple Wood in WoW: Forever
One of the main reasons players look for Simple Wood is to craft a Basic Campfire Kit.
Camping is a new system in World of Warcraft: Forever that allows players to create shared campsites. Other adventurers can contribute profession-based objects, allowing everyone nearby to benefit from useful buffs and services.
To craft your first Basic Campfire Kit, follow these steps:
- Visit a Cooking Trainer in a nearby town.
- Learn the Cooking profession.
- Make sure you have at least 1 Simple Wood in your inventory.
- Open your Professions window.
- Select Cooking and find the Basic Campfire Kit recipe.
- Craft the kit and place it in your inventory.
- Use the Basic Campfire Kit to place a campsite in the outdoor world.
The Basic Campfire Kit recipe is available with Cooking at skill level 1, so you don’t need to spend time leveling the profession before crafting it.
Other Recipes That Require Simple Wood
Simple Wood isn’t only used for campfires. Several other professions use it in their recipes, including Enchanting, Skinning, Tailoring, First Aid, and Fishing.
Some examples include:
- Enchanted Lute: Requires Simple Wood and Strange Dust.
- Camp Chair: Requires 2 Simple Wood and Light Leather.
- Novice’s Practice Wand: Uses Simple Wood as a crafting material.
- Fishing Rack: Requires 2 Simple Wood alongside other materials.
- Greenhouse: Requires 2 Simple Wood and additional herbalism materials.
- Trapper’s Workbench: Requires 2 Simple Wood, Heavy Leather, and an Iron Bar.
Keep a few extra pieces in your bank if you regularly work on professions. This saves you from making another trip to a vendor whenever you want to craft something.
Simple Wood vs. Star Wood and Thick Logs
Don’t confuse Simple Wood with the other wood materials used in Forever’s Camping system.
Different campfire upgrades require different materials:
- Simple Wood: Used for the Basic Campfire Kit.
- Star Wood: Used for the Journeyman Campfire Kit.
- Thick Logs: Used for the Expert Campfire Kit.
These materials are not interchangeable. Buying Simple Wood will not help you craft the upgraded campfire kits.
Check the recipe requirements before purchasing materials, especially when working towards a larger campsite.
