Have you ever noticed that there are certain areas in Diablo 4 that let you stoke a Campfire? They’re not just for show. There are plenty of interesting discoveries and activities to partake in throughout Sanctuary. If you see a Campfire that you can interact with, don’t ignore it. We’ll explain everything about how the Campfires work in Diablo 4.

What are the Campfires for in Diablo 4

Throughout your time playing Diablo 4, you’ll inevitably come across a Legion event. At these Legion events, you’ll probably find a Campfire, and if you stoke it, you can get some interesting buffs. If you notice a strange white icon on your map with a ticking time bar on it, this is an overworld Legion event. You’ll only have five minutes or less to make your way there, and you’ll meet up with other players online.

You should get to a Legion event before it starts, because you’ll want to interact with the Campfire. But how do the Campfires actually work in Diablo 4? Using them will give you a bonus for when you’re knee-deep in the fight ahead. Once you stoke the fire, your character will get an XP bonus, to a max of 15%. This way, once the Legion event finally begins, you’ll be able to earn a lot more XP than you originally would.

The one downside to this Campfire is the fact that there is a range on it. To receive the bonus, try to fight nearby enough. How close do you have to be? Well, looking above your hotbar, you’ll notice a spot where buffs appear.

If you’re able to read your Campfire bonus, that means you’re in its radius. Also, notice the number on top of it? The sooner you get to the event, and the longer you stoke the fire before the event starts, the closer you’ll get to that full 15% buff.
