Additional camping skills for each hero can be purchased at the Survivalist. Before you stop to camp, you can right click any hero to select which camp skills you'd like to use, assuming you've trained more than the starting 3. Skills can heal heroes, lower their stress level, or buff them. Each skill costs a certain amount of Respite points, of which you have a total of 12 (by default) to spend. Afflicted heroes can sometimes refuse to eat (or receive camping buffs), suffering further stress and health damage.Īfter that, the skill phase will start, where you can use Camping Skills. Someone with a tapeworm, however, will make the feast cost 10. Someone with Stress Fasting, for instance, won't require any food if over 50 stress, lowering the feast cost from 8 to 6 and so on. Keep in mind that diseases and quirks which modify how much a hero needs to eat will affect the cost here as well.

If you have lost one or more members of your party, the required food for each tier is reduced by one quarter for each dead party member (thus, if you have a party of three, you only need six food rather than eight).

8 food and gain 25% health and -10 stress.

0 food and take 20% damage and +15 stress.

In the food phase, you must choose how much food is eaten. Epic expeditions in the Courtyard don't give you any Firewood to start with, but you can loot Firewood from certain curios to start a camp.Ĭamping consists of two phases: the food phase and the skill phase. Medium expeditions start you with one, Long gives you two, Exhausting gives you four. You are only given Firewood at the start of lengthy expeditions. A room with a battle must have that battle completed before you can commence camping.

You can only camp in cleared rooms, though this also includes rooms with curios or treasure, and even Secret Rooms. When you have Firewood in your inventory, you can right-click it to build a Camp. As you progress through Darkest Dungeon, you'll often need to stop to build a Camp.
