Camp

As you progress through Darkest Dungeon you'll often need to stop to build a Camp. When you have Firewood in your inventory, you can right-click it to build a Camp.

Camping consists of two phases, the food phase and skill phase.

In the food phase you must choose how much food is eaten.

You can eat:
 * 0 food and take 20% damage and +15 stress
 * 2 food and have no effect
 * 4 food and gain 10% health
 * 8 food and gain 25% health and -10% stress

Keep in mind that things that modify how much they need to eat affects the cost here as well. 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. Someone with a tapeworm, however, will make the feast cost 10. Afflicted heroes can sometimes refuse to eat (or receive camping buffs), suffering further stress and health damage.

After that the skill phase will start where you can then use Camping Skills. Each skill costs a certain amount of time points of which you have a total of 12 to spend.

Skills can heal heroes, lower their stress level or buff them.

Each class has their own skill sets. There are also shared ones which can be used by all heroes: Note: 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.
 * Encourage - (Time Cost: 2) Reduce stress by 15 for one companion.
 * Wound Care - (Time Cost: 2) Heal 15%, remove target bleeding and blight for one companion.
 * Pep Talk - (Time Cost: 2) -15% Stress damage for one companion for 4 combats.

What skills a hero can perform can be changed in the Survivalist building in town. Once your are out of time points you are ready to sleep. By clicking the rest button you will end the camping time.

After the camping there is the possibility of a Night-Time Ambush.

Camping will also replenish the Torch level to 100.
