Your Avowed Party Camp acts as your base of operations between adventures, providing you with a place to rest, upgrade and store your gear, and hang out with your companions. However, you can't just set up a camp anywhere in Avowed as you can only camp at giant Adra crystals poking out around each region. Finding these crystal camp sites should be a priority as you explore, so here's what you need to know about discovering Party Camps in Avowed and everything you can do while camping.

As you explore The Living Lands, look out for the large Adra Waystones that can be found scattered across the landscape, which look like giant green rocks with a purple haze coming off them. These form the base for each Avowed Party Camp, and as there's no cost for setting up a camp you should do so whenever you see the opportunity, as they provide another resting place and also become Avowed fast travel points to help you get around more quickly.

To use an Avowed Party Camp, you can either approach the area on foot and follow the prompt that appears to set up camp, or open your map and fast travel to the location directly. Either way, once you set up and enter the Party Camp it becomes a self-contained area that no enemies can enter, the time switches to night, and you are fully healed once you rest – meaning you can save your health potions and food for when they are more urgently needed.

As you walk around your Party Camp in Avowed there are various elements you can interact with, which all have useful functions:

  • Companions: If a speech bubble is hovering over them they have something to talk to you about, and conversations can help with Avowed romance progress. Companions can also offer training to permanently improve your attributes.
  • Totem Shrine: Used to display Totems Fragments and completed Totems. You can activate one Totem on your shrine at a time, like the Avowed Totem of Rightful Rulership and Avowed Totem of Defiance, to provide some powerful effects.
  • Workbench: Can be used to upgrade items in Avowed, improving your weapons and armor.
  • Enchanting Station: Can be used to improve or augment the enchantment on Unique items.
  • Main Camp Tent: Can be used to access Companion Outfits and change appearance in Avowed for your party members.
  • Party Stash: Can be used to store and retrieve items – you can send items from your inventory to the Party Stash at any time, to avoid Encumbrance.
  • Cauldron: Lets you use food items and ingredients you've collected to create meals that can be consumed from your inventory to provide temporary buffs.

Once you've finished up in your Avowed Party Camp, you can walk out the camp perimeter or interact with the giant Adra crystal then accept the prompt that appears to rest for the night and exit the camp. If you fast traveled to the camp, you'll also be given the option to return to your previous location for an easy return journey.
