The Great Outdoors is an early camping tutorial quest in WoW Forever, but a bug can prevent players from completing its first objective. Even sitting beside the campfire for an extended period might not register any progress. Fortunately, there's a simple workaround that lets you complete the quest without abandoning it or starting over.

How to Fix The Great Outdoors Quest Bug in WoW Forever
To fix The Great Outdoors quest in WoW Forever, stand near the campfire and type /sit in chat. While your character is already sitting, enter /sit a second time. This workaround should trigger the bugged "Sit near the campfire" objective.
Follow these steps:
- Go to the campfire associated with The Great Outdoors quest.
- Open your chat window and type /sit.
- Wait until your character is sitting beside the campfire.
- Without standing up, type /sit again.
- Check your quest tracker to confirm that "Sit near the campfire" is complete.
The important detail is entering the command a second time while your character is already seated. Simply sitting beside the fire normally may not register the objective.
How to Get the Boosted Rest Buff in The Great Outdoors
The Great Outdoors has two objectives:
- Sit near the campfire.
- Gain the Boosted Rest buff.
Once you've triggered the first objective using the double /sit workaround, remain near the campfire and wait approximately one full minute.
After that time, you should receive the Boosted Rest buff, which provides a small amount of Rested XP.
It's important not to confuse these two steps. The double /sit command addresses the bugged sitting objective, while the one-minute wait is required for the camping benefit.
Why Is The Great Outdoors Quest Not Completing?
The problem appears to involve the quest failing to recognize the initial sitting action correctly. Multiple players have encountered the issue, including those who remained seated for a full minute without receiving credit.
Both Blizzard forum users and other community reports have identified the second /sit command as a successful workaround.
What if Sitting for One Minute Doesn't Work?
If "Sit near the campfire" remains incomplete, try entering /sit again while you're already sitting. Waiting longer by itself doesn't address the reported problem with the first objective.
If the sitting objective is complete but "Gain the Boosted Rest buff" remains unfinished, make sure you've allowed the full minute for the camping effect.
If neither objective progresses after following these steps, the available reports don't establish another reliable workaround.
For most affected players, the solution is straightforward: sit beside the campfire, enter /sit again while seated, and wait one minute for Boosted Rest. That should allow you to finish The Great Outdoors and continue your adventure.
