A new tab in the Warband Collections pane let players browse and select from their collected campsites. The selected site displayed prominently on the character selection screen, personalizing how players identified with their account roster of characters.
| Campsite Name | Location Description | Unlock Method |
|---|---|---|
| Freywold Spring | Earthen village south of Dornogal | Achievement-based |
| Nightfall Sanctum | Arathi airship above Hallowfall | Achievement-based |
| Gallagio Grand Gallery | Undermine raid site | Achievement-based |

The five campsites covered environments from the Arathi airship above Hallowfall to the Earthen villages of Khaz Algar, giving players visually distinct starting points beyond the original fire.
