Campfire buffs come on top of these: sit by a campfire for a minute and each object placed around it gives its buff for an hour.

Stats are read from the beta client. Rankings within each slot are ours, best first, for dungeons at the level 20 cap, on what the list says it weighs at the top of the page. Quests marked “in Classic” come from Classic’s data: Forever may have moved their level. Seen something better on a stream or in your bags? Tell us through the note at the bottom right.

The Paladin buffs and nerfs of each beta update are in the patch notes.
