What camp theme...

[CMCSAVAGE 3,651]

...has the torches where you hitch your horse?

Not sure about others but I have the trader theme and it has the torches

The torches appear to be a feature of large camps. 

 

I was not able to detect any difference in the hitching area between themes. But after I made these observations I learned that I must leave and return before changes to the hitching area took effect when switching camp size, so I'm not terrible confident at the moment.

I only have a small camp and have the torches at the hitching posts

I cannot replicate your results playing on Xbox One.

 

I repeated my experiments, this time with the posse active for large and small camps, and always leaving and returning when changing configurations.

 

Theme made no difference in the hitching area's configuration.

All small camps had 3 hitching posts, stray hay bales, a watering trough, and a crate and barrel with a bucket.

All large camps had 4 hitching posts, a two large stacks of hay with a pitchfork, and torches.

 

All of my camps were in fairly open areas. Perhaps there are custom hitching areas in awkward places that have torches for small camps.

Hmm..I have have all themes and only do a small camp, but haven't been able to get the torches to appear.

I think your camp has to be a large camp.

If that's the case, screw the torches, lol.

Two questions:

1) Is there any benefit to a large camp (particularly when playing solo)?

2) If you own several themes can you freely switch back and forth?

 1) from my personal experience, no. Just costs more & takes up more space.

 

2) Yes. yes you can. Go to the Wilderness Outfitters & you can choose from what you bought.

Cool, thanks!

One of the dailies was to change your camp theme, so I figured I might as well get one I like (the collector) rather than just waste the minimum for 0.5 gold, $700 Is a lot to spend for a new player.

When I have loads of money, I can indulge in a few different looks.
