Camping Kit gone after raid

[Sneakimus]

I noticed that my Elite Camping Kit disappeared when I was raided.

I have read that camping kits can be destroyed, but the Elite Camping Kit is supposed to be one of the most durable kits. Yet, when I was raided by three low-tier Vernworth goblins that died in one hit, the kit was completely gone after the raid. In fact, I never even saw it being destroyed during the raid. The fight just started around an empty campfire with no tent in sight.

Is this a bug?

Or do all camp kits get automatically destroyed when raided, which means that the quality of the camp kit actually does not matter at all?

I have to correct me:
It is RNG if a raid happen it can be destroyed. Buy or find a new one. All spare kits should go into your stash, just in case.

It's pure rng if a kit gets "destroyed" ( removed after raid start ) or not. Higher tier kits only have a lower chance of that happening.

So one answer is saying they're always destroyed, and the other is saying it is RNG based with an additional modifier related to the kit's quality.

Could either of you supply a source so I know which is right?

it's a tip that pops up in loading screens sometimes.

I used an elite camping kit and got raided 10 times or so before it was gone.
I also had basic kits which lasted more than 1 raid.

The RNG is the most plausible theory. The higher the quality, the less chance the kit is destroyed during a raid whatever the mobs' level of threat.

It's just a dice roll. Elite has a pretty good chance to being intact, but considering that there are only two of them in the game you should still make a copy to keep in your stash.

The source is that I've both lost and not lost camping kits when getting raided. So it's up to you whether or not you want to believe that or not.

You guys have been raided?

Bad rng. I make sure to always have an extra elite kit to make a forgery because they do definitely last longer.

It is RNG. If you get Raided then the odds of it breaking depends on the type of kit, but even the Elite ones break pretty easily. I'd advise always bringing two Camping Kits with you everywhere in case one gets wrecked, and if one does get wrecked then it is best to start heading home. The backup kit should probably be one of the camouflaged ones.
