WoW First Aid Guide

There isn’t a class that should let First Aid slip by them…but many, especially healers do. First Aid is an indispensable skill that can literally save a raid from a wipe. If you’ve slacked off don’t worry you can always buy all the materials now to level up your First Aid. If you are as broke as a lvl 4 NOOB CHECK OUT THIS GUIDE and quit asking people to borrow you money.

First Aid is a secondary profession, meaning anyone and everyone can and should have it. It is extremely helpful in both PvE and PvP, as you can almost always find time to heal yourself in both situations. First aid is also relatively easy to powerlevel. Here is how to get from 1-375 in first aid.

Materials

First you'll need the materials. Here are the minimums & recommended:

150-160 Linen Cloth
125-160 Wool Cloth

70-100 Runecloth

Artisan (Character Level 35 Required)

Ensure that you have at least 75 Mageweave and 70 Runecloth.
If you're Horde:
Go to Arnok in The Valley of Spirits in Ogrimmar, talk to him.
Follow his directions and go to Doctor Gregory Victor in Hammerfall (Arathi Highlands)
You will receive a quest called Triage.
If you're Alliance:
Go to Nissa Firestone in Ironforge, talk to her.
Follow her directions and go to Doctor Gustaf VanHowzen in Theramore (Dustwallow Marsh)
You will receive a quest called Triage.
Complete Triage:
Basically you must heal as many patients as possible using the bandages they give you. Heal them in this order: critically injured, badly injured and then just injured. If you get to a critically injured patient long after they spawned you will likely fail anyways, so don't waste your time. I recommend hitting 'v' to enable visible hp bars so you can see when patients spawn. Get in a position where you can see all 6 cots and have at it. Be quick, target your next patient before you're done healing the current one.

On February 26th, 2008 Guest says:

Ok so here is my situation. I am at skill 269 for First Aid. I have done the Triage quest. I am unable to get the quest again and when I go back to Theramore, I do not see Doctor Gustaf VanHowzen. How can I become an Artisan in First Aid? I do not have the option to bandage Runecloth.

You might want to change the

On March 1st, 2008 Guest says:

You might want to change the numbers of cloths/level ratio. Seems that things have changed. Even if the F/A skill was on yellow, it cost me about +/ 15 cloth or more to reach the levels.

I love the guide though.. very VERY useful!

I can't get past 75 in first

On March 25th, 2008 Guest says:

I can't get past 75 in first aid. I can make linen and heavy linen bandages but it doesnt matter how many i make, my skill wont pass 75. I've tried the first aid trainer in thunder bluff as horde and there is nothing else to learn with only 75 skill. I need 80 to learn wool bandage. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas? I'm a level 32 undead mage.

On April 4th, 2008 Guest says:

And you have done what the guide says? No.

You haven't spoken to the FA trainer orgrimmar or w/e town it is on the Alliance side. Start reading, less testing, less whining. Great Guide mate, keep it up. Unfortunatly, there should be some sort of intelligence test on these stuff.

Okay, it's pretty clear that the guide is good, but the numbers have changed. Anyone care to post the new numbers? It would make the guide top notch again, and let me know just how much power lvling it would cost on my server.

yes, the cloth to skill

On May 17th, 2008 Guest says:

yes, the cloth to skill point ratio is just not accurate in this guide. The author wrote this with the assumption that you get a skill point from every bandage you make. Not true! There will be times where you make 4 to 5 bandages before getting a point. So with this said, be prepared to collect a lot more cloth than this guide suggests.

I followed the

Yeah, Undead will find it

On June 7th, 2008 Guest says:

Yeah, Undead will find it harder becauese they tear the cloth too often with those rotting bones...

On June 8th, 2008 Guest says:

I am a lvl 38 horde. I got the quest for artisan first aid and completed it. My first aid level is 237/300. I go back to the doctor and i cant get the option to learn anything else. The highest thing I can make at the moment is mageweave bandages. The doctor in arathi tells me

You have learned all that I am able to teach you at this time, Doctor . Return to me when your practice has expanded and I shall train you in the ways of the more advanced medicinal arts.

So how can I learn heavy mageweave, runecloth, and heavy runecloth bandages?

amounts are slightly

On June 12th, 2008 Guest says:

amounts are slightly optimistic. came up short in skill lvl even after buying more cloth then recomended. had to get more, but information is great other thatn that =D keep up the great work
