First Aid, together with Fishing and Cooking belongs to secondary professions in World of Warcraft. First Aid was never really popular because it is not fun to level or profitable. However, all pro players, especially dps classes had a maximum skill in First Aid since they had use of it while in combat.
First Aid is usually a need for any class which doesn’t have healing abilities such as Rogues, Hunters, Mages, Warlocks, Warriors and Death Knights, even though the healing classes can also have a good use of it. What is great about it is that you are able to use your First Aid skill even in PVP. Click here for more on WoW First Aid Leveling Guide
What can you do with First Aid?
With your First Aid skill you will be using bandages in order to heal yourself or remove a poison effect. The First Aid abilities can be used when you are damaged. As mentioned before it can be used both in PVP and PVE.
How can I apply bandages?
You are able to create bandages that will be stored in your inventory in stacks of twenty. Target yourself or another player you wish to heal and click on a bandage. If you move the effect a bandage has will stop and keep in mind that if you are healing another person, he/she needs to be in range. Once you apply a bandage to a character, you cannot reapply it to that same character for around sixty seconds. You will be able to see the “Recently Bandaged” debuff. When that debuff disappears you will be able to apply the new bandage. For the best leveling guide click here: Ultimate Guide WoW
The needed materials
In order to make bandages you will need cloth. As you progress through game and level up you will encounter different types of cloth. You can make bandages from any type of cloth if your skill level is adequate. Cloth drops from humanoids and it is the most common drop you will encounter during leveling and therefore getting your First Aid skill to the maximum won’t be a problem. However, if you are already level 80 and somehow missed leveling this skill you will have two choices – buying the cloth on the Auction House or grinding it. If you are going for the grinding the best place for that could be low level instances and as mentioned before, groups of humanoid npcs.
Where to begin?
You should start by visiting any of the First Aid trainers in the major cities. The first trainer you need to seek could be found in the starting zones for each race. There are no requirements on training the First Aid profession, just the starting fee which is 10 copper. Linen is the first cloth you will come across and with it you will be able to progress 75 skill level. From there on you can use different types of cloth to skill up even more. The First Aid trainers later on could be found in any capital city. If the trainers you come across cannot teach you the skill you need, they will surely direct you to another trainer who can.
Are there any First Aid quests that you can do?
Yes, there is. In order to become an Artisan in the First Aid you will need to complete a quest called “Triage”. The objective of this quest is to save fifteen patients before some die with the use of special Triage Bandages. Alliance can pick up this quest in Theramore, while Hordies can pick it up in Hammerfall. If you would like more on WoW Leveling, click here: WoW Guides
