Because First aid allows you to heal yourself, a very good thing in WoW, its a really great secondary profession to train in. This WoW First Aid guide will shed some light on the first aid profession and give you some tips as well.

Because first aid can reduce your down time, it’s good for just about every class even healers. The ability to heal your friends will make you a great ally when it comes to groups and raids. Bandages are used by those who use First Aid to heal. These bandages are made from a variety of cloths that you get as you level up. The higher the quality of cloth, the stronger its healing ability will be. I won’t get into making and using bandages in this WoW first aid guide. The list that follows is of the various cloths, their skill level and healing power. As you’ll see heavy bandages heal better.

• Linen: Starting skill level, with a 66 Healing power and (114 healing power for Heavy, meaning heavy bandages) over 6 sec
• Wool: Find a trainer once you’re at level 115, Healing power is 161 (301 for Heavy) over 7 seconds.
• Silk: You’ll need to seek out a trainer at level 150, Healing power is 400 (640 Heavy) over 8 seconds.
• Mageweave: Find a trainer at skill 210, Healing power is 800 (1104 Heavy) over 8 seconds.
• Runecloth: You’ll need a trainer for this at level 260, Healing power is 1360 (2000 Heavy) over 8 seconds.
• Netherweave: You’ll need a book in order to learn how to make this cloth but first you’ll need to be at skill 330, Healing power is 2800 (3400 Heavy) over 8 seconds.
• Frostweave: You’ll need to train with a Grand Master Trainer at skill level 350, healing power is 4800 (5800 Heavy) over 8 seconds.

Heavy bandages, which need 1 extra piece of cloth, will heal better than regular bandages. Books used for training to make different bandages can be found in the wild or bought from various traders. Next we’ll take a look a leveling in the WoW first aid leveling guide. The book you need in order ot level 125-225 is called “Under Wraps”. It’ll cost you 1 gold and can be found in Stromgarde Ruins for Alliance characters and bought from Deneb Walker. For Horde players, it can also be bought from Balai Lok’Wein in Brakenwall Village, Dustwallow Marsh.

Leveling through levels 225-300 will require a special quest. For this quest your character level needs to be 35 and your skill needs to be at level 225. For the quest, Alliance faction should seek out Doctor Gustaf Van Howzen in Theramore Isle. Horde players should find Doctor Gregory Victor in Hammerfall located in the Arathi Highlands.

To become a Master in First Aid, skill 300-375, you’ll need another book. Horde characters should look in Falcon Watch to find it, and Alliance players can go to Temple of Telhamat to find it. You can also get the Netherweave book here.

As a conclusion to the WoW first aid guide I’d like to mention some quick things about healing. Healing can’t take place unless you’re not taking damage and are standing completely still. Although healing stops when attacked or moving, you keep what ever healing has already occured. When your healing you can’t inflict damage on anyone. Give yourself some time to heal by momentarily stunning your enemy. This is best accomplished by using the heavy bandages as opposed to regular ones.
