World of Warcraft First Aid
Because healing is so important in Warcraft, First Aid is one of the best secondary professions to train for. The following WoW First Aid guide will introduce you to first aid as a 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. This profession will also make you a great ally in any group because you’ll be able to heal others. The First Aid profession uses different bandages for healing. These bandages are made from a variety of cloths that you get as you level up. The higher level cloths will have better healing power. This WoW first aid guide won’t go into actually making and using the bandages. The list that follows is of the various cloths, their skill level and healing power. Heavier bandages, as I mention below, have greater healing power.
- 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: Learn this from a trainer at level 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: For this cloth you’ll need to learn it from a book at skill 330, Healing power is 2800 (3400 Heavy) over 8 seconds.
- Frostweave: Find a Grand Master trainer at level 350, healing power is 4800 (5800 Heavy) over 8 seconds.

Heavy bandages, as I mentioned earlier, have better healing power and require you to use 2 pieces of cloth as opposed to 1, which makes a regular bandage. Books used for training to make different bandages can be found in the wild or bought from various traders. Now in the WoW first aid guide I’ll mention some things about leveling. The book you need in order ot level 125-225 is called “Under Wraps”. If you’re Alliance find it in Stromgarde Ruins or buy it from Deneb Walker, it’ll cost 1 g. For Horde players, it can also be bought from Balai Lok’Wein in Brakenwall Village, Dustwallow Marsh.
In order to level 225 to 300 you’ll need to complete a special quest. In order to do this quest you first need to level to 35 and skill level 225. For the quest, Alliance faction should seek out Doctor Gustaf Van Howzen in Theramore Isle. If your Horde then 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 find the book to make Netherweave here as well.
In conclusion of the WoW first aid guide I want to mention a couple things. Healing can only take place when you’re standing completely still and aren’t taking any damage. Although healing stops when attacked or moving, you keep what ever healing has already occured. Lastly, you can’t cause damage to others while you’re healing. To get around this limitation one tip is to stun your enemies momentarily to give you time to heal. This is best accomplished by using the heavy bandages as opposed to regular ones.
