WoW 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 share some tips and advice on this profession.
First Aid is fantastic for any class, even healers, because of its potential to reduce your down time. This profession will also make you a great ally in any group because you’ll be able to heal others. Bandages are the tools of the trade when it comes to First Aid in WoW. 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. 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: 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: Find a Grand Master trainer at level 350, healing power is 4800 (5800 Heavy) over 8 seconds.

Heavy bandage, which require 2 pieces of cloth, have better healing power than regular bandages. To find the books I mention for training you can look either in the wild or buy them in various locations. I’ll talk a little now in the WoW first aid guide about leveling your first aid skill. One book you’ll need for leveling through skill levels 125-225 is the “Under Wraps” book. It’ll cost you 1 gold and can be found in Stromgarde Ruins for Alliance characters and bought from Deneb Walker. Or, Balai Lok’Wein in Brakenwall Village, Dustwallow Marsh will sell it to Horde players.
In order to level 225 to 300 you’ll need to complete a special quest. For this quest your character level needs to be 35 and your skill needs to be at level 225. Alliance, find Doctor Gustaf Van Howzen in Theramore Isle for the quest. Horde should seek out Doctor Gregory Victor in Hammerfall which is 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. The Netherweave book I mentioned earlier can also be found here.
As a conclusion to the WoW first aid guide I’d like to mention some quick things about healing. For healing to occur you’ll need to be standing still and make sure you’re not taking any damage. If you end up taking some damage or moving while healing then you keep the healing you’ve gotten but any further healing stops. When your healing you can’t inflict damage on anyone. One way to solve this problem is to stun an enemy in order to give you time to heal. This is best accomplished by using the heavy bandages as opposed to regular ones.
