	Quests • Recipes • Trainers

First Aid is a secondary profession which enables a player to heal themselves or others, and to remove poisons. First Aid practitioners may create a variety of bandages which can be used to heal any player. Bandages are made from cloth ( [Linen Cloth],  [Wool Cloth],  [Silk Cloth],  [Mageweave Cloth],  [Runecloth],  [Netherweave Cloth], or  [Frostweave Cloth]), with higher quality cloth producing more effective bandages. When applied to a character, bandages cannot be reapplied to that character for sixty seconds, when the "Recently Bandaged" debuff disappears. First Aid practitioners can also make anti-venom consumables from venom sacs dropped by various poisonous monsters (e.g., scorpids, spiders), though they are not as powerful as those created by Alchemists.

Uses

First Aid is highly recommended to all classes as a way of reducing downtime between battles, by quickly restoring health after combat. Even classes with healing spells can benefit, since using a bandage after combat will conserve mana, saving the time otherwise spent drinking.

Bandages, usable in or out of combat, also have a large role in groups and raids. Characters who are not tanking or healing can back away from the battle at hand and apply a bandage to themselves, to help save the healer's mana. However, be warned that being hit (including damage over time spells) while applying a bandage will cancel its channeled heal. A remedy to this problem is to stun, fear, or find some other means to lose the aggro of that monster long enough to get some use out of the bandage.

To begin your first aid career, seek out the First Aid trainer in the starting zone for your race. There are no prerequisites for learning First Aid other than the 10 silver you'll be charged. Once you've acquired the First Aid skill, you can begin making Linen Bandages immediately and your potential skill level will be 75. Thereafter, consult the following table as you progress in First Aid skill.

Training locations

Trainers are located in each city and in several other population centers. Consult the list of trainers later in this article or ask a guard for directions. If the trainer you find can no longer teach you, they will direct you to the next appropriate trainer.

Expert

[Expert First Aid - Under Wraps] used for reaching Expert level, as well as [Manual: Heavy Silk Bandage] and [Manual: Mageweave Bandage] are sold by:

• A Deneb Walker in the Arathi Highlands near Stromgarde Keep ^{[26, 58]}
• H Balai Lok'Wein in the Dustwallow Marsh near Brackenwall Village ^{[36, 30]}

[Manual: Strong Anti-Venom] appears to be a very rare world drop. [Formula: Powerful Anti-Venom] is sold in The Bulwark, Chillwind Camp, and Light's Hope Chapel and requires Honored with Argent Dawn.

Note: The above items are books, not normal trained skills. You or a friend can buy them even if you don't have the requisite First Aid level and use them later. This will save you travel time, if you have the cash available. Neither are they Bind on Pickup, meaning they can be traded and even sold on the Auction House.

•  [35] Triage quest in Theramore, Dustwallow Marsh.
•  [35] Triage quest in Hammerfall, Arathi Highlands.

The Heavy Mageweave, Runecloth and Heavy Runecloth Bandage Skills are taught by the artisan quest-giver without charge as your skill increases.
