WoW First Aid Guide
First aid should not be ignored by any player. No matter how good you are, odds are that you are going to suffer some type of damage to your character at one time or another. If you do not know first aid, you are going to have a much more difficult time healing after a battle. Here are some tips on how to quickly and successfully perform first aid not only on yourself but on other characters as well.
The first aid skill is considered a secondary skill, which means that you can merge it with any other profession. It’s probably the best secondary skill you can learn and can really come in handy. Here’s how to get started.
To start off, there are two main components or items that are required. Bandages or anti-venoms are required for all first aid skills. When you first get started, you’ll get rudimentary bandages, but you will need to find anti-venom or complete quests to get that exact item. There are a number of kinds of anti-venom that are extremely useful and different situations will call for different types of this item.
You will not have the best bandages yet, because they will only be available once you advance in skill, but they are better than nothing. To start out go to your local trainer to get an apprenticeship. You can always go back and learn more, but this will get you started.
Once your skill level is 150 you will need to buy the Expert First Aid – Under Wraps item. If you are an Alliance, this can be located in the Arathi Highlands. Horde players can find theirs in Dustwallow Marsh. Once you obtain this item, you will be able to progress past skill level 150. Your goal is to get to 375, so by this point, you are well on your way.
When you achieve a skill level of 225, you will need to complete the Triage Quest which will swiftly bump you up to 300. Keep in mind that once you reach 240 you can go back to your trainer to learn advanced bandage wrapping to quickly move up in skill level.
Anti-venoms are accessible as you advance in skill. At skill level 80, you will be able to get your first one from your trainer. This costs about 1 silver and 50 copper, depending on where you get it. After you hit skill level 130, you will be able to purchase the strong anti-venom which typically sells for about 2 silver and 50 copper.
