Hi, good . Do you look up to those people we know as doctors who have taken the Hippocratic Oath to heal and save the wounded and afflicted? Would you like to do this yourself? While reading this WoW First Aid Guide, you can learn how within the world of Azeroth!

It cannot be said enough times; World of Warcraft is a bloody game. After all, "war" is in the title. You and your fellow players will inevitably incur damage and require the healing touch. First Aid is a secondary profession that enables you to apply bandages to yourself and others.

These bandages are fashioned from Frostweave Cloth, Linen Cloth, Mageweave Cloth, Netherweave Cloth, Runecloth, or Silk Cloth. The better the cloth, the more effective the bandage is. Bandages may only be applied every sixty seconds on the same character.

A terrific benefit of knowing First Aid is not only the skill needed to heal, but you can perform it with items crafted from ingredients you acquire while killing monsters. These ingredients may seem unworthy of keeping, but hang on to them. First Aid always comes in handy in combat.

Downtime is certainly not a concept exclusive to a WoW First Aid Guide. Everyone knows that you joined this online game to quest and to fight, not nurse your wounds and wait. As we stated, you will get hurt out there, and you will need to heal. Performing First Aid reduces the time needed to heal, so you can get back out there and tussle, making it a highly useful secondary profession for all character classes.

What’s that, you say? You already have a class with healing powers and you don’t see the need for First Aid? Well, consider that a bandage applied following a battle conserves mana.

Bandages are useful in groups and raids as well. If you are not tanking or healing, you can sneak away for a moment and apply a bandage to yourself, leaving the healer to use their mana elsewhere. If you are hit while applying the bandage, however, its effects will be nullified. A good method is to stun the monster to lose its aggro for long enough to benefit from the bandage.

Of course, you need training before running around saving lives. Head for the city, and if you can’t find a trainer, ask a guard. Once you begin training, you can start leveling up your skill, but you will need an Expert First Aid Book if you wish to proceed past 125.

You will then need to purchase manuals teaching you how to craft bandages from specific cloths. Subsequent training in Artisan First Aid is received from a doctor. Eventually, you will learn Master First Aid and even Grand Master First Aid, enabling your healing skills to soar.

It is apparent from this WoW First Aid Guide that this secondary profession is one of the most sought after and valuable skills to possess on Azeroth. So buy your manuals, find a doctor, and start saving lives on the battlefield!

I hope you found this WoW First Aid Guide helpful.
