First Aid helps reduce downtime between battles, as bandages restore health post-combat. Classes with healing spells will also benefit from First Aid, as using a bandage will help conserve mana. Hunter and Warlock players can also apply bandages to their pets and demons respectively.

In groups, First Aid helps conserve healers' mana, as bandages will allow players to heal themselves and each other while they're not actively taking damage.

In PvP encounters, players can use bandages to restore their health while in combat or provide triage to other injured players that are not actively taking damage.

Amazing guide by our pal Ragorism. :)

Comment by Lcpltom

Why does every link in this guide take me to a page advertising wowhead premium instead of the actual item?

Comment by Destroybe

there is also a first aid trainer in the Stormwind Cathedral which is not listed above

Comment by Kactus04

Horde and Alliance triage quests are around the wrong way, should be Horde in Arathi and Alliance in Dustwallow.

Comment by Quarion97

It says "requires at least X cloth", so probably you will need more clothes than the mentioned number.

Comment by ilostmahbucket

Need 80 for wool bandage and 115 for heavy wool bandage.

Comment by RancidCookie

Skill requirements are off...
Heavy Linen Bandage (40)
Wool Bandage (80)
Heavy Wool Bandage (115)
Silk Bandage (150)

Comment by Alotaguts

"Craft Silk Bandage from 151 to 180 skill. ( Silk Cloth x30)" Took me 42 Silk Bandages to get from 151 to 180, so 42 Silk Cloth instead of 30. Most of these are wrong, but overall great guide.

Great guide. Very helpful.
Thanks for the sharing it.

Comment by solkn

Fix the requirements at the top. Just wasted 20 mins.

Comment by endow

Requires MORE mageweave cloth. I got to 256 (not 260). I recommend 10x more mageweave cloth.

Comment by Cappers

I got the quest from Nissa Firestone, first aid trainer in Ironforge.

Comment by assie

I was not able to pick-up Triage in Theramore at level 36 with 225 first aid, I had to go back to Ironforge and pick-up Alliance Trauma first.

Comment by Blunttman

Every profession guide I have seen from wowhead for classic has been awful, what's going on with that?

The class guides on the other hand have been very well done.

Comment by Nemises

The Triage quest to get skill 225 is a GROUP Quest.

If you are in a group with another person who needs the quest then they get the option to do the quest as well as long as they have accepted the first part before the other person begins the quest.

This makes it a lot easier as you only have to do 15 patients between you and patients wont have time to get critically ill and die.

Comment by Gulanga

So to clarify something.

Doctor Gregory Victor does not show up as a trainer of first aid.
You won't have any indication that he can teach you anything more after the Triage quest other than his dialogue.

You must reach 240 First Aid skill before you have the option to learn Heavy Mageweave Bandage.
The same is true for Runecloth Bandage and Heavy Runecloth Bandage, at 260 and 290 respectively.

Actual Results

Making Wool Bandage from 80 to 115 used 45 Wool Cloth

Making Heavy Wool Bandage from 116 to 150 used 82 Wool Cloth

Comment by woneda3448

This Classic WoW First Aid leveling guide will show you the fastest way how to get your First Aid skill up from 1 to 300. Since First Aid does not take up one of the two profession slots, every player can get it without penalty. It's recommended to all classes as a way of reducing downtime between battles, by quickly restoring health after combat. It is highly recommended for melee classes without healing abilities.

Comment by JesterJones

I have done this guide about 5 times now, and I tend to use somewhere between 20 to 30 extra bandages than what is expected. It seems as some parts of it expect you to have a 100% skill up rate even when you are leveling something at yellow and/or green levels.

Comment by Kfos

Guide doesn't tell you where the first aid vendors are for 125+. Just has a link to the same guide.

Comment by dianero

i can't find a way to increase my level of first aid from 225 to 240 for the heavy mageweave and when i went to theramore to see about the dr. helping, he offered me triage at my 225 and yes, i boosted a mage from 22 to 58. i'm wasting my mageweave and not getting anywhere. the trainer at the cathedral is not offering an upgrade. i wanted to level my skills before i went into outland

Comment by Mileenah

I completed the doctor's quest to save the variously injured soldiers in Theramore, and he did NOT offer to increase my skill past my capped 225. I had to go to Stormwind where the first aid trainer in the Cathedral of Light DID let me train Artisan. I am not sure if it changed with WotLK pre-patch, but that is how to get Artisan now after completing the Triage quest.

Anyone know what the cooldown is for the First Aid Manuals that you buy?
