Template:Tocleft Players practicing First Aid may create a variety of bandages which can be used to heal themselves or others. Bandages are made from cloth like linen, wool, silk, and mageweave, with higher quality fabrics making more effective bandages, and require minimum skill levels to use. First Aid practicioners can also make anti-venom potions, though they are not as powerful as those created by Alchemists.

Bandages are usually used by classes that cannot heal themselves through magic, like Rogues or Warriors. Having bandages to use can reduce the amount of downtime these classes face when soloing. Bandages can also be used in group or raid situations to lighten the load on main healers by allowing players to heal themselves and others quickly without using mana.

Bandages can be applied both in and out of combat, but the bandaging process is interrupted when a player takes damage in battle--though it can be used effectively after stunning or disabling an opponent. Players can only apply a bandage once every 60 seconds.

Requirements

None.

Suggested Classes

First Aid is almost essential for any Non-healer class to learn as a secondary profession. Healer classes may choose to learn First Aid to reduce downtime for health regeneration without using up mana.

All Classes involved in upper-level raiding, starting as low as UBRS, should have maxed out their first aid. First aid helps greatly in fights such as Kurinaxx, Moam, Shazzrah, Ragnaros, Razorgore, and many more.

Warlocks have a skill, Spell shadow burningspirit [Life Tap], that converts health into mana. Having First Aid will essentially let you convert any cloth you find into mana.
