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 can be made from either  [Linen Cloth],  [Wool Cloth],  [Silk Cloth],  [Mageweave Cloth],  [Runecloth],  [Netherweave Cloth], or  [Frostweave Cloth] (see list of cloths. Higher quality cloth produces 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 and 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 copper 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.

The Heavy Mageweave, Runecloth and Heavy Runecloth Bandage Skills can be learned from special First Aid quest-givers without charge as your skill increases.

Master

Can be learned only from Outland Master First Aid trainers such as:

Master training no longer requires level 50 (as of 3.0.9) but does require first aid skill of 275. Train under Bryanna Wilson[57.8, 66.4] in Valiance Keep.

Grand Master

Grand Master first aid trainers can be found in any of the four starting quest hubs in Northrend:

Zone Alliance Alliance Horde Horde
Howling Fjord Valgarde Vengeance Landing[79.4, 29.4]
Borean Tundra Valiance Keep[57.8, 66.4] Warsong Hold[41.6, 54.3]

Grand Master training costs 50g and requires a skill of 350.

[Manual: Heavy Frostweave Bandage] is a world drop from any level-75 or higher humanoid creature in Northrend, providing that the player has a skill level of 390 in First Aid.
