Quest:Triage/Artisan First Aid quest guide

From WoWWiki

A guide to doing the following quests:

•  [45] Triage (Alliance)
•  [45] Triage (Horde)

This is the final step towards Artisan level First Aid. You must be at least level 35 and have First Aid skill of 225 to begin this quest.

The quest is to bandage 15 patients before 6 die (fade).

1. Visit the Trauma Surgeon for your faction:
   • A: Go to Theramore Isle and see Doctor Gustaf VanHowzen <Trauma Surgeon> in the far right corner of the keep where the soldiers practice with combat dummies.
   • H: Go to Hammerfall and see Doctor Gregory Victor <Trauma Surgeon>.
     
2. Its best to position yourself just beyond the trauma surgeon, between him and the bunk beds, before you take the quest. Also have a spare command slot available for the bandages he gives you, so you can just press a number to apply the bandages.
   
3. When you take the quest, the surgeon will give you [Triage Bandage] (20 charges). After taking the bandages, drag them from your backpack to the command slot you set aside as fast as possible and look for injured soldiers on the bunk beds. If you are positioned right, you can bandage them without moving or only moving a little.
   
4. Bandage the patients in this priority order:
   • Critically Injured (Forsaken)
   • Badly Injured (Troll)
   • Injured (Orc)

   If there are multiples of the same type try to bandage the first one that you remember appearing because they will fade first.
   

5. Click on the patient and immediately hit the number for your bandage. While you are bandaging, look around (try holding down left-mouse-button and move the mouse around) for the next patient to bandage in priority order.
   
6. As soon as you finish bandaging a patient, try to click and bandage the next priority patient which you should have figured out while bandaging the previous one. If you have to move, try to do it quickly (click both mouse buttons while looking at the patient).
   
7. Keep doing steps 5 and 6 while remembering the priority in step 4. Eventually the surgeon will show a gold ? and you're done. You should have 5 bandages left.

Thats pretty much the system. You will lose a couple (usually lose 2-4), but should complete the quest with no problems.

Only one player can do the quest at a time, but you can use your spare bandages to help someone else (which is great). So, if someone has been waiting patiently for you to finish, ask them if you can use your spare bandages to help them (usually by bandaging critically or badly injured patients who they don't seem to be looking at).

Better still, team up with another person to do this quest. Anyone who failed this quest will have spare charges on their Triage Bandage. Position yourself so each of you will be in charge of applying bandages on one half of the room. Since you can't technically complete the quest as a team, you'll need to do the quest twice, helping each other out.

Hope that helps.
