WoW Classic First Aid leveling guide (1-300)

WoW Classic’s First Aid skill is certainly one worth learning, if you intend on being a team player. Having ready access to current bandages, and Antivenom will allow you to heal in a pinch outside of combat. Whether you have healing spells/life draining spells, it’s worth leveling this skill, it’s a great way to conserve mana. It’s not one of the most important things you can do in Classic, but it certainly comes in handy on Hardcore servers.

There are plenty of First Aid trainers scattered across WoW Classic’s two continents as well — the Capital Cities feature them for both Horde and Alliance, as well as some other important towns and regions. If you’re planning to level First Aid, here’s what you need to know.

Materials needed for First Aid leveling in WoW Classic

Your reagent needs could vary while leveling First Aid in WoW Classic, but this is the most reliable set up, in my particular case. You’re also going to need a few books/manuals as you go as well. These aren’t terribly expensive — 22-50 Silver a piece. They certainly won’t break the bank. You can find them in Stromgarde Keep (Arathi Highlands - Alliance) and Brackenwall Village (Dustwallow Marsh - Horde), so pick them up once you reach these areas.

You could grind up all this cloth or buy it in the Auction House. This could get expensive, depending on what version of Classic you’re playing, and what the economy is like.

How to train First Aid in WoW Classic (1-300)

First Aid trainers can only give you access to the Apprentice level of the skill in WoW Classic. To get to Expert (125-225), you need Expert First Aid - Under Wraps. You can either buy it on the Auction House or through one of the above vendors. If you want Artisan (225-300), you’ll need to complete a specific quest, and be at least Level 35.

Below is a list of all known WoW Classic First Aid trainers for both Alliance and Horde, and their TomTom Waypoints. TomTom is one of the most important addons for WoW retail or Classic, so having it for this First Aid grind will help you get started at least.

Before you go further with WoW Classic’s First Aid, you need to be Level 35 and have completed the Artisan First Aid quest. You’ll find these in Theramore (Alliance) and Hammerfall (Horde).

You’ll be in a room with a variety of sick patients, and you need to use the Triage Bandages — so put them on your hotbar — to heal 15 patients without having six of them die. Before you get started, if you haven’t already, turn on NPC names (Control + V), so you can see their health bars. You’ll also want to stand in the middle of the room so you have quick access to everyone.

When the WoW Classic First Aid quest starts, you’ll see NPCs spawn in with a variety of names, such as Critically Injured Soldier and Badly Injured Soldier. You need to prioritize certain ones to make sure you do this with minimal casualties. Here’s the priority order, from most to least important:

Critically Injured
Badly Injured
Injured
Recently Spawned

Once this is done, you’ll have learned Artisan First Aid in WoW Classic, and you can wrap up with the 225 through 300 grind.

225 - 300 Reagents needed

80-100 Mageweave Cloth
80-100 Runecloth

Leveling up 225 - 300

Craft Mageweave Bandage (226 through 240)
Train Heavy Mageweave Bandage from the NPC you completed Artisan First Aid quest with
Craft Heavy Mageweave Bandage (241 through 260)
Train Runecloth Bandage from Artisan First Aid NPC
Craft Runecloth Bandage (261 through 290)
Train Heavy Runecloth Bandage from Artisan First Aid NPC
Craft Heavy Runecloth Bandage (290 through 300)

I also highly recommend, once you’re done with First Aid in WoW Classic, grinding Argent Dawn through at least Honored, so that you can purchase Formula: Powerful Anti-Venom for 10 gold — if you can afford it. It’s the best poison cure item you’re going to get, and it could certainly come in handy.
