1. SKILL LEVEL 1 to 300

To learn first aid, visit any First Aid trainer in a capital city. If you don’t know where s/he is, head into any Capital and ask a guard.

- Linen Cloth (lvl 3-27 humanoids)
- Wool Cloth (lvl 14-36 humanoids, sheep skinning)
- Silk Cloth (lvl 19-47 humanoids)
- Mageweave Cloth (lvl 28-51 humanoids)
- Runecloth (lvl 47-71 humanoids)

2. SKILL LEVEL 301 to 375

For Alliance, you can learn First Aid 301 to 375 in the Temple of Telhamat from Burko.

For Horde, you can learn First Aid 301 to 375 at Falcon Watch from Aresella.

Netherweave Cloth (lvl 56-71 humanoids)

3. SKILL LEVEL 376 to 450

To obtain Grand Master First Aid, you will need to have an FA skill of 350 and 50g, as well as the WotLK expansion.

For Alliance, you can get this through a trainer named Brynna Wilson at Valiance Keep in the Borean Tundra, or from another trainer named Anchorite Yazmina at Valgarde in the Howling Fjord.

For Horde, you can get this through a trainer named Nurse Applewood at Warsong Hold in the Borean Tundra, or Sally Tompkins at Vengeance Landing in the Howling Fjord.

Both factions can also learn this from Olisarra the Kind located in the Magus Commerce Exchange at Dalaran.

- Frostweave Cloth (lvl 68 to 82 creatures)

4. SKILL LEVELING TIPS

I suggest you keep learning a First Aid skill if the skill shows up as Orange or Yellow. Once it becomes green, the chance to level up your FA skill is a lot less. It’s also a waste of cloth.

What I do is level my skill up as much as I can before it reaches Green, then stop and wait until I either run out of bandages to use or until I learn a new FA skill in the Orange or Yellow. At Green, if you’re still trying to level up through Heavy Linen Bandages for example, you might as well save the cloth up and sell them in the Auction House.

Tip by Rifraf: Sometimes there is no other option than to work on items that are green and just stick to it until you get skill bumps. I get between 1-2 skill bumps out of every 10 Heavy Runecloth bandages. It is a pain in the butt and it is taking what seems like forever, but it can be done, and you’ll probably harvest a fair amount of Netherweave while you are farming more Runecloth.

5. FOR HEALERS

I play a Restoration Shaman and a Discipline Priest. To save mana between mobs, I use bandages on my fellow party members, as well as myself. Then use light heals for left-over damage I need to heal up.

What I do is always keep at least one stack of Frostweave Bandage and at least one stack of Heavy Frostweave Bandage. This allows me to moderate between heavy healing and lower healing.

So making bandages before entering an instance should be well considered. It will save time wasted on drinking for mana.

6. ANTI-VENOM

You can get the first Anti-Venom formula simply called “Anti-Venom” from any Apprentice/Journeyman First Aid trainer. This will cure targets up to level 25. You will need a minimum skill of 80 to learn it.

For the “Strong Anti-Venom”, you need to have a FA skill of 130 to learn it. You can learn this through a book called “Manual: Strong Anti-Venom“. This item is through a World Drop, meaning it is randomly dropped anywhere in the Azeroth world and is nearly impossible to find it. The drop can be found on level 18 to 37 mobs.

For the “Formula: Powerful Anti-Venom“, you need to have FA 300. You can learn this through a formula sold by an Argent Dawn vendor located in the Eastern Plaguelands. You need to be Honored with them. This will cure poisons up to level 60.
