First Aid
Overview
First Aid is a secondary profession. Every character can learn it, in addition to their two primary professions.
It lets you heal yourself without relying on a healer.
What this profession is for
- Craft bandages to restore your health.
Learning the profession
First Aid is learned from a first aid trainer. Each rank raises the profession's maximum skill:
- Apprentice: up to 75 skill.
- Journeyman: up to 150, from 50 skill.
- Expert: up to 225, from 125 skill.
- Artisan: up to 300, from 200 skill and level 35.
- Master: up to 375.
- Grand Master: up to 450, from 350 skill.
Remember to learn the next rank as you approach your rank's limit: beyond it, your skill no longer increases.
In Wrath of the Lich King, the first aid trainers in the capital cities teach the Apprentice to Artisan ranks, from 1 to 300. The Master rank, from 300 to 375, is learned in Outland, and the Grand Master rank, from 375 to 450, in Northrend, from the trainers shown in brackets.
