Phase 5 of Season of Discovery retains the 300 skill cap introduced in Phase 3 for professions, allowing players to max out their crafting and gathering skills in case they haven’t already done so. For the First Aid profession, that means you’ll be able to make even the highest level bandages and venoms.

First Aid Leveling & Trainers

Check out our Classic First Aid Guide for trainer locations, a leveling guide, and more. We also have a Cloth Farming Guide. Everything in those guides applies to Season of Discovery. So far there have been no changes to the First Aid skill in SoD except for the level requirements for higher skill ranks (level 26 for Expert and level 41 for Artisan).

Learning Artisan First Aid

From Phase 3 onward, players were able to level their professions all the way to 300 skill, or Artisan level – the maximum skill for Vanilla WoW.

To reach 300 in the First Aid skill you’ll first need to complete the Triage quest to learn Artisan First Aid. Here’s how to start the quest:

• Alliance:
  • Optional: Speak with Nissa Firestone, the First Aid Trainer in the center ring of Ironforge. She’ll give you the quest Alliance Trauma.
  • Head to Theramore Isle in Dustwallow Marsh and find Doctor Gustaf VanHowzen. He will give you the Triage quest.
• Horde:
  • Optional: Speak with Arnok, the First Aid Trainer in The Valley of Spirits in Orgrimmar. He’ll give you the quest Horde Trauma.
  • Head to Hammerfell in Arathi Highlands and find Doctor Gregory Victor. He will give you the Triage quest.

Completing the quest requires saving 15 patients before six of them die. Stand near the middle of the room where you can quickly reach all of the patients. You’ll get a special bandage item that you must use for the quest – it’s a good idea to add this item to your action bar/hotkeys. This quest teaches you the real process of triage, and as such you should prioritize treating the wounded in order of severity: Critically Injured first, then Badly Injured, and Injured last.

Turn in the quest to learn Artisan First Aid. The same NPC will also teach you Heavy Mageweave Bandage, Runecloth Bandage, and Heavy Runecloth Bandage when your skill is high enough.

Phase 5 First Aid Recipes

So far, no new recipes have been added for First Aid in Season of Discovery, and all of the existing recipes have been left unchanged. The only recipe that can’t be learned yet is Manual: Crystal Infused Bandage as the Ahn’Qiraj event is yet unavailable in the Season of Discovery.
