WoW Forever First Aid Guide 1-300: Trainers, Potions & Curatives
Beta caveat: built from beta data. [Classic-based] = Classic Era data Forever may change; [Unconfirmed] = to recheck at launch.
Why First Aid matters more in Forever
First Aid is a secondary profession, so it costs neither primary slot. Forever turns it into a full medic kit:
- Healing Potions moved here from Alchemy: Minor Healing Potion to Major Healing Potion. See our healing potions guide.
- New curatives: Simple Poultice (disease), Woolen Tourniquet (bleed), plus Anti-Venom (poison).
- Camp objects: First Aid Kit, Toxin Study, Plague Doctor's Laboratory. See camping.

First Aid 1–300 route
Bandages stay the cheapest path. Counts are estimates; luck moves them a little.
| Skill | Craft | Approx. crafts | Mats |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–40 | Linen Bandage | 45 | 45 Linen Cloth |
| 40–80 | Heavy Linen Bandage | 65 | 130 Linen Cloth |
| 80–115 | Wool Bandage | 50 | 50 Wool Cloth |
| 115–150 | Heavy Wool Bandage | 50 | 100 Wool Cloth |
| 150–180 | Silk Bandage | 45 | 45 Silk Cloth |
| 180–210 | Heavy Silk Bandage (Manual) | 45 | 90 Silk Cloth |
| 210–225 | Mageweave Bandage (Manual) | 20 | 20 Mageweave Cloth |
| 225–260 [Classic-based] | Heavy Mageweave Bandage | — | 2 Mageweave Cloth each |
| 260–290 [Classic-based] | Runecloth Bandage | — | 1 Runecloth each |
| 290–300 [Classic-based] | Heavy Runecloth Bandage | — | 2 Runecloth each |
Shopping list to 225: 175 Linen, 150 Wool, 135 Silk, 20 Mageweave. The 225–300 rows follow the Classic route; Wowhead has not yet published Forever counts for that stretch.
If a Manual: Greater Healing Potion or Clever Poultice recipe drops for you, those crafts can replace some bandages.
