PROFESSIONS · 1 TO 300 GUIDE
First Aid
Secondary · Updated October 30, 2026
Forever's big change. Besides bandages, it now makes healing potions (no longer Alchemy), poultices against disease, tourniquets against bleeds and anti-venoms. It takes no slot and any class can level it. A must for warriors and rogues.
What to pair it with: Herbalism, for the potion herbs. Bandage cloth drops on its own from humanoids.
What changes in Forever
- Healing potions: Minor (Peacebloom), Lesser (Briarthorn), Healing (Bruiseweed), Greater (Liferoot), Superior (Sungrass) and Major (Golden Sansam), plus a vial and vendor spices. The last three need a manual.
- Poultices against disease: Simple, Clever, Superior and Powerful Poultice. Not usable in combat.
- Tourniquets against bleeds: Woolen, Leather and Surgical Tourniquet. Not usable in combat.
- Anti-venoms with new ranks (Potent Anti-Venom) and a reworked Powerful Anti-Venom. These are usable in combat.
- Dense Runecloth Bandage at 300: heals 3,400 over 8 seconds, made from two Heavy Runecloth Bandages.
- Camp: First Aid Kit (20, 3 to 56 Stamina depending on your level; doesn't stack with Power Word: Fortitude), Toxin Study (140, potions and anti-venoms) and Plague Doctor's Laboratory (300, potions and poultices).
- 17 new recipes in total. Legacy: Working Overtime, Dedicated Study and Field Medicine.

What is worth the most
- Your own healing potions: you don't need an alchemist.
- Major Healing Potion and Dense Runecloth Bandage: what you'll use most at 60, in raids and PvP.
- Poultices, tourniquets and anti-venoms: they clear disease, bleeds and poison for any class.
- Toxin Study (140) at camp, with potions and anti-venoms for the group.
Tips
- Level it with the cloth that drops while you level: it costs almost nothing.
- When a potion is orange or yellow, make it instead of the bandage: same skill-up and you keep it.
- Bandage between fights instead of eating: no downtime.
- Buy spices and vials from the trade vendor.
- Go do Triage as soon as you hit 225: otherwise you stop gaining skill.
What we don't know yet
- The exact potion skill levels differ between sources. We use the beta client data (Minor 55, Lesser 85, Healing 135, Greater 155, Superior 215, Major 275), but other guides list different numbers.
- What poultices and tourniquets need, and where the Superior and Major manuals drop.
- 225 to 300 is the classic route: the beta stopped at 225, so it's untested.
This guide is updated every time Blizzard publishes changes. Whatever is still missing goes in as soon as it is known, and the date at the top tells you when we last touched it.
