World of Warcraft Guides

First Aid is a very useful skill, which everybody can and should train. Since it is a secondary profession, it does not count towards the two main professions that any character can learn and there is absolutely no reason not to train it. First Aid is useful in almost every situation, from PvE to PvP and even Raids. In this guide we will look at how you can train from 0 to 375, as well as some other important aspects of the First Aid Profession. If you have any questions and/or comments, please do not hesitate to leave a comment!

You now have to acquire the Artisan First Aid skill, which is achieved by doing a quest called “Triage“. The Doctor who gives this quest is different for each Faction. It you do not want to come back to the Doctor in question later on, then it is wise to bring your remaining Mageweave and Runecloth. This will allow you to train to 300 right there and then.

The ‘Triage’ Quest

Save patients by using Triage Bandages to tend to their wounds. You must save 15 patients before 6 of them die from their injuries.

Remember the order of triage! Critically Injured Soldiers die the fastest followed by Badly Injured Soldiers. Injured Soldiers take the longest to die and should be saved AFTER your Critically Injured and Badly Injured Soldiers have been triaged.
15 Patients Saved!
Good day, doctor. You will be tested on your ability to triage patients accordingly this afternoon. Should you pass your examination, you will join the prestigious ranks of Horde Trauma.

Now pay attention! The critically injured must be tended to first. After the criticals come the badly injured. The injured should be tended to last. You must save 15 patients to pass this exam. You will fail should 6 of your patients die in triage.

Triage bandages will be supplied.

Good luck, doctor.

This quest can be quite tricky, but with the right preperation and concentration it is fairly easy to succeed. Don’t worry about failing, you can abandon your quest and try again if you need to. You will most likely not succeed the first time, but don’t give up!

The Doctor wants you to triage 15 patients, before 6 die. As soon as the 6th patient died, you will fail the quest. You will be in a room with 6 cots, on which the patients will spawn. The Doctor has given you special triage bandages, which you should add to your action bar and assign a hot key. This is only used during this quest, so replace something that is very easy to press ? you will need it. Use Shift-V to show the status bar of all patients on your screen, this will help you prioritize which patients to heal first. Make sure you pick a position in the room which enables you to reach all cots.
Pay attention to the quest log ? heal critically injured first, then badly injured and then injured patients. Once you started treating a patient, do not cancel and switch to another patient, you will only lose valuable time. Critically injured patients die very quickly, so if they have been spawned a while before you get the chance to start healing them, let them die. It isn?t worth the loss of time when they die halfway you treating them.
Select the next patient before you have finished the current one, that way you only have to press your hotkey as soon as the current patient is finished. This saves you some valuable seconds.
Again, don?t give up ? you will manage after a few tries.
