WOW FOREVER · FIRST AID 1-300 · BETA DATA 2026-09-23

First Aid 1-300. Bandages as always, plus the healing potions Alchemy lost.

First Aid is still the cheapest skill to max: every step is cloth you already loot. Forever gives it the healing potion line from Alchemy, plus poultices and tourniquets, and the route uses one potion step because it is cheaper than Heavy Linen Bandages. Everything else is the bandage ladder you remember.

THE ROUTE

Craft this, this many times.

Craft counts are the expected number for that range at Forever's skill-up colours, rounded up. The small numbers are the skill where the recipe turns yellow, green and grey; below the yellow number every craft is a guaranteed point. If a step finishes early, move on.

WHAT FOREVER CHANGED

Why a Classic guide gets this wrong.

  • Minor to Major Healing Potion moved here from Alchemy, learned from 55 to 290 and made from herbs, spices and vials. Beta data
  • New poultices and tourniquets. Bandage recipes and colours are unchanged. Beta data
  • Camp objects: First Aid Kit at 20 (a Stamina buff that competes with Power Word: Fortitude), Toxin Study at 140, Plague Doctor’s Laboratory at 300. Beta data
  • Heavy Silk, Mageweave and Heavy Mageweave Bandage manuals come from Deneb Walker in Arathi and Balai Lok’Wein in Dustwallow Marsh. Artisan needs the Triage quest from Theramore or Hammerfall, and the Triage doctor then teaches the Runecloth bandages. No changes to either were found. Classic

TIPS

Before you spend a copper.

  • Keep 81 Linen, 144 Wool, 127 Silk, 92 Mageweave and 65 Runecloth back from the auction house.
  • The Minor Healing Potion step is new and its source is unconfirmed. If you cannot learn it, do Heavy Linen Bandages from 40 to 80 instead.
  • Do the Triage quest at 225. It needs level 35 in Classic.

Training ranks

  • Journeyman unlocks at skill 50, Expert at 125 and Artisan at 200, each raising the cap by 75. Beta data
  • Character level gates of 5, 10, 20 and 35 for the four ranks carry over from Classic. Beta players report Cooking reaching 150 before level 10, and a forum moderator called that a bug. Reported
  • Hitting 150, 225 and 300 in a profession each award a Legacy point the first time you do it on the account. Blizzard

How this was built

  • Every skill-up colour, reagent and recipe on these pages comes from Wowhead’s Forever database, which is mined from the beta client. Nothing is copied from a Classic guide.
  • A skill point is certain while a recipe is orange. From yellow to grey the chance falls in a straight line: (grey − skill) ÷ (grey − yellow). The craft counts are the expected number of crafts under that rule, rounded up, so real runs land a few either side.
  • The route is the cheapest expected path through all 300 points, costed with rough early-Classic auction and vendor prices, with a small cost for every recipe change so you are not buying a new pattern every three points. Recipes a trainer teaches win ties. Vendor patterns and quest rewards are allowed. Recipes that are new in Forever are only picked when they are clearly cheaper, and they are flagged, because Blizzard has not said how you learn them.
  • The shopping list expands anything you craft along the way (bolts, cured hides, grinding stones, blasting powder) into the raw goods, and counts crafted leftovers against later steps. Those intermediate crafts can give a few free points of their own, so you usually finish slightly early.
  • Beta is capped at level 20 and content above that is not playable yet. Colours for recipes above skill 225 are the most likely to move before launch on November 4.

Pairs well with

Any main profession. First Aid costs nothing but cloth, so every character should have it.

Every bonus, camp object and Legacy perk is on the professions overview.
