So, you’re looking to patch up some wounds and become a master of first aid in Outland? Excellent choice! In the Burning Crusade, mastering first aid is essential for survival, especially if you’re a class without self-healing abilities. Unlike some professions, First Aid doesn’t require specialized trainers after a certain point.
To learn Outland First Aid (300-375), you don’t actually visit a trainer in the traditional sense. Instead, you need to acquire the book Master First Aid – Doctor in the House. At First Aid skill level 300, head to Hellfire Peninsula and find either Aresella (for Alliance players) or Burko (for Horde players). Alternatively, you can purchase the book from the Auction House. Once you’ve got the book, simply read it to unlock the ability to train your First Aid skill beyond 300, up to a maximum of 375. You’ll also acquire recipes for the Netherweave Bandage and Heavy Netherweave Bandage, which you will use extensively.
