WoW Forever First Aid Leveling Guide 1–300
· recipe data from the WoW Forever beta client 1.60.1.70170
First Aid is a secondary profession: it costs none of your two primary slots, and every character can level it. The route is the Classic one, bandages from the cloth humanoids drop while you level, and the Forever client has not moved any bandage's skill colours. What Forever changed is what else First Aid makes: all six healing potions moved here from Alchemy, and there are new poultices, tourniquets and an anti-venom on top.
Work in progress until launch on 4 November. Built from the beta client's recipe data, so numbers can still change. How this guide is made

About this guide
The only parts of the route that are not a trainer visit are the two rank-ups. Expert First Aid is a book bought from a vendor in the Arathi Highlands or Dustwallow Marsh, and Artisan is a timed quest at a field hospital. Both are below.
WoW Forever launches on 4 November 2026, so this guide is a work in progress. Skill colours, reagents and craft counts come from the beta client, so they are what Forever ships today but can still change, and the beta stops short of Artisan, so the top of the route is computed rather than played. Craft counts include the extra crafts a recipe needs once it turns yellow. Trainer locations and learn levels are Classic's, adjusted where Forever moved a recipe. We rebuild the guide whenever the client changes.

First Aid camp objects

Plague Doctor's Laboratory from skill 300

What Forever added to First Aid
Minor, Lesser, plain, Greater, Superior and Major Healing Potions are First Aid recipes in Forever, at the same skill colours they had as alchemy recipes, and each now takes cooking spices as well as its herb: Minor Healing Potion is a Peacebloom, Mild Spices and an Empty Vial. The Greater, Superior and Major recipes come from recipe items; where Forever teaches the first three is not settled in the data yet.
Around them are consumables Classic never had. Poultices (Simple, Clever, Superior and Powerful) are made three at a time from one reagent (Spider Ichor or a Murloc Fin early on, elemental water later), a spice and a drink. Tourniquets are made from cloth or leather and thread. Potent Anti-Venom fills the gap between Strong and Powerful Anti-Venom.
None of these is needed to reach 300, and bandages stay cheaper, but healing potions are worth having on a raider: it means a character without Alchemy can make their own.
Buy it ready made
If you want the item rather than the profession, have it delivered to your character.
