This Wrath of the Lich King First Aid guide will show you the fastest and easiest way to level your First Aid skill from 1 to 450!
Why level first aid?
First aid allows you to make and use bandages! Bandages can be a life saver in tough situations! With it being so quick and easy to level, I believe everyone should level First Aid.
The only exception I would make would be for healers I guess.
Materials Required
The totals will vary based on your luck. These are the different material types required to level first aid to 450.
Classic Materials
Outland Materials
Northrend Materials
Where to find cloth
If you are just sitting on a pile of gold, it is easy to run to the Auction House and buy all of the cloth required for first aid. For most of us though, that can be an expensive plan.
Some cloth is actually harder to find on the Auction House too, I’ve seen Mageweave Cloth completely sold out at times. Due to this, I’m going to list where you can farm the different cloth types required to level to 450.
Linen Cloth
Linen Cloth can be found in just about any starter area. I would also recommend running The Deadmines dungeon for it.
Wool Cloth
Wool Cloth can be found in Ashenvale, The Barrens, Darkshore, Hillsbrad Foothills, Ghostlands, Silverpine Forest,and Westfall. The stockades dungeon is great for Wool cloth, Horde could check out Shadowfange keep.
Silk Cloth
Silk Cloth is frequently farmed in Stranglethorn Vale, Ashenvale, Desolace or Thousand Needles. I also recommend checking out Scarlet Monastery for Silk Cloth.
Mageweave Cloth
Mageweave Cloth is typically farmed in Blasted Lands, Badlands, Azshara, Feralas or Felwood.
RuneCloth
Runecloth can be found in Western Plaguelands, Burning Steppes, Felwood or Azshara. This is by no means a complete list but it definitely gives a few good options. I prefer the ghouls in WPL myself.
Netherweave Cloth
Netherweave Cloth isn’t that difficult to find because almost every humanoid in Outland drops Netherweave cloth. The most common zones to farm it would be Hellfire Peninsula, Netherstorm and Blade’s Edge Mountains.
Frostweave Cloth
Frostweave Cloth is pretty similar to Netherweave cloth, just about any humanoids in Northrend can drop Frostweave cloth. Most people farm it in either Icecrown or Zul’Drak.
