First Aid Guide 1-525

There isn't a class that should let First Aid slip by them but many, especially healers do. First Aid is an indispensable skill that can literally save a raid from a wipe. If you've slacked off don't worry you can always buy all the materials now to begin leveling up your First Aid.

This leveling guide is updated for the most recent patch and Cataclysm.
First Aid is a secondary profession, meaning anyone and everyone can and should have it. It is extremely helpful in both PvE and PvP, as you can almost always find time to heal yourself in both situations. This leveling guide will get you from 1-525 in First Aid.
Special Cataclysm Note: All recipes are available from any First Aid Trainer.

Leveling Apprentice & Journeyman First Aid (Levels 1-150)

Your first step is to visit a trainer and train Apprentice First Aid and Linen Bandage. You'll find that leveling up through these first 150 levels with this guide is fast and easy.

Leveling Expert First Aid (Levels 150-225)

Leveling Artisan First Aid (Levels 225-330)

Leveling Master and Grandmaster First Aid (Levels 330-425)

Leveling Illustrious First Aid (Levels 425-525)

There are only two steps for this part, make Embersilk Bandages and then make Heavy Embersilk Bandages. There were also two more bandages realeased with Cataclysm, Dense Embersilk Bandage and Field Bandage: Dense Embersilk, but they will not help you level to 525. While creating the Embersilk and Heavy Embersilk Bandages you will have to push through a lot of green levels so be patient!
