In TBC Classic, First Aid caps at 375 (Master First Aid). You reach it by learning Master from a trainer in Hellfire Peninsula, then crafting bandages from Netherweave Cloth. Level 300→360 with Netherweave Bandage, then 360→375 with Heavy Netherweave Bandage. Heavy Netherweave heals about 3,400 health over 8 seconds — the strongest cloth self-heal usable mid-fight, and it works for every class.

Quick facts

  • Max skill: 375 (Master First Aid, the TBC tier above Artisan 300).
  • Where to learn Master: Hellfire Peninsula — Aaron Hollman at Honor Hold (Alliance), Burko at Thrallmar (Horde). Master trainers also sit in the main capital cities.
  • No book needed: unlike the Classic Expert and Artisan jumps, Master First Aid is simply trained once you hit 300 skill.
  • Main material: Netherweave Cloth, dropped by humanoids all over Outland.
  • Best bandage: Heavy Netherweave Bandage, learned at skill 360.

How to level First Aid 300 → 375

  1. Get to 300 first. You need Artisan First Aid (300) from Classic content before Master unlocks.
  2. Train Master First Aid in Hellfire Peninsula (or a capital). This teaches Netherweave Bandage.
  3. 300 → 360: craft Netherweave Bandage (1 Netherweave Cloth each). It stays green long enough to carry most of the grind.
  4. 360 → 375: learn and craft Heavy Netherweave Bandage (2 Netherweave Cloth each) to finish the last points.

Budget roughly 100+ Netherweave Cloth total. Questing through Hellfire Peninsula alone usually stockpiles most of what you need.

Where do you learn Master First Aid in TBC?

Head to Hellfire Peninsula, your first Outland zone. Alliance train from Aaron Hollman in Honor Hold; Horde train from Burko in Thrallmar. Master First Aid trainers also stand in the major capital cities, so you can pick it up wherever is closest.

What is the best bandage in TBC?

Heavy Netherweave Bandage. It requires First Aid 360 and 2 Netherweave Cloth per craft, and restores around 3,400 health over 8 seconds. That makes it a real combat cooldown for PvP, soloing, and saving downtime between pulls — especially valuable for non-healing classes.

Where do you farm Netherweave Cloth?

Any Outland humanoids drop it — Fel Orcs and bandits in Hellfire Peninsula are the earliest reliable source, and later zones like Zangarmarsh and Nagrand keep the supply flowing. If you'd rather not farm, Netherweave Cloth is cheap and plentiful on the Auction House.

Is First Aid worth it in TBC?

Yes, for most players. Every class can bandage, it costs no mana or reagents beyond cloth, and it cuts eating and drinking downtime while leveling. For PvP and soloing, a mid-fight Heavy Netherweave Bandage can decide the outcome.

If you'd rather skip the cloth grind and jump straight to raiding or Arena, PewPewShop's vetted coaches can help you power through professions and progression, or play alongside you as a rent-a-pro to speed up the boring parts — no bots, just experienced human players.
