Ahh, first Aid! One of the most least understood professions in the game….yet one of the most useful! In this guide I'll be going through the various aspects of first aid, it's uses and pretty much anything else you could possibly desire.

So enough with the smalltalk, let's get started:

First Aid Overview
First Aid is a secondary profession which allows you to create "bandages" out of the various pieces of cloth which drop off of humanoids around the world of WoW (you can see the full list from the trainers in the game, just turn of the "unavailable" filter when viewing the training list). First aid differs from eating food primarily because you can apply first aid during combat on yourself or others, and there is no need to sit. You also gain health at a much quicker rate than eating food.

First Aid Ranks

Apprentice (1 - max 75)
The apprentice rank can be trained in any major city. Just speak to a local guard and ask them where you can find the local first aid trainer.

Journeyman (50 - max 150 skill)
Like the apprentice rank, you can train up to the journeyman skill in any city, just speak to a local guard and find out where the local physician is located.

Expert (125 - max 225 skill)
To become an "expert" first aid toon, you'll need to purchase a book for 60 silver. The individual vendors for alliance/horde are listed below.

Alliance: Deneb Walker, located in the Arathi Highlands….just inside Stormgarde keep.
Here's a map of Ms. Walker's location on thottbot.

Horde: Balai Lok'Wein, located in Brackenwall Vil
lage in Dustwallow Marsh.
Here's a map of Balai's location on thottbot.

Artisan (225 - max 300 skill)

Requires Player Level 40
Once you've maxed out your Expert skill level in first aid, you come to one of the more entertaining quests in the game, the Triage! The triage requires you to "save" 15 injured warriors/soldiers in a small physician's room loaded with casualties…….BEFORE 6 of them die. There are 3 types of soldiers, critically injured, badly injured and injured. The critically injured die rather quickly so bandage them first, same goes for the badly injured.

A few more tips on this quest:
- Position yourself in the MIDDLE of the room.
- Adjust your camera until you can see a part of ALL the beds containing the injured. This allows for quick targeting.
- Once you receive your "triage bandages" throw them in a hotbar slot (#1 is easiest). This will let you speedily heal the injured and not have to fumble around in your backpack.

So now that I've told you all you need to know to SUCCEED in this quest, you're probably wondering where the hell you get it! Here's how you can obtain the triage quest.

Alliance:
First, you'll need to speak to Nissa Firestone in Ironforge, she'll then direct you to speak to Doctor VanHowzen in Theramore. Here are thottbot maps for both NPCs.

Nissa Firestone: http://www.thottbot.com/?n=2353
Doctor VanHowzen: http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?n=7383

Horde:
To begin this quest you need to strike up a conversation with Arnok who hangs out in Ogrimmar. He'll then direct you to speak with Doctor Victor in the Arathi Highlands. Here are maps for both NPCs.

While there's lots of strats out there for making gold, it's easy to overlook the obvious and simple. Rogue Pickpocketing is one of these often overlooked abilities that can make you more gold than you realize… often in very short amounts of time.

Taking 5/5 in Master of Deception is a good option anyway, but it definitely helps in thievery. Get Nightscape boots as well (craftable by most mid-upper level LW) as they add +1 bonus to stealth. 30+ mobs seem to carry an average of 2-3s each, plus mana and healing pots, as well as merchant fodder that sells for 1-2.5 silver each. At higher level mobs, you'll even snag the occassional gemstone, and virtually all mobs will often give a Junkbox or Lockbox, which is invaluable in increasing lockpicking skills.

Go to an area full of NPCs that have pickable pockets. These include, surprisingly enough, skellies, ghouls, and other undead, Furblogs and timbermaw, and virtually any humanoid attackable NPC. But here's a special little spot I've found where I make easily 5-10 gold in 20 minutes or less.

In BRD, after your group leaves, you can stay behind by yourself WITHOUT getting booted back to your hearth spot. THIS WORKS ONLY IF YOU SUCCESSFULLY DID THE ARENA, although you can try it with a higher probability of aggro otherwise. Go to the gallery that holds the spectators for the Arena (Ring of Law). They will not aggro you if you successfully defeated the challenge, and you can stealth and pickpocket the entire gallery (approximately 40 NPCs) with ease, with each npc holding between 3-4.5 silver. That alone is 1.2-1.7 gold, but I get 4-6 Superior healing pots, 4-5 Heavy Lockboxes, merchant trash (another 20-30s), AND a Star Ruby EVERY TIME.

Very easy, all you do is type /who gm island, and you'll get a list of players, who are either gms or hackers…..i found this out from cosmos, i don't see any good uses right now, but if you can think of something, go for it Ready for the next level?

This is my first post, so be nice. I've found that the recipe for Rage Potion (http://www.thottbot.com/?i=2977) goes for a lot of money on the AH house. Specifically 1 to 2 gold. Considering you buy it for 1 silver I think that's some pretty good money right there. Where I usually get it is from the Defias merchant on the top floor of the Moonbrook inn. There are a bunch of other level 14 Defias up there, but if you can deal with them pretty easily if you're higher level than them. I've done this 4 times so far, and it usually works, but don't expect it to always sell. I highly recommend selling it at a minimum of 1 gold, but you can raise the price as much as you want. It seems to be working well lately because of the amount of twinks out there. The trick is to make it seem expensive and rare, and again I don't guarantee it will sell every time.

The WOW pvp system awards time and not skill, so if you don't have 12 hours a day for PVP'ing, going for exalted with one of the factions in the battlegrounds, will most likely get you better results gear-wise. The advantage of going for exalted with the BG factions is that your reputation gains aren't reliant on others, as it is with the PVP system, so you can gain rep when you want and it doesn't decay.

There are 3 battlegrounds; Alterac Valley (AV), Arathi Basin (AB) and Warsong Gulch (WG).

Warsong Gulch
Warsong Gulch is 10 vs 10 capture the flag. The games themselves are bracketed in the usual brackets (10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60) and the reputation scale to the lvl.

Horde gains repuation with Warsong Outriders and Alliance gain it with Silverwing Sentinels.

Reputation gains are as follows (WOWwiki.com)

Quote: Honor Rewards
The game awards bonus honor to everyone on your side of the match for reaching certain goals. Those goals are:

capturing the opponents flag, rewards 396 honor (at level 60)
winning the match, rewards 198 honor (at level 60)
Honor for lower level matches scales down from the amounts given. Other scored events are not granted honor. These include: killing blows, picking up the opponent's flag, and returning your flag to your base. Honor is awarded for honorable kills as normal.

Winning a complete match (3 captures and the win bonus) gives you 1386 honor (at level 60). It also awards you 3 marks of honor. Turning in the quest for 3 marks of honor is worth an additional 396 honor points.

Losing a complete match (0 captures and a loss) gives you no bonus honor. The only honor you will accumulate will come from honorable kills. You will receive 1 mark of honor at the end of a loss, so you can still collect 3 and turn in the quest as given above.

During the Warsong Gulch Battlegrounds Holiday, you will earn double reputation bonus for each flag captured on your team. The winning team will earn an additional 990 bonus honor (at level 60) for completing the match, in addition to the usual 198 bonus. The losing team will earn 594 bonus honor at the end of the match. Thus a 3-0 match will award a total of 2376 honor to the winners, and 594 honor to the losers during the holiday.

Reputation
Flag Capture - 35 reputation for entire team (10 extra reputation on a Battlegrounds Holiday for a total of 45).
3 Marks of Honor - 50 reputation, or 100 reputation if done through Concerted Efforts or For Great Honor quests.

As can be seen, in this BG you really need to win, to be able to rep up properly. Therefore it's one of the more difficult ones (as opposed to AV), to rep up consistently. Pray your side is good

Exalted rewards
These are the lvl 60 rewards. There are also epic rewards for the 40-49 and 50-59 bracket. Check http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/factions/warsong/index.html for all the rewards.

His strategy revolves around the fair. Besides the trinkets though, there are a few juicy items you can get from the faire for turning stuff that appears to be low or no value to the uneducated. Either you are one wanting the neckalce or you are one wanting to exploit, er cash in on those wanting the necklace so here is what you need to know.

First goto goblin workshop and read their post on the Faire http://www.goblinworkshop.com/darkmoon-faire.html

Now that you have gone, looked at the items and wiped the drool from you keyboard here are tips on how to get the tickets:

You need 1200 tickets to get the epic neck piece from the fair.

Rumor is that you'll need to turn in your deck AFTER you get your neck piece or it messes up the faction earning, slowing you down but if you want your trinket then turn it in.

1) If you farm 130 Vibrant Plumes, it will earn you 312 Darkmoon tickets, 25% of the way towards your necklace. Harpies in Northern Ferales and inside Alterac Valley (the Alliance Cave) drop these pretty well. After you turn in this many you can't turn in more so don't bother getting 500 to skip the next part–it wont work.

(MONEY HINT: Put these on the Auction House then in trade chat say "Working on Darkmoon Faire faction? Vibrant Plumes for sale on AH" Otherwise people don't look for it.)

2) You next need to hunt or have a skill that the darkmoon faire is interested in: Blacksmithing, Engineering, Leatherworking, or "I'm sorry you choose Herb/Alchemy go kill hundreds of spawns."

For the next 900 tickets, you'll need 10 bat eyes (Eastern Plaguelands), 10 glowing scorpid blood (Silithus), 6 thorium widgets (engineer and the recipe sells from guy in Orgimar for horde), 8 dense grinding stones (blacksmith) or 8 rugged armor kits for each batch of 20 tickets.

To turn in the widgets, stones, or kits you must be an engineer, blacksmith, or leatherworker. So if you didn't choose one of these professions then find a guide on how to level to 300 in one of them (I think engineering is the way to go myself) and reset a skill or start killing.

http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Ebrt/wow/guides/skillupenchanting.html (Go to this link then choose the guide from the right that you need).

Well how many of each do you need?
450 Evil Bat eyes or Glowing Scorpid Blood
810 Thorium Widgets
1600 Dense Stone
1600 Rugged Leather

Okay lets say you've done the math and you don't want the necklace. Wonderful–exploit instead. No one is gonna wanna make ALL of this stuff him/herself so you have a chance to put the ingredients or end items on the AH for some nice cash.

Watch the calendar and mark up your items (or ingredients) when the fair is coming round (may 10/11) and then advertise in trade window–faire is here, get your ticket loot in the AH!

Good luck with whichever route you choose.

As a master demo lock, you can sac your succi and get +15% shadow damage. Very handy. There has been a long time bug, where you could also get your pet combatrezzed, thus gaining the 15% for the sac and the 10% for having the succi alive. The trick is to have either a druid, or someone with jumper cables rezz the corpse before it rots OR have a resser spam their 10 second rezz as soon as you sac the pet (the pet rots after 10 secs, the rezz has a 10 sec cast time).

Now, there is also a twist to this technique: Shield (priest) your succi and sac it. The succi is unaffected, and you gain the +15% from the sac and the +10% from having her alive. This will be fixed in 1.12, but I highly doubt the first technique gets fixed.

Enjoy
