The First Aid skill is a class skill that is used during combat. With this skill players can heal themselves or allies using bandages.
The following playable classes get the first aid skill (it is not trainable by anyone else):
Bandages can be made using the tailoring skill or bought from some Healer NPCs.
**Making Bandages
**To make bandages you need the Tailoring skill and the 5 skill bandage plan.
Use the Inventory > Tradeskill > Tailoring screen to launch the tailoring crafting screen.
Select the bandage plan and then assemble your bandages using cloth.
More information on gathering cloth and tailoring is available under the Farming and Tailoring skill sections of the manual.
**Self Bandage Use
**Click the heart shaped button in the middle of the combat window if you wish to heal yourself.
This will show a list of the healing items you have in your inventory which will include potions and bandages.
Click on the bandage you wish to use and you will then apply the bandage to yourself and heal your damage.
Heal formula
Damage healed = (Item Level * 2)
Effect over time: Heals an additional 2 rounds at (Item Level)
This means a level 10 bandage can heal 20pts of damage out right and 10pts of damage per turn for 2 further turns.
Bandage Use Formula
Skill Required = (Item Level * 5)
Using higher level bandages without the proper amount of skill will yield diminishing returns.
You will gain one purple skill gain for each bandage use, but no experience.
**Ally Bandage Use
**Click the heart shaped button in the middle of the combat window.
This will show a list of the healing items you have in your inventory which will include potions and bandages.
Click on the person you wish to target BEFORE choosing a bandage. This will make the fight window update to show you are targeting an ally.
Click on the bandage you wish to use and you will then apply the bandage to the targeted ally and heal their damage.
