World of Warcraft: Cataclysm First Aid Crafting – Heavy Mageweave Bandage

This guide covers the Heavy Mageweave Bandage craftable item from the First Aid secondary profession in the mmorpg World of Warcraft, reflecting any and all changes made with the release of Cataclysm and the shattering of Azeroth (patch 4.0.3). You can see additional pictures of this item and recipe by clicking the numbers by the thumbnail above.

Heavy Mageweave Bandage is the upgrade to the Mageweave Bandage healing item, becoming useable at First Aid 175 and craftable at 240. It is important to find a place where you can avoid damage before applying a bandage, as taking damage will interrupt the healing done, while still leaving the one minute debuff preventing further bandaging. If it’s a close battle however, and only a few hp may make the difference, it might be worth using one even for a single tick of healing in some cases.

It is not worth selling this on the auction house as the average buyout price is lower than the vendor sell price, especially including the deposit required. Typically most First Aid items do not sell well in the auction house, however they are always appreciated when used appropriately on allies in battlegrounds.
