Gameplay > Guides > First Aid

First Aid is a Crafting skill used to treat the player's injuries. It is one of the newer skills, along with Electrical, Fishing, Trapping, and Foraging. As the skill level increases, the player will be able to treat wounds faster, make better bandages, understand more ailments and spot infections. Experience is gained by players treating themselves or other players.

Usage

Treatment is carried out by right clicking on the body in the health status window, or right clicking the health status text if injuries are present. Treatment requires materials, even basic ones such as Ripped Sheets and/or Bourbon. Injuries are indicated by bleeding and/or injured moodles. First Aid will not reduce or change the chance of zombification from a zombie scratch or bite.
