Some help for a noob

[Monkey]

Edit: Some more general questions: 1) What is the advantage to bandaging as opposed to eating? They both seem to be undoable in the middle of a fight, so why bother with First Aid? Please enlighten. 2) Is alchemy a good profession and will it give me ability to make healing pots?

Bandaging is faster than eating, but it puts a 1-minute debuff on you, preventing any bandaging during that minute. And you can bandage in combat, just not while taking damage. Later in your warrior career, you'll encounter intimidating shout which is a stun/fear ability and will allow you to do the classic int. shout+bandage for saving yourself.

Food can only be eaten out of combat, but there's no debuff--in fact, many foods offer a buff like increased stats or health/mana regen. Food is usually more involved to prepare than bandages as well.

Alchemy does make healing potions, and alchemy was my first tradeskill... but almost every character I make these days is some variety of skinning+other gathering. Money can be hard on your first character and warriors often aren't as fast as other classes in carrying out mass slaughter to generate cash. You can usually buy potions or anything else crafted you need on the Auction House.

I'd also like to echo the advice to "go green"--look for green mobs and green quests. And be sure to do all warrior-specific quests because warriors have a set of nice gear quests in their 20s.
