This guide is meant to be an annual review of the state of the healing profession for humans, since updates and current trends tend to change the dynamics of some professions. My hope is that the subsequent edition will be written by an actual experienced healer. But for the first one I will try to do it justice based on my limited experience.
The posts that are to follow are dedicated to those who are actively seeking to raise their healing skill, so that those seeking healers can easily identify who you are and find you. Healers who are at the pinnacle of your career are also welcomed to post - for your skills are highly sought after by many who have trouble finding you.
In order to avoid clutter i ask that you respectfully refrain from asking questions or showing appreciation for this guide in this post. Instead direct all questions and comments to this discussion post –

Healing as a profession
The healing profession is one of the three tertiary professions and can be taken up at lvl4. A healer’s job is to remove the injuries of other players using special healing scrolls corresponding to the level of the injury. In order to become a healer you need to accept the quest from Samuel the Cleric @ Wirgold Estate.
The quest: Collect Blood-sucking zigred [5] blood 5 pcs and pay 5g
All other basic information you need to know is summarized
here.
The usual aim for most people who take up healing is to get to level-2. Finding level-1 injuries is not hard, but competition is stiff since there are lots of level-1 healers. However at present, a new trend has emerged with low level players offering to purposefully get themselves injured by monsters to assist healers who pay them a fee for this service. That option is available if you wish to make level 2 faster.
Being a level2 healer allows you entrance into the powerful
Brotherhood of Virtue.
Profitability for the healing profession usually begins after lvl4 where the wounds are more serious and players will seek to remove them. However, it will be difficult to charge beyond the cost of the scroll as there are always healers who don’t mind healing for such. But most definitely, healing can become profitable at level 8 where those types of injuries are very common and affect the players who are willing to pay extra. But even then, as a service to your race you may usually end up healing at scroll’s cost.
The following table shows how much gold you will need to move up each healing levels
if only the scroll of your current level is used.
___________________________________________________________
Lvl1 | Lvl2- | Lvl3-| Lvl 4 ->| Lvl5 ->| Lvl6 -->| Lvl7->| Lvl8-->| Lvl9
--------------------------------------------------------------------
30g | 100g | 225g | 647.5g | 1000g | 1462.5g | 2000g | 2750g |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course these are the highest values. Usually you will get heals below the level of the scrolls which will help to lower the cost to level up a bit. Getting to the highest lvls will be a challange but remember not all the money will be from your pocket.
The prestige of being a high level healer brings u many friends and benefits. Therefore please find creative ways to try and increase your skill if u can.
For those who seek healers
As you can see the cost for healing profession is high. Therefore do not disrespect such persons by bothering them about healing your high level injuries for free. Be thankful most healers don’t charge additional fees.
Always seek out healers whose skill is closest to your injury level or if they close to the magical lvl8 (can’t have too many of those).
Also don’t bother level 8 healers with mundane injuries since they have enough to handle, being as how they are few and have many purple injuries to service.
For Aspiring Healers
If you are actively seeking to increase your skill beyond level 2, then please fill out a reply post to this thread using the following headings:
Current Level: The present level of your healing skill
Play Time: What time you play during the week (server times please)
Service: brief description of how you charge for heals (assume that most healers have info on profile)
Example:
Current Level: 6
Play Time: weekdays - 18:00-23:00, weekends – all day
Service: Heal free with scroll. Heals with my scroll has extra charge. See info for more details
Till admins implement a profession page again, hope this substitute to help find our healers easier. Thanks for your cooperation and hopefully will see many changes in our healer levels when 2012 comes around.
