Medic Archive

I am just starting as a medic...

In what order should I develop each of the trees?

Should I do Pharm, Diagnostic or First aid first?

What order is the best way to develope them?

Thanks...

I would work up the Pharm and Diagnostics fields first. You will be able to heal faster with Diagnostics and Pharm will allow you to use more advanced stimpacks. I reached Master Medic before the "big" patch and was sad to hear that alot of "greener" medics couldn't use the better stimpacks until they got thier Pharm up. I would, however, get at least First Aid I, it does come in handy when you get a bleeding wound. I have only had a bleeder a couple times. The first time it was a quickie to heal, but the second time it kept reoccuring everytime I was attacked. Hope this helps a little.

/firstaid is in First Aid II now, i believe...

Pharm doesn't make a difference unless you are using stimpack C's , which require pharm 4, or pharm 3 if the stimpack is experimented on to bring its med use requirment to 30.

So if you can't make your own stimpack C's, and you aren't going to buy them, pharm doesn't help. If your O-chem is 3 or lower, you should be able to use everything you can make with just novice medic.

Diagnostics makes your stimpack (not woundpack) use slightly faster. But not much that I've noticed.

SoI recommend First Aid, for higher heals. Also, work on O-chem. You'll get lots more experience when you can make Stimpack B's and woundpack B's.

I think I would do either diag 1, then first aid 1, then the rest of first aid, then either mroe diag or more pharm. All the while craft all the meds you can to get your Org chem up as you go. it sometimes helps to go get nov. artisan so you can sample your own resources. I did most of the lower parts of master med in a few days or less. for a lot of xp, either sit in the hospital during peak hours and heal people, or go to the cantina with a lot of stim's and heal the dancers. Or as people seem to be getting more and more pets, offer to heal them for the Creature Handlers, etc. I have healed a good number of people's pets with very large HAM bars. I used a few stim D's to do 1416/1416 heals on them. And sure enough i got a lot of medical xp very fast. Now i ahve it maxed...

id get first aid 2 quickly, to stop bleeding.
