Bandages are the first healing consumable most players access in Windrose. They heal over time (HoT) rather than instantly, and they are crafted cheaply at the Level 1 Workbench from a single unit of Coarse Fabric.

When to Use
Bandages are ideal for out-of-combat recovery between fights. The heal over time means they are cheap but fragile: any hit during the 30-second window ends the remaining heal. Pair Bandages with a safe spot (behind cover, after clearing a room, or after dodging out of a boss's telegraphed heavy attack) to maximize the heal.
Getting Coarse Fabric
Bandages are cheap because their only input is easy to make. Coarse Fabric is crafted at the Workbench from plant fiber, which you collect by swinging a weapon at bushes and ferns across the jungle. Because fiber is everywhere on the starting island, you can keep a deep stack of bandages from the very first hours of play. The same fabric line later feeds heavier tailoring, so it is worth gathering fiber on every trip.
Bandages vs Healing Potions
Bandages. Cheap (1 Coarse Fabric), large total heal (900 HP), but over time and cancels on damage. Best for calm recovery
Healing Potions. Expensive (Alchemy Table ingredients), instant heal (~55% of Max Health). Best for emergency recovery during boss fights
Most players carry both. A typical mid-game loadout: 10 to 20 Bandages for general exploration, 3 to 5 Healing Potions for boss fights. The Great Healing Potion replaces Healing Potions at higher tiers.

Verified Heal Value
Bandages restore 900 Health over a 30 second duration. The heal can be interrupted by incoming damage, which makes Bandages best used out of combat or immediately after breaking contact with an enemy.
Tier and Use
Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
Tier | Uncommon |
Heal | 900 HP over 30 seconds |
Interrupt | Yes; incoming damage cancels the HoT |
Best Slot | Hotbar; use after disengaging from bosses or between patrols |
Tips
Add Bandages to the hotbar before every boss fight. Use them in windows where you sprint away and the boss resets.
Do not rely on Bandages as primary boss healing. Use Healing Potions and Great Healing Potions for burst recovery.
