The quick answer
Unlock Healer through Legacy: Healer’s Calling with Mu Ji’an in Qinghe, then diagnose patients with Wind Sense and treat them in the prescription-card minigame. Develop the career and relevant prescriptions separately. The objective is to defeat the illness while preserving your own treatment resources.

Unlock Healer in Qinghe
The introductory route begins at character level 13 with Legacy: Healer’s Calling. Find Mu Ji’an near Mercyheart Village, follow the marked herb-gathering request and complete the tutorial treatment. Use the quest’s marked objective rather than assuming herbs already in your bag satisfy a collection step.
After the tutorial, open the Healer entry in the Careers or Professions menu. Familiarise yourself with career progression, prescriptions and available treatment activities before choosing a more demanding patient.
Diagnose before deciding how to treat
Approach the patient, use Wind Sense and begin the diagnosis interaction. Inspect the illness and the recommended Healing Mastery. This is career-specific information, not your Martial Mastery score.
Choose an encounter you can use to learn. If a player request is far beyond your current treatment setup, develop it through easier activities first. Entering the same difficult case repeatedly without changing the deck or career level is unlikely to produce useful progress.
A reliable approach to each treatment turn
A treatment succeeds when the patient’s Affliction Severity reaches zero. Your Vital Energy is the resource you must keep from running out; Fieryhearts pay for prescription cards. Standard treatment also has a 10-round limit, so surviving indefinitely is not a winning strategy. Check the encounter’s displayed counters before choosing your first card.
- Check the illness’s next action and your remaining Vital Energy.
- Play an applicable buff before the action it improves.
- Use treatment cards to reduce the illness’s remaining severity.
- Add protection when the forecast threatens your survival.
- Spend the turn’s resources deliberately and watch the remaining rounds.
Illustrative turn: with 3 Fieryhearts, a 1-cost setup card leaves 2 for treatment. If you instead spend all 3 on an unrelated action, the setup cannot pay off that turn. Read whether a buff affects the next card, the current turn or a longer duration before deciding its order. The costs in this example illustrate budgeting; they are not a prescribed deck.
Understand the two treatment families
| Family | What to inspect |
|---|---|
| Physiotherapy | The prescriptions and attributes used for the relevant physical treatment. |
| Qi Therapy | The prescriptions and attributes used for the relevant internal treatment. |
| Defensive prescriptions | Whether protection is worth its cost against the forecast action. |
| Resource or draw effects | Whether they enable a stronger sequence this turn or next. |
Avoid filling a deck with expensive cards simply because they look stronger. Try a combination whose costs fit together. For example, a low-cost setup card is useful only if you can still afford the treatment action that benefits from it.
Improve the cause of a failed treatment
If you survive but run out of rounds, review your treatment output and how often you spend turns without reducing the illness. If you lose Vital Energy early, review the forecast and your defensive choices. If the whole encounter feels beyond reach, inspect career rank and prescription levels.
Career Notebooks improve Healer progression; prescription improvements are separate. Use upgrades to solve the problem you observed. Quick Treatment may become available for cases your mastery sufficiently exceeds, but it does not replace learning the card game for harder patients.

Common questions
Can I cure my own illness through the Healer treatment minigame?
The profession treats other patients. For your own illness, use the available clinic treatment or request another player’s help; equipping a healing combat skill does not automatically remove the illness.
Is Healing Mastery the same as Martial Mastery?
No. Inspect the Healer career for treatment readiness and the combat development screens for Martial Mastery.
