Some questions

There really isn't much to buy from NPC's in FFXIV as far as gear and weapons go it is very heavily crafter dependant. You can however get R1 weapons for every class from all the various shops. Hawkers Alley in Lower Limsa has a fair few NPC stalls. As for the Market Wards they are entered in Upper Limsa where it says "Southern Islands"

ahh cool thanks I need to find some crafters to give my shards to/ sell my shards to anyway. idk if my bros laptop can handle the market wards ^.^;;

Was hoping for @ least some R1-10 gear buyable from npc. Idm though. Wish I had more then 2 hrs to play. But hey least I am playing know. ^^

@ shad
Ok thanks, That helps out a ton. They REALLY need a map marker for them.

I would just keep the shards, you can use them yourself later.
You can get gear 1-20 from NPC, you will find the NPCs standing around in the marketwards.
(I am not talking about retainer) Go to armorer raw for example, you will see a NPC standing right in the middle/center, he will sell you armor. different NPC on different raws and some raws have no NPC.

You will see that you can find most of the gear and weapons cheaper sold by other people, NPC is usually expensive (unless for r1 arrows and some other simple items).
Also you really do not need to buy new armor for ranks 1-12 or so, it is waste of cash. Game is so easy that you can get to R20 in just 1 day if you know where to rank up.
