Welcome to Eorzea!
If you want more deep informations about the functions of the game, the Lodestone is a good instruction book online =)

Just wanted to say hello. I just got the game,I have always loved the FF series.
I have played about an hour so far and WOW so much to learn. I am fairly new to MMO's. I have only played Spiral Knights and then recently played DragonSoul for a very short time. So I am going to slowly try and learn all I can so as to make the game enjoyable. Is there a wiki by chance? Heck I don't even know how to heal myself yet when fighting something lol. I will learn though. Hope to meet some of you in game.

OMG!! He mentioned another game/games besides FFXIV someone alert the mods to have this thread shut down!

You may have been introduced to GuildLeves.

Don't do the ones for level 1. Save them for when you hit level 10.

Kill the critters outside city, you get lots of mats and shards and level you up efficiently. Those sell well on the Marketplace and should get you started. Do remember to employ a slave(retainer) first.

I would suggest the lodestone as the first source of information, but since they've changed the game so many times they often forget to update some of the minor guides there. Such as the battle guide is still not updated.

My best recommendation would be to just try to fumble around the game. Diving into manuals might help you find neat shorthand tips, such as macros or command lines to help you streamline some of your gameplay, (E.G. typing in /pcmd add Player_Name allows you invite someone without the hassle of navigating the GUI) but most of the basic stuff you should be able to just pick up on the fly.

Welcome to you Deb!

You may browse the forums if you like, just be warned: General Discussion is full of discussion and QQs and TOR and Tera and WoW and ...you get the idea (oh FFXI also!). Other sub-forums are ok.

If you need help in anything, don't hesitate to ask. We like helping people, and more if it means that they'll stay for a while
The other posts have already said enough, but try going to the New Player Forum - you might find people with similar problems as you right now that you started.

ps: Maelstrom is the best GC.
