One thing about starting FFXIV from WoW is leave the tutorials on . Crafting and gathering is completely different to WoW and if you turn off tutorials you will be lost in the dark .

There are similar aspects to WoW, but there are a lot of things that need explaining in FFXIV. If you want to PVP I recommend getting to 50 and unlocking Frontlines, SE are working on more for the Wolves Den but atm Frontlines is the easiest place to get wolf marks.

Hope you will enjoy the game ^^ I came from WoW too and I can't see myself ever going back to WoW. Who could switch back to WoW after you can level every Job on one character? XD Plus the dungeons and boss fights are way more enjoyable than WoW imo ^^. I love Primal battles the best!
