New to game...Can't find my way in the world, please help

From Western Thanalan?

There's an exit to Central Thanalan near the bridge on the East side of the map.



Go through there and head Northeast. You should find Black Brush Station (another place with an Aetheryte, so make sure you attune to it!)

From Black Brush Station, go East again (you'll run past a creek and then an area full of large frogs) and there will be a place on the map to go to Eastern Thanalan. Go through there and you'll be dropped right near Camp Drybone. Attune to the Camp Drybone Aetheryte once you get there and you'll be able to teleport there in the future if you want to get there quickly.
