I'm just about to give up with all these walls to climb. I normally don't complain but just to do get to the first dungeon is a big mountain to climb for me as a whm. I'm just about to give up. I keep forgetting why I keep quitting, I love this game but some times it can drive you insane.
Go back to ishgard, there should be a few extra breadcrumb quests that popped up to lead you to more.
