The blueish exclamation mark only shows you where the according fate will spawn eventually. You'll encounter those marks when unlocking the Crystal Tower-raid, too.

tyi: You may not know that you can get the Fate-drops always, although you're not having the quests right now.
If you're starting with a beasttribe you can look at http://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wi...d_Daily_Quests for example, search for "Fate" and do those whenever your stumbling over them.

Don't get to much though, it's random if you get the quest often enugh to spend all items. I had to throw away at least 10 fate-items (across all beastrtribes) when I was done with the tribes. -.- ^^
