came back, where to go

[Enkidoh]

Welcome back!

The first thing that needs to be asked is, when did you last play the game? There have been 5 main story content patches released after ARR that lead into Heavensward's story and are required to be completed before you can access the expansion content, new Jobs and stuff. If the last main story quest you finished was 'The Ultimate Weapon', then the first thing you should do is go back to the Waking Sands and speak to Minfilia in the Solar, as she will have the first main story quest for the patch 2.1 story A Realm Awoken available, 'The Price of Principles'.

If you last played the game later than that, then open your journal and check if there is any quests listed under '7th Astral Era Main Scenario Quests', and then compare it on this page to see where you need to go next (click on 'A Realm Reborn' on the page to show the ARR quests, as the page shows the Heavensward main scenario by default: http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Ca...Scenario_Quest

As well, it would pay to revisit your Job NPC as they will have a new Job quest for you to do (as with the level cap increase to level 60 now, you will only gain new Job abilities through completing new Job quests every two levels instead of gaining abilities on your class automatically - you will only be able to do the first new one at level 50 though as beyond that they will take you into the new Heavensward] areas which you need to complete the patch storyline first before you can access I'm afraid.

These pages are a good guide for checking the main content unlocked through quests throughout both ARR and it's patch scenarios, and Heavensward and it's patches.

Hopefully this has helped.
