this also is affecting my spells. I can't get my level 52 spell because the NPC just isn't visible. I suspect its because I need to unlock the expansion :|

so... what gives? I'm confused as to what to do next :\

any ideas?
As others have told you, you still have a lot of quests to go through before you are finished with the ARR content. Just keep following the MSQ like you have been doing.

But just out of curiosity, why did you go to the Ishgard gate guard in the first place? What made you think that was the place to go? There shouldn't be anything in the game telling you to go there yet.
