Quests
There's the Storyline quests, which you have every 10 levels.
There's Guildleves which you can do 8 of every 48 hours. When done, you go exchange then, and you are able to exchange up to 4 that you've done for a single new one with improved reward. All guildleves are interchangeable like that. You can switch from battle leves to field leves, and the crafting leves are another story, as those are Local Guildleves, while the other types are Regional Guildleves.
Guildleves are always found at the Inn, it seems.
Crafting
The Beta sites has some basic recipes listed in the Player Guide.
Other than that, the players are expected to find out by themselves by trial and error what works and what doesn't, making crafting significantly harder but also significantly more rewarding (being the first crafter to figure out how to create The Mighty Sword of Pwning would be awesome, I suspect).

Armor Shops
I don't remember any from Closed Beta, they might have added some in Open but I only been in Ul'dah so far in Open and I gave the appropriate information in this thread: http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/forum/v...=25&t=1339
Other than that, try the Market Wards.
