How to FFXIV - Dude, Where's My Guild?

So the most common question I'm seeing from people in-game is where to go to find X class they want to play but didn't start as.

Some poking at the character creator will help with the combat classes, but I thought I'd lay them all out here for people to use as a reference to finding that one thing they wanted to try out but can't quite locate.

I'm going to use the names that appear on the in-game map under the assumption that anyone looking for one of these places, probably doesn't have the aethernet node unlocked to just warp there.

To unlock a class is as simple as visiting the guild in question, talking to the receptionist at the front counter who will give you a quest AFTER you agree to join the guild. Accept the quest, talk to the guildmaster who will give you a starter main-hand that corrisponds to the class. Equip the main hand he/she gives you and you're golden. Currently every class in the game is unlocked in this manner.

(((HUGS))) xxxxxxx

What do the numbers in the (***) mean? Thanks.
