Do the side quests introduce you to everything you need to know about the game mechanics, or do I have to go read some guide on the internet to figure everything out? I mean, such as crystals, glyphs, what uncommon (to the genre) stats mean, and so on.
They introduce you to some things, I vaguely remember the mount being introduced, and glyphs which are like talents that you can choose and equip. You don't have to worry about stats too much since gear is based on classes, so the stats are generally the same. Crystals you basically learn what you need by how you play the character. I knew since my health was always really low, that I needed HP regen crystals on my armor, and since I have knockdown skills that I use a majority of the time I got the 5% bonus damage to knockdown crystals for my weapon.
