Help with duty finder.

The previous answers already covered the main issue (and it looks like the OP is now past this point anyway), so I'll just add that it's quite common for players to out-level their progression in the main scenario during this early part of the game. I think I was almost to level 20 when I got to that level 15 quest to unlock Sastasha, and there have been quite a few adjustments to the game since then which speed up leveling even more.

If you don't like over-leveling content, you can pick up a second class and alternate quests between two of them to spread out the XP enough to stay on track with the main scenario levels. Or you can just wait it out, because later in the game, as it takes more and more XP to gain successive levels, your quest levels will tend to catch up with you. Plus, in the meantime, instanced dungeons are level-synced anyway, so being over-leveled is really only an issue for the open world portion of the content.

Oh, if you're the type who likes to keep re-running dungeons until you get all their good loot, that pattern can definitely make you out-level your quests quickly, even in the later portions of the game where leveling takes longer. So I'd definitely recommend this sort of loot farming be done on alternate classes.

Not anymore. Having tried it on an alt a couple days ago, the way SE boosted the exp, you could get for example CONJ 15, THM 15 and then your ARC/SCH/SMN is already 35 while you are still on the level 25 story quest. So unless you level all classes to 15 before continuing your story line, you from now on, sadly out level the content by a lot. Especially if you play every aspect of the game, some fates here and there, challenge log, duty roulettes, dungeons, hunting log, grand company log etc.

SE should really think about their boosts before adding more. I do understand they want to get people into HW as quick as possible but by now it's just ridiculous.

Part of the issue here is that they tend to focus speed boosts on low-level content, which had always been fast to level even from the very start. For instance, consider the Brand New Ring that boosts XP by 30% for levels 1-30 (or 15-30 for your first class, since you have to be 15 to get it). That's just speeding up the part that's already too fast. If they'd instead created something that leaves leveling alone during that early content, but then speeds up XP from 40-50 or 50-60, it might have been more useful.
