The "Road to 60" Buff question

[Mantra]

The buff from the new servers, does anyone know if this buff lasts until you first hit 60 or is it active for all sub jobs etc?

[DieselPower]

If you get to level 60 on a job/class it will vanish - but will return when you change to a job/class under level 60.

is it possible to disable this buff somehow? as a new player I'd prefer to do all the content in the game without overleveling it so quickly

You can't. But you don't outlevel too quickly. Instanced Story Content is synced what means if you want to do a Lvl 50 you will be scaled down to max. Lvl 52 for this specific Content even if you r i.e. lvl 60

Don't think so, but you can do the content on different classes/jobs.
Skip most sidequests while leveling your main job, and then go back and use them to get exp when leveling a new class. Doing it that way you should be able to avoid overleveling things too badly - and have a way to get xp for other classes more easily than normal.

You won't get quite the same experience as when doing sidequests in parallell with the Main story, but it all depends on how into lore and story you are.

Alright, thanks a lot for the responses!
I'll be doing side quests anyway so I might as well save them up for my alt classes, that's a good idea

Eh, the story doesn't have to be anything special if the combat is fun (which it really is so far)

Hm, really? Does it take a while for it to reappear, or do you have to change zones with the sub 60 job for it to reappear? I ask because I did a server transfer to a designated world, and while I noticed the buff on a new character I made, I did not get the buff on my transferred level 60, even when I switched to a low level job. That said, I did not try moving into a new zone after switching to a sub 60 job.

Transferred characters do not get the buff, only new characters.

Ah, I just re-read the Lodestone post, and you are correct. Thank you for pointing that out!

Does the buff only affect DoW & DoM, or does it also apply to DoL & DoH?
