Is "road to 70" buff as good as I think it is?

[Omedon]

So I've returned to FFXIV for the first time since 4 months into ARR when I passed through it at ARR launch on a WoW hiatus, I've rolled a new character, and I have this "road to 70" buff. If I'm understanding this right... does that mean I can like... get every class to mid 60's at full bonus before going further?

Before anyone tells me that's crazy... this is a secondary MMO that I'm playing in off times from my primary game, and I really just love the world and am not in a hurry to get to the level cap. That being said, are there caveats to this buff that I don't know but others might know to pass on to me here? Because for an altoholic (that translates into a single-character job completionist in FFXIV) this seems like paradise!

Yes you can and no it isn't crazy. The buff can feel borderline insane at times gaining 2-3 levels after normal Ifrit etc.

[Yoshingo]

Yup it sure does.

Its such a cool bonus, I really wish I had it haha. Lets you try out a ton of different jobs to see what you like. Go crazy and find something you like!

(Yes I know I can get it if I switch servers but that's not happening :P)

Just be aware that it expires 90 days after it starts. If FFXIV is a secondary MMO and you only pop in once in a while, it might not take you as far down the path of raising multiple jobs as you're currently projecting.

Ah, ok! Well in a way that’s good because otherwise I might never see shadowbringers while it’s current! Knowing there’s an end point, and to prioritize my main job(s) gives me a bit of direction and something to look forward to when the buff goes away! Thanks for letting me know!

Doesn't it work on the crafting jobs too? Been a bit since I made a new toon with the buff.

Yes, it made crafting bearable to level prior to the changes, don't think crafting should be too bad right now though, a lot of people seem to level through the new content they added.

It's awesome. However, it only lasts for 90 days or until the server stops using it. I was like wtf..it's gone. Then found out about the 90 day duration or server stops being prefered.

Yeah I'm being strategic with how I'm using it, focusing my main non-tank class through the story (because tanks just own the open world should I have to use leves or whatever) then crafting classes. I'll have lots of time over the next 90 days while "the other game" is in somewhat of a lame duck phase.
