Alas, since entering the new era of the Seventh Astral, I realized I no longer can accept, nor turn in quests as Disciple of Land or Hand. It was a blow indeed.
Regardless, the pressure is on but then I realize how insignificant it is to keep the main story aligned to the levels now. It is more important to keep my levels equal at best and at least to 59 before the end of the Road to 60.
Am I obsessive? Very much so, I suppose. Then I woke up to this.
Ah, life. Those can wait.
But the hard mode dungeons are soooo fun....
Hah, true. I just need to do other things first. I look forward to them.
If you are on a preferred server, you still get the Road to 60 buff for any characters that are less than level 60.
It turns off when you switch to a level 60+ job and turns back on when you switch to any 1-59 job.
Unfortunately, it is not as simple as that anymore. Once I joined, it was preferred sure, but a week and a half later it changed to standard, which means I am on a dead-end of 90 days which has diminished now. So until then, I have time. I do wonder if it resets again would the server change to preferred again?
