road to 60/70 buff questions

[The Masquerade]

i just found out about this but cant really find any decent info about it. from what ive seen worlds marked with a * are supposed to be under its affects. when i checked the data center the primal server was the only one i saw with a star and just so happens to be my how server with my world being famfrit. but i cant find a way to see if im under the buffs effect. is there any way to find out if im under its effect?

are there any limitations to the buff?

does the buff have a time limit?

is it possible to get said buff by trasnfering worlds? ive seen conflicting information on this.

p.s can i redeem my shadowbringer code now or do i do it after the next maintenance?

Early Access code is already redeemable, the full game will be redeemable after the maintenance.

I'm pretty sure there should be a buff at the top of the screen with all the others, but not entirely sure.

The buff lasts as long as SE believes that server to be underpopulated, but meanwhile you will always have it.

yeah i havent noticed any icon to show if i have it but as for the code i already did the preoder done so ill just have to redeem the main code whenever it finishes

Primal shouldn't have any preferred worlds at all. The only NA datacenter that has preferred worlds is Crystal, and it has 3. You probably just read the wrong thing.

You'll know if you have the road to 60 buff because it's an orange star buff icon on the top of your screen, and it will tell you every time you log in if you have it.

The only limitation is that it doesn't work for level 70 and above. If you get a class above 70, you can switch to a lower level class, and you'll get the buff back. So you can train all of your classes with the experience buff.

The buff lasts until SE decides that the world is no longer preferred. Once your home world gets taken off the preferred world list, the buff will last for 30 days, and then it's gone forever until the server becomes preferred again (rarely happens, but does happen sometimes).

If you transfer from a congested world (Gilgamesh, Balmung, etc.) into a preferred world, you will get the experience buff. I'm not sure if it works with transferring from standard to preferred, but I wouldn't chance it unless you know for certain.

Also, if you world visit, you will still keep the buff as long as your home world is preferred. So if you have friends on Balmung, you can create a character on Goblin, then just world visit to Balmung, and you still get to level twice as fast as everybody else.

so how does one go about finding which servers and worlds are hosting the bonus?

We just hit maintenance like an hour ago. We can't tell you anything until it's up.

According to some keyboard commando`s on Reddit, The experience buff is a lousy 10%. Square should have made it 90% less needed per level if they really wanted to help their loyal customers rather than just sell them boosters for a nice profit for almost zero work on their part.

The buff grants 2x exp and has a buff icon on you're screen.
It has a 90 day time limit for NEW characters created on said bonus world only

EXP Buff for preffered servers is x2, not a lousy 10% like you said. Advantages and disadvantages for the buff are already listed in above posts.

Actually, you and I were both wrong.

There is a 90 day time limit when the world changes from preferred to standard. If it's still preferred, there is no time limit, and it's 90 days, not 30 days like I previously stated.
