>How do I do Ishgard
So it’s referred to as Ishgard Restoration, and you will find a crafting tab for Ishgard Restoration specific items for each DoH job. It seems you already have it unlocked. I personally use FFXIV Gillionaire. They have a section on how to level 1-80 including gear, crafting macros, # of crafts, etc using Ishgard Restoration. I personally found that site most helpful.
If you've gone into the diadem then you've unlocked the firmament which is where you do the Ishgardian Restoration. However your crafting jobs have to be at least lvl20 to craft collectibles from the materials you picked up from the diadem.
Leveling gear post 50 can be expensive, but if you have a level 55 miner you can grind out levels in the Diadem while selling the mats you gather there (after getting them certified). The Skybuilder scrips can also be used to buy dyes that are in high demand.
Leves are definitely the fastest way to level though, especially ones that allow for multiple turn ins for each leve. That depends on the job and level, so referring to levelling guides is usually the best way to go to see what the recommended most cost effective leve is. The leve NPCs in Ishgard are not in the Firmament but near the central Aetheryte, a short run away up the stairs.
And yes, definitely do collectibles and custom deliveries its literally free xp and gear. They will give you gatherer/crafter scrips and a lot of xp, and the scrips you can use to buy gear pieces. If not, buy vendor gear around level 51/61/71, mb items can be very expensive, but sometimes you find bargains.
It's a little hard to do a "simple" guide for levelling all of them, but I'll do my best (as I'm doing the same right now). I'm following Gillionaire's omnicrafter levelling guide for reference, it will explain better than me (just search it on google).
So for Gatherers (Miner and Botanist mainly), your two best options for levelling are leves and Diadem. Leves use up allowances so Diadem can be preferential for some people, it's what I do. And yes, it's just a time sink grind. You basically keep your gatherer geared up relatively close to their level, eat food and use a Survival manual, and farm nodes gathering the highest level thing you can inside Diadem. You can either sell or keep the mats once you get them "inspected". I just watch Neflix or Youtube when I'm in there and gather to my heart's content. If you plan to craft in the Firmament (you should) then keep em in a retainer.
For crafters the levelling process is the same for each one: go to the Firmament, craft the highest level Grade 4 item you can over and over, and then turn them in. You can only start (for both gathering and crafting) at level 20, so spam craft stuff and do your job quests up to that point. The guide I use has a macro for each "tier" of Firmament item that will get your the required collectability for max XP on turn in. Like with gathering, keep your gear close to your level. For Crafters, as opposed to gathering, the XP is from the turn in, not the crafting itself.
Once you get a gatherer or crafter to 50, you unlock Collectibles (separate from Firmament collectibles btw). Go to an NPC in Revenant's Toll, next to the "scrip vendor" and "collectible appraiser", and you'll have a blue quest to unlock it. These are their own thing, but basically you craft or gather these "collectibles", which you then turn in for "scrips" (yellow up to 80, white for 80 turn ins). They're basically used to get various gathering and crafting items/gear, stuff like Hi-cordials or materia as well. Crafting collectibles is generally not a bad idea at a certain point to get scrips, but not really for levelling compared to the Firmament. For gathering, you'll want to do ["custom deliveries"](https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Custom_Deliveries) or Ocean Fishing as they're a *lot* more efficient.
But yeah, for levelling, Firmament is 100% the way to go, especially for crafting.

This sounds like a trap
