With the Dragonsong War brought to its conclusion, the Houses of Lords and Commons have approved large-scale reconstruction works aimed at revitalizing the Holy See of Ishgard. The principal site for the project is the Firmament district, which sustained extensive damage during the millennium-long conflict. Appointed overseer of this endeavor is the young Lord Francel of House Haillenarte, who now seeks able and willing artisans the realm over to contribute to this great and noble cause.
The Ishgardian Restoration is an initiative wherein Disciples of the Hand and Land joined forces to help reconstruct the Firmament, a district in the Foundation devastated by the Dragonsong War.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of skybuilders one and all, the Risensong Quarter now stands complete, bringing the restoration effort to a triumphant close. As a new age dawns in Ishgard, luminaries from across Eorzea have been invited to the Firmament to take part in a ceremony commemorating this momentous occasion.

After completing the sidequest "Towards the Firmament," speak with Augebert in the Firmament (X:11.4 Y:14.1) while using any class or job of level 60 or above to experience the latest chapter of the Ishgardian Restoration.
* Players who have already participated in the Ishgardian Restoration will also need to speak to this NPC to begin the new chapter.
To mark the completion of the Firmament, and to bid welcome to visitors from lands near and far, the people of Ishgard will be holding a festival─the Skyrise Celebration. Chief among the amusements at this festival are fêtes, large-scale games offering attractive prizes to their participants. All are encouraged to take part in these challenges and enjoy a moment of hard-earned respite.
A Disciple of the Hand or Land at any level.
Time remaining until the next fête can be confirmed at any time in the Firmament via the duty list.
The celebration is held in twelve sessions over the course of a twenty-four hour period, with one fête held every two hours. When the celebration is concluded, there will be a rest period of one to two days (Earth time) before the next event period begins.
* The timing of fête event periods will differ between Worlds.
Players who earn a sufficient rating will receive a Fête Present, which contains any of a number of prizes. These presents can only be opened in towns or field areas.
Among these presents are Fête Tokens, which can be exchanged for rewards by speaking with Enie in the Firmament (X:12.0 Y:14.0).

Although the reconstruction of the Firmament is complete, there is still demand for construction materials. Disciples of the Land are tasked with gathering these materials, which are used by Disciples of the Hand to craft any necessary supplies.
Speak with Aurvael in the Firmament (X:10.8 Y:14.0) to add the gathering spots for the latest chapter of the Ishgardian Restoration to your gathering log. These locations include those found in the Diadem, which contain materials used in Ishgardian Restoration recipes.

The Diadem is an area exclusively for gatherers and offers items used in Ishgardian Restoration crafter recipes.
| Time Limit | 180 minutes |
|---|---|
| Level Requirement | Miner/Botanist/Fisher Lv. 10 |
| Number of Participants | 1 to 8 Players |
Some items can only be gathered under certain weather conditions. Should such conditions occur, it is the ideal time to seek out these rare items.
During forays to the Diadem, you will gain access to the duty action Aetheromatic Auger. In order to perform the action, you must first increase the auger's store of compressed aether by gathering as a miner or botanist. When you have enough compressed aether, you may expend it to unleash a powerful attack against an enemy. Enemies defeated using the auger are known to yield a wealth of resources.
Adjustments are made to experience point gain for each item gathered. To a certain degree, even low-level items will grant experience points appropriate to the player's current level.
Flotpassant in the Firmament (X:10.8 Y:14.0) will inspect any items gathered in the Diadem.

The restoration status of all Worlds can be viewed at the Builders' Progress Report page below.
At the conclusion of the Firmament's reconstruction, ranking results from all crafters were tallied based on class. A monument was then built in honor of the crafting class in each World with the highest combined score, modeled after the crafting tool used by said class.
Crafters submitting items to the Ishgardian Restoration can participate in the Kupo of Fortune.
* The corresponding class must be level 20 or above.
The Kupo of Fortune is a game of chance that can be played by delivering certain items to Potkin in the Firmament (X:12.2 Y:14.6) and collecting stamps on a voucher.
Once you have collected five stamps, you may exchange the voucher for a Kupo of Fortune card. You may carry up to ten Kupo of Fortune cards. The items that offer stamps vary according to the player's crafter class level.
