Make sur to uprade to the 63 gearset
Also make sure to have materia melding unlocked as you will need to meld some materia your gear to increase the CP cap
From this point onwards, you should farm Collectables along the way at this point to help afford gear at level 70. Leveling one class through collectables is more than enough to afford the gear but you can level multiple if the materials are cheap. You can even use the scrips to sell materia and make gil while you level.
Dont forget to use craftway to make a macro for each of the crafts
If you dont have it unlocked just follow the step bellow.
Unlocking Materia Overmelding
To unlock Advanced Materia Melding aka Overmelding, you'll need to visit Mutamix Bubblypots and complete his quest 
Melding Materia Muchly. You'll be required to meld any materia 8 times in his presence, you can meld and [Retrieve Materia] to accomplish this. Complete any lingering quests from the NPCs around him as some are prerequisites.

From here on it is recommend to do the same as leveling to 70. Using a mix of the Ishgardian Restoration and Collectables. You will want to level at least 1 class from Collectables for Scrips for gearing but it is perfectly viable to level all classes this way if you would like which will make it easy to afford masterbooks, gear, materia and items to sell and make gil from while you level.
level 70 also has the option of facet quests unlocked in the Crystarium. They are shared between groups of classes:
- Facet of Forging: Blacksmith, Armorer, Goldsmith
- Facet of Crafting: Carpenter, Leatherworker, Weaver
- Facet of Nourishing: Alchemist, Culinarian
I would advise using these quests for Armorer, Leatherworker and Culinarian. Leatherworker is the most important to focus these quests on as materials are more expensive.
The most important thing to spend your scrips on is the Handsaint set for level 80 gear.

If youre not 80 at this point go and do all your class quest as you need 
Manipulation and they will give enough exp to reach this point. If for some reason the class quest did not get you here do leves or collectables or deliveries to reach this point.
We are finally leaving Ishgard and are now working on collectables! You can also do leves or deliveries to reach the next point.
On top of this there is an equivalent of the previous expansions Facet quests called Studium Deliveries. These are located in Old Sharlayan inside The Studium.
- Faculty of Archaeology: Blacksmith, Armorer, Goldsmith
- Faculty of Astronomy: Carpenter, Leatherworker, Weaver
- Faculty of Medicine: Alchemist, Culinarian
These are exactly the same as the previous expansion. I would advise spending these quests on Armorer, Leatherwoeker and Culinarian to make things easier.

Welcome to Dawntrail!!!
As with level 80-90 your main sources of experience points will be from Leves and Collectables. Collectables should be your go to at this level range. This is because leveling 8 crafters via Collectables allows you to gain all the materia XI needed for a lv100 endgame meldset. This saves a lot of time compared to doing Leves and then having to Scrip farm Purple Scrips later on.
Additionally, there are the Wachumeqimeqi Deliveries which can be great sources of experience. I recommend using them Leatherworker, Alchemist and Armorer. The Wachumeqimeqi Deliveries split the classes in the following ways:
- XRral Soj Metalwares: Blacksmith, Armorer, Goldsmith
- Epistles by Pameka : Carpenter, Leatherworker, Weaver
- Xeerol Ja Juicecraf: Alchemist, Culinarian
