This article is about the new, gatherer-exclusive version of the Diadem that was launched to complement the Ishgardian Restoration in patch 5.21. For the version that existed between patch 3.55b and patch 5.1, see The Diadem/Old.

The Diadem
“
Gatherers may now travel to the Diadem to collect items for use in Ishgardian Restoration crafter recipes.
— In-game description
The Diadem is a zone in Abalathia's Spine. It is as much an instance as it is a zone. Unlike the Firmament, the Diadem is cross-server within your Data Center, up to 72 players may be present, and you have a 180 minute (Earth time) limit inside, after which you must zone out and back in. This is the same as other Field Operations and is a remnant of the Diadem's tumultuous development. In Party Finder, The Diadem is available under "Gathering Forays." Only Disciples of the Land may be present in The Diadem and you cannot change to any non-DoL class or job while inside.
General Information
The Diadem has undergone a mechanical makeover specifically aimed at Disciples of the Land (gatherers). Players looking to acquire materials used in Ishgardian Restoration recipes can now head to the Diadem at their leisure and utilize any Disciple of the Land (Miner, Botanist or Fisher), provided they are level 10 or above. Creatures encountered at the Diadem will now remain in a passive state, giving gatherer's the freedom to traverse the Diadem and gather resources at their leisure without the threat of being attacked. However, thanks to the new Aetheromatic Auger (which is essentially a 
Limit Break for gatherers), players can utilize a specialized rocket-launcher to obliterate a creature in return for a hefty sum of materials. The Aetheromatic Auger gauge, stylized as "Compressed Aether", is filled by successfully gathering items as a Miner or Botanist.
Despite the Diadem being centric to Ishgard Restoration material gathering, it will still provide Disciples of the Land with level-adjusted experience and a chance of rare and valuable materials, making it a great option regardless of the gatherer's level. It is also worth noting that some materials can only be gathered during specific weather conditions within the Diadem (
Umbral Flare, 
Umbral Tempest, 
Umbral Levin, 
Umbral Duststorm). Also, materials are somewhat randomized, meaning that you will not get the same resources by using the same gathering node repeatedly or by remaining in a particular area.
Once your foray into the Diadem is complete, players can bring the gathered materials to Flotpassant (X:10.8, Y:14.0) in the Firmament for inspection. After doing so, players are rewarded with 
Skybuilders' Scrips, and the materials can then be used for Ishgard Restoration crafting recipes, or even be sold via the Market Board.
Unlock
To unlock the Diadem you just need a Lv.10 gatherer class and need to speak with Aurvael located in The Firmament at (X:10.8, Y:14.0). After unlocking, speak with Aurvael again to travel to the Diadem. You will be able to go into the Diadem with any of your Lv.10+ gatherers.

Lore
Aetheromatic Auger
“
By accumulating surrounding aether and focusing it through a lens of corrupted crystal, this experimental weapon has the potential to deal extensive damage to its target. However, not nearly enough aether exists in normal environs to lend it the necessary power, so it was repurposed as an excavation tool for the Diadem. Amongst the abundant aether of the islands, this tool earned its keep by obliterating menacing seedkin and soulkin, thereby gaining the Ishgardina Restoration project an abundance of raw materials.
— Encyclopædia Eorzea Volume III, p. 249
