There will probably be some leves in Ishgard, but there are leves all the way up to 45 at the main cities for DoH that don't require any unlocking (except the ones to deliver to the leve camps) so I would expect level 50 and 55 available right away with 3.0, but I could see them requiring recipes you need Ishgard access in order to craft.
