+ | After the citizen tells the [[Warrior of Light (Final Fantasy XIV)|Warrior of Light]] about Dark Knights, they eventually discover [[Fray]]. Confident that the Warrior has the potential to become a great Dark Knight using the darkness within them, Fray instructs them to complete various heroic tasks and bring out the darkness within them. With every meeting, Fray asks the Warrior of Light to commune with the voices they've been listening to to further strengthen their darkness. After helping innocents from the [[Amalj'aa]] in [[Eastern Thanalan]], Fray tells the Warrior of Light that while they are close, they are not fit for the job, although they do not completely give up. |
ā | + | Cracks within Fray's mind become more visible over time and his body starts to wear. He is disappointed with the Warrior's sporadic communion with voices, along with the frustration over helping others with little to no compensation for their trouble. After slaying a gang of [[Qiqirn]] bandits at [[La Noscea]] and retrieving stolen goods, the distressed original owner berates the Warrior of Light and demands compensation. Fray has an emotional outburst over their deeds being unrewarded or worse, criticized. |
|
ā | + | The darkness and frustration within Fray reaches an apex as he attacks the Whitebrim Front. [[Drillemont de Lasserrant|Drillemont]] alerts the Warrior of Light. Fray eventually reveals his true identity as the physical manifestation of the Warrior's own dark side, of everything they have been wanting to say deep down inside. Fray's body falls to the ground lifeless as the dark aura around him coalesces into the form of the Warrior of Light, but wearing a dark suit of armor and a sword unlike theirs. The [[Esteem]] brandishes their sword with the intent of cutting down the Warrior of Light and becoming their own person, beholden to no one. The Warrior defeats the doppelganger, but tells them that they've now seen them for what they really are. Drillemont and the inhabitants at Whitebrim raise their voices, proclaiming that they would never forsake the Warrior of Light for all they had done or even what they are, restoring the Warrior's confidence and trust in those around him. The Esteem scoffs it off as mere willful ignorance, claiming that the adventurer is more akin to "Weapon of Light" if they could be so easily controlled and hailed a a hero. The shade claims it's not too late to change now and free themselves, but the Warrior of Light, having come to an understanding, embraces the darkness and casts aside their doubt. Though the darkness leaves the Warrior in peace, it claims it will be waiting still for when they finally tire of the "charade". |

+ | Some time after Fray's passing, the Warrior of Light meets an Auri Dark Knight named Sidurgu, an old friend of Fray who protects a female Ishgardian youth, Rielle, from devout Temple Knights who are on the hunt for her. The Temple Knights are hunting her as she is the daughter of a heretic who drank the blood of a dragon. The one leading the charge is her own mother, [[Ystride de Caulignont]] of House Caulignont, which bears strong ties to the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Ystride challenges the Dark Knights to a duel to determine Rielle's fate, as per Ishgardian tradition. Faced with the possibility of having to fight the higher ranking Temple Knights from an influential [[High Houses of Ishgard|House of Ishgard]], Sidurgu seeks out more power. Their journey brings them to the Mourn in Dravania where, from a Dravanian acquaintance of Rielle's, discovers that the Dark Knights have ancient ties to Moghome. |

+ | Upon journeying to Moghome, Rielle is kidnapped by a group of mischievous [[Moogle (race)|Moogles]] who threaten to keep her to themselves. Sidurgu flies into a blind, murderous rage as the Moogles taunt Sidurgu of her fate. With the Warrior of Light's help he defeats them and the Moogles release Rielle. Through this farce, the Moogles taught Sid that the true power of the Dark Knight stems from love of those close to them. As a Dark Knight's power is tempered by pure emotion, an especially powerful one like love and the feelings that emerge from wanting to save and protect those closest to them, can draw out their true potential. Sidurgu initially rejects this, but cannot deny that there is a hint of truth to it. |

They share "Fending" armor and accessories with [[Paladin (Final Fantasy XIV)|Gladiators]] and [[Warrior (Final Fantasy XIV)|Marauder]]s, but obtain their own artifacts. At level 50 a Dark Knight is given an equivalent in the form of high-quality Heavy Wolfram gear (the item used to obtain it describing it as armor issued to apprentice Dark Knights), but this can be equipped by any tank-role job. At level 60 a Dark Knight obtains a Chaos set, a spiky, black, and thick-plated suit of armor with a tattered chain mail skirt and cloth over-skirt, and accompanying face-obscuring helm. At level 70 a Dark Knight obtains an Abyssal set, a smoother and thinner suit of plate-armor more directly modeled off of [[Cecil Harvey]]'s appearance from ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'', including a white-eyed and fully-enclosed helm. At level 80, a Dark Knight can obtain a Bale set, resembling Cecil's armor the most in its helmet, though leaving the mouth exposed. The rest of the ensemble is a smoother armored open coat with a striped sash around the waist. |

+ | The Job Gauge was introduced in 4.0 ''[[Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood|Stormblood]]''. The Dark Knight uses the Blood Gauge that features a heart-shaped blood-red gem set on a base covered with blue spikes. The gauge indicates whether the Dark Knight is in a defensive stance (Grit). When Grit is in effect, the Dark Knight's ability to repel damage increases but their ability to deal damage decreases. |
ā | The Blood Gauge |
+ | The Blood Gauge incorporates a sword shaped gauge that displays how much Blackblood the knight has accumulated. The gauge is refilled by certain weaponskills, such as Souleater, and is spent by other weaponskills, including Delirium and Bloodspiller, for higher damage. |

+ | In 5.0, the Dark Knight received a second Job Gauge in the form of Darkside, originally the DPS stance for Dark Knights. Represented by a Dark Knight helmet, it glows and fills when using the new abilities Edge of Darkness and Flood of Darkness, increasing the user's potency for all attacks as long as it's active. When The Blackest Night has absorbed enough damage, it is converted into a Dark Arts state indicated by a symbol which allows the use of Edge and Flood of Darkness without MP cost. When Living Shadow is used, a second timer will appear alongside the Darkside gauge. |

Revision as of 11:22, 8 September 2020
Template:Sideicon
Dark Knight is a job in Final Fantasy XIV, introduced in the first expansion pack, Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward. Dark Knight requires no base class and begins at level 30, unlocked by completing the quest "Our End" offered by an Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13, 8).
Profile
The pious Ishgardian clergy guide the flock, and the devout knights protect the weak. Yet even the holiest of men succumb to the darkest of temptations.
None dare to administer justice to these sacrosanct elite residing outside the reach of the law. Who, then, defends the feeble from the transgressions of those meant to guide and protect them?
A valiant few take up arms to defend the downtrodden, and not even the holy priests and knights can escape their judgment. Pariahs in their own land, they are known by many as "Dark Knights".
These sentinels bear no shields declaring their allegiance. Instead, their greatswords act as beacons to guide the meek through darkness.Lodestone
Dark Knight is a tank job, with similar abilities as Paladins and Warriors. The job wields greatswords. In battle, Dark Knights use magicks to infuse their blades with the powers of darkness to strike down their enemies and defend their allies. Most of their abilities involve draining HP from enemies.
Story
Heavensward
After the citizen tells the Warrior of Light about Dark Knights, they eventually discover Fray. Confident that the Warrior has the potential to become a great Dark Knight using the darkness within them, Fray instructs them to complete various heroic tasks and bring out the darkness within them. With every meeting, Fray asks the Warrior of Light to commune with the voices they've been listening to to further strengthen their darkness. After helping innocents from the Amalj'aa in Eastern Thanalan, Fray tells the Warrior of Light that while they are close, they are not fit for the job, although they do not completely give up.
Cracks within Fray's mind become more visible over time and his body starts to wear. He is disappointed with the Warrior's sporadic communion with voices, along with the frustration over helping others with little to no compensation for their trouble. After slaying a gang of Qiqirn bandits at La Noscea and retrieving stolen goods, the distressed original owner berates the Warrior of Light and demands compensation. Fray has an emotional outburst over their deeds being unrewarded or worse, criticized.
The darkness and frustration within Fray reaches an apex as he attacks the Whitebrim Front. Drillemont alerts the Warrior of Light. Fray eventually reveals his true identity as the physical manifestation of the Warrior's own dark side, of everything they have been wanting to say deep down inside. Fray's body falls to the ground lifeless as the dark aura around him coalesces into the form of the Warrior of Light, but wearing a dark suit of armor and a sword unlike theirs. The Esteem brandishes their sword with the intent of cutting down the Warrior of Light and becoming their own person, beholden to no one. The Warrior defeats the doppelganger, but tells them that they've now seen them for what they really are. Drillemont and the inhabitants at Whitebrim raise their voices, proclaiming that they would never forsake the Warrior of Light for all they had done or even what they are, restoring the Warrior's confidence and trust in those around him. The Esteem scoffs it off as mere willful ignorance, claiming that the adventurer is more akin to "Weapon of Light" if they could be so easily controlled and hailed a a hero. The shade claims it's not too late to change now and free themselves, but the Warrior of Light, having come to an understanding, embraces the darkness and casts aside their doubt. Though the darkness leaves the Warrior in peace, it claims it will be waiting still for when they finally tire of the "charade".
Some time after Fray's passing, the Warrior of Light meets an Auri Dark Knight named Sidurgu, an old friend of Fray who protects a female Ishgardian youth, Rielle, from devout Temple Knights who are on the hunt for her. The Temple Knights are hunting her as she is the daughter of a heretic who drank the blood of a dragon. The one leading the charge is her own mother, Ystride de Caulignont of House Caulignont, which bears strong ties to the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Ystride challenges the Dark Knights to a duel to determine Rielle's fate, as per Ishgardian tradition. Faced with the possibility of having to fight the higher ranking Temple Knights from an influential House of Ishgard, Sidurgu seeks out more power. Their journey brings them to the Mourn in Dravania where, from a Dravanian acquaintance of Rielle's, discovers that the Dark Knights have ancient ties to Moghome.
Upon journeying to Moghome, Rielle is kidnapped by a group of mischievous Moogles who threaten to keep her to themselves. Sidurgu flies into a blind, murderous rage as the Moogles taunt Sidurgu of her fate. With the Warrior of Light's help he defeats them and the Moogles release Rielle. Through this farce, the Moogles taught Sid that the true power of the Dark Knight stems from love of those close to them. As a Dark Knight's power is tempered by pure emotion, an especially powerful one like love and the feelings that emerge from wanting to save and protect those closest to them, can draw out their true potential. Sidurgu initially rejects this, but cannot deny that there is a hint of truth to it.

Equipment
Dark Knights wield two-handed greatswords. They share "Fending" armor and accessories with Gladiators and Marauders, but obtain their own artifacts. At level 50 a Dark Knight is given an equivalent in the form of high-quality Heavy Wolfram gear (the item used to obtain it describing it as armor issued to apprentice Dark Knights), but this can be equipped by any tank-role job. At level 60 a Dark Knight obtains a Chaos set, a spiky, black, and thick-plated suit of armor with a tattered chain mail skirt and cloth over-skirt, and accompanying face-obscuring helm. At level 70 a Dark Knight obtains an Abyssal set, a smoother and thinner suit of plate-armor more directly modeled off of Cecil Harvey's appearance from Final Fantasy IV, including a white-eyed and fully-enclosed helm. At level 80, a Dark Knight can obtain a Bale set, resembling Cecil's armor the most in its helmet, though leaving the mouth exposed. The rest of the ensemble is a smoother armored open coat with a striped sash around the waist.
Job Gauge
The Job Gauge was introduced in 4.0 Stormblood. The Dark Knight uses the Blood Gauge that features a heart-shaped blood-red gem set on a base covered with blue spikes. The gauge indicates whether the Dark Knight is in a defensive stance (Grit). When Grit is in effect, the Dark Knight's ability to repel damage increases but their ability to deal damage decreases.
The Blood Gauge incorporates a sword shaped gauge that displays how much Blackblood the knight has accumulated. The gauge is refilled by certain weaponskills, such as Souleater, and is spent by other weaponskills, including Delirium and Bloodspiller, for higher damage.
In 5.0, the Dark Knight received a second Job Gauge in the form of Darkside, originally the DPS stance for Dark Knights. Represented by a Dark Knight helmet, it glows and fills when using the new abilities Edge of Darkness and Flood of Darkness, increasing the user's potency for all attacks as long as it's active. When The Blackest Night has absorbed enough damage, it is converted into a Dark Arts state indicated by a symbol which allows the use of Edge and Flood of Darkness without MP cost. When Living Shadow is used, a second timer will appear alongside the Darkside gauge.

Behind the scenes
The Dark Knight's journal entries are much more personal in nature and only become increasingly more aggressive over time, extending to even the in-game objectives. This appears to be the power of the soul crystal itself, heavily implying a level a sentience as well as Fray's real identity.
At Fan Fest 2018 Las Vegas, Dark Knight was revealed to be the default job for the Warrior of Light in Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers
The Dark Knight class has some allusions to Cloud Strife. The male idle pose when their weapon is drawn is based on Cloud's iconic pose with his sword slung over his shoulder. Similarly, the victory pose emote is identical to Cloud's. The second mentor of the Dark Knight job, Sidurgu, wields a large two-handed sword, has a spiked hairstyle, and has a brooding personality.
