In-Game Time: Unknown
Steps:
1. While atop my chocobo, I equipped the Dated Bronze Hatchet as my MH, and the stats are adjusted along with activating the Botanist class.
2. After equipping the Dated Bronze Scythe in my sub, I receive none of the status bonuses from the item.
3. The first time this happened, I tried mounting/dismounting my chocobo again.
4. Then I tried logging off and restarting.
5. When none of that worked, I tried putting my weathered scythe and wasn't sure if I just wasn't getting stats from subs period, or just the dated bronze scythe.

the stats from sub tools/shields do not reflect on your stats because they are specific to that tool/shield. the only stats that will show are things like str, vit, dex, int, mnd, pie. everythign else is specific to that tool

Thank you MomoDee,

I'll go ahead and submit your information for further testing. Any changes, news or updates regarding this matter will either be made directly to this post, or on the Lodestone site at http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/index.html and official FFXIV forums. Thank you again!

Hello MomoDee!

We have received word back about your concern. While Crafters and gatherers can equip both primary and secondary tools, tools are independent of one another. With this said, only the stats of the tool that is being used for crafting or gathering will be in effect.

One last bit of information that was passed on was that the status window will only reflect information on the primary tool because the secondary tool is sometimes not equipped.

Thank you for the report and helping others get this issue clarified. As always, we look forward to your feedback and requests for matters to be reviewed.
