Did my first Kirin run with the LS last Saturday morning. We did two Kirins, which was pretty fun. Getting to Kirin’s spawn room had to be the most annoying thing ever as the teleport pad kept sticking me in the magic pots room, so I wound up escaping myself about 5-6 times before I got into the right room. We had about two alliances set up for Kirin, one group being the kiters at the beginning waiting for Kirin to summon all the lesser gods and the 2nd alliance there to kill the lesser gods. Once that was done, parties reformed and we went after him. Killed both Kirins within an hour averaging about 20-25 mins. per Kirin. First drops were ok, second time we got the pole and the osode and RaiseIII (which no one needed). While I am slightly irritated with the handing out of the drops (namely the Kirin’s Pole since it’s kind of obvious that the monks should be the FIRST to get this item), I think it was overly fun.

This run was also the first time I ever got to fight Suzaku, which was pretty neat. I would like to fight Genbu again as I’d really like a Genbu’s shield in the future to get rid of my ugly darksteel buckler, but yeah, I’m in no extreme hurry.

Dynamis-Jeuno was the day afterward. Huge gathering, about 60+ people. Went very smoothly and was nice since it was the first Dynamis I have now cleared in record time. Duelist Tights dropped and my lot was beat only by 30 points, which made me sad, but hey, I wasn’t expecting to win something on my 3rd ever Dynamis. ^^;; Kind of disappointing, but not really. We owned Dynamis so badly that by the end, we had 30 mins left and no mobs left to pull.

Been leveling NIN lately. Got it to 20 last night. ^^ So much fun. It’s also pretty neat since I can synth +1 my own weapons and stuff, so it’s kind of spiffy seeing my entire equip window covered with +1 items. Planning on taking it to 37 ASAP and perhaps make it my next 75 job since I am completely lovin’ it.
