I'm curious, has anyone here ever seen, or fought AV (Absolute Virtue)? I've heard about him not too long ago, and from what I hear, he's unbeatable. He is basically immunie to melee, magic, bard song's, etc. He has never been beaten on any sever, and even full alliances of 100 players (each lvl 75) couldn't put a dent in him.
I guess this is a God... but he is like the Ultimate-God, like he's not meant to be defeated or something. I'm guessing Square probably place some kind of secret in the game to beating him... just hoping someone will find it soon. ^^;
Vana'diel Bestiary: Kirin

General Information
Kirin Special Attacks
Historical InformationQilin (Kirin in Japanese) was a creature in Chinese mythology said to have the head of a dragon, the antlers of a deer, the scales of a fish, the hooves of an ox, and the tail of a lion. It is said that the Qilin is a benevolent creature, only becoming violent when a good person is threatened by a sinner, in which, among other ways, it will attack the sinner by breathing fire. While the dialogue spoken by Kirin when he is spawns suggests that he is one of the Shijin of East Asian mythology (see Seiryu, Suzaku, Genbu, and Byakko), he is never in actuality associated with them, but is another prominent creature.

Absolute Virtue was spawned not too long ago. It spawns after Jailer of Love dies (i think JoL), by (i think) blue Garter. Which server it was on though i dont remember. I know there have been numerous links posted all over that give the links to an insane long message board that was being updated during JoL fight.
AV was a huge suprise to them, and wiped them all with some insane spells.

Yeah, it was Blue Gartr (think they teamed up with a JP ls-Feather?) killed JoL which popped AV. To kill JoL they had loads of BLMs and kept rotating them for continuous nuking. Couldn't get AV past 98% or something, uses all 2 hours tier2 AM, insta-cast Meteor..(the list goes on), and is gonna take a while for any ls to take down for a while.

My LS just fought Kirin for the first time and won after 2:25hrs. We had around 40-50 people there (99% of which have never seen/fought Kirin before). Numbers for each may be off but had about 5 BLMs, 2 or 3 RNG, 3 NIN, 1 SMN, 4 or 5 PLDs, and then the rest. LOTS of death. Namely in the beginning with the 4 Gods summoned (one at a time). Several deaths there, but after the last was killed... deaths just kept rolling constantly. At around 50% health, we finally got the hang of it somewhat. Deaths started to simmer down, maybe 1 every 5min average. Sometimes less sometimes more. PLDs were kiting it for most of the fight after SMNs. So it was inevitable that they were gonna die at some point. Around the last 1/3 hp, it stopped casting spells. Is it possible for mobs to run out of MP?
It dropped the Osode, Pole, and Wyrmal legs abj. Pretty good drops apparently compared to what I've read about.

yea i think it is possible for Kirin to run out of mp. first time i did this we took 4 hrs to kill (yea i kno, dont even say it), and the second half of the fight he didnt do any spells. we thought he maybe wouldnt be able yo Astral Flow, but he managed that, but otherwise around 2 hrs wit no magic
we just killed him in Endless - he dropped a Wind Crystal, thats all.
my god... i just wanna smack some of these people. "Easy. I solo'd him on my BST." shut the **** up man, not even a worth while smart a$$ comment -.- "he takes 2-3 hours to kill" no...no he doesent. my ls killed him in 56 mins today. hes not hard unless its your first time fighting him. and even then its just getting everything down right. and to who ever used plds to kite him....by all means you should not have won, cause by the looks of what you said you guys even let him cast his big spells -.- AF ok thats somthing that can kill a few people/main allience if hes set up right. but hes not that terribly hard. you want a challeng? go ***** with Vrtra in king ramparres tomb. or tiamat. to every one else who knows what they are talking about keep up the good work =)
Yea he's pretty tough. But you soloing Kirin? Doubt it.
Anyways, sky is an exchange area. Exp for gil, simple as that. Lose exp but make money.

Woot, my first time in sky last night (just completed ZM12 a couple of days ago), killed Kirin, was in the alliance when he went down, and got the title as a lvl 69 BLM. Big Pimpin.
Thanks to the RuneBearer's LS on Fenrir, my first day in the LS and it was awesome.

first of all coromaru, you're a waste of space for saying that.
kirin takes 36 people to beat comfortably, that means kicking and inviting another full alliance when other members die or w/e.
it's one of the most planned out battles anyone will have to comfront, you need certain jobs to stand here and do this. blah blah blah
kirin is a tough mother but if you plan it right and have skilled players it goes smooth

My HNMLS killed Kirin for the first time about a week ago and got an Osode, N.Abj: Body, and an D.Abj: Body... I was just wondering if that would be considdered "good" drops from Kirin...?
ok, thanks, i have never killed Kirin before... so i was just wondering ^^

Hetacomb Harness is a 'meh', drops off almost every one we kill. Osode is nice, low drop rate and one of his best drops, tied only with Shining (IMO). Shura Togi very nice too, pretty rare drop, nice piece. All in all, Shining or Crimson Cuisess would've been nice, but Osode makes up for it.
That's actually a pretty damn good drop, right there.

, please tell me the first time you see a pick up party shouting for Kirin in Jeuno. I want screenshots of this, I have not been rolling on the floor laughing in a long time.
There is a thing called a Linkshell that is how you get these people together. You say 18 people, try more like around 36 people. I know some can do it with less, and I know some need more, but 36 is the average for Kirin.

ok, honestly, why do they make lvl 95 mobs when the highest lvl is 75? they are oblviously too strong for a normal party, and your really gonna find 18 lvl 75 people very fast. congrats to all the players who beat kirin, thats true skill, but i think SE should create quests where you can break lvl 75 and so on.
... Baka. -.-
See, I wasn't gonna say anything, until I see a Thf with an underleveled sub open his mouth about something he knows nothing about. I've never faced any of the gods much less get into any HNM/God LSs or even get near a level where that think -looking- at me wouldn't kill me, so I can't say anything except that I admire anyone who can walk away from Kirin alive, much less victorious.

Don't post if you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Kirin isn't a very tough fight, he takes about 24ppl to kill, but I've heard of JPs killing with 18. Most Linkshells will farm him, generally for Osode and possibly shining cloth.
There are -much- harder mobs in the game then kirin.

meh i dont think this guy even has sky yet...or even a Zilart job. Look at sig, but anyways yes as the other poster said you will need a HNMls usually these LS will have atleast 30members or so in the LS. But usually not all activily help. The mob itself isnt hard jus gotta master technique and not panic etcetc. lol its **** loads of fun.

Wow, dude you're an idiot... lol, its called an HNM/gods linkshell, and normally you need more than 18 lv75 ppl to beat Kirin, I'm in fact omw to fight him with my LS for my first time :)
You don't gather random 18 lv75(Well, prolly need more anyway) ppl, they're normally already willing to go, being in the LS and all, and besides, making a mob higher than the normall limit carries some pride to beat... Plus the items... but mainly, you can say, "my LS beat Kirin!"
Plus any lv75+ limit quests would suck, subjobs would change everything, lv75 limit is fine where it is. Honestly man... <.<
(btw: ppl xp off mobs that are 75+ at like lv 66+ or so, not sure)
Edit: My god. . . We did horrible, lol... Killed little gods, easy, kited kirin, easy, people very very rarely died, however we didn't do enough dmg. Kirin barely went below 90% HP, his regen is crazy, but he normally stayed in 96-99% HP. I was playin on my GBA (golden sun, good game) most of the time w/ my friend also in the LS lol, and then we saw they had given up because kirin was chasing everyone unclaimed, lol... So we wasted like 6hrs

You people are pretentious. And obviously have too much time on your hands. God I love being a hateful *******. Enough said.
My LS took him down for our first time Sunday evening. From what I heard before the update, he wasn't too bed - RNGs and BLM (Yes, Please). After the update... he's a beast. RNGs do nothing to him, BLM and SMNs were the only way we made it through.
He welcomed us to Kirin fighting by popped all 4 mini gods in 20 minutes. At the time we were finishing Byakko, Genbu as up and Seiryu was spawning.
Also, the 2nd full hour of the fight was earthsday - tanks were one shotting every spell. If Stonega hit you and you weren't a PLD, you were dead.
Astral Flow only killed 2 people but took everyone in alliance to below 300 HP. I attribute that to our using Bio before Astral Flow to weaken it's attacks.
He has massive HP regen, worse than I've ever seen (maybe worse than Aspi). We counter it by consistently keeping him Bio'd before Astral, and Dia/Poisioned afterwards.
PLD tanks kited him along a set path, Gravity was a must. Have SMNs constantly buff PLDs. PLDs must keep hate from BLM, who will be unloading on him. BLMs just nuke away, disband, heal, repeat. Random melees come in and WS or use abilities. BLM will be the main DD after the update.
We beat him after 4 hours... truly an amazing experience after we were sure a wipe was at hand, and one of our more experienced white mages had told me to consider packing it up. Our drops rewarded us: Shining Cloth, Kirin's Pole, Damascene Ingot and N. Body Abjuration. Congratulations AncientsXI on your victory over Kirin!

Does Kirin use riddle? The manticore max MP down move?
We took him down twice last night for the first time and I didnt see him use riddle at all. We did it the first time in about 90 minutes then in 64 minutes.
OK, silly question here.
Does Kirin use riddle? The manticore max MP down move?
Yea I know its dumb, and its probably the least of your problems, after dealing with Stonega XVI or whatever crazy stuff he uses.

Nah, he just uses: Stonega IV, Stone V, Quake, Great Whirlwind, Flame Breath, Death Hold, Tail Smash and Astral Flow (only once, thank Jeebus!)
We did Kirin tonight, the fight went as it normally does for us and most people, a death here and there but nothing major. Strangely for this particular fight... Astral Flow seem unusually stronger than normal and killed quite a few of us, but we managed to recover with proper strategy. After the smoke cleared, my Osode was one of the few items that dropped ^_^

The Japanese unicorn, an animal-god who punishes the wicked with its single horn. It protects the just and grants them good luck. Seeing a kirin is considered an omen of extreme good luck - if one is a virtuous person.
Kirin, i guess you could say its good luck to see him, if hes unclaimed :D
