For our last run, we started early (with a grand total of 3 people) to get a stone from Despot and pop the 2 Ullis we had. As more people logged on, and friends came to help, we had 6 by the time Despot popped and 8 when we did the 2 Ullis.

Here I am casting blizzard on Ulli's groin.
We had enough pop sets for 1 of each god, and an extra Byakko pop set because we wanted to make sure we got our last member his Haidate.
So we went from Suzaku > Seiryu > Genbu and finally to Byakko, nothing amazing dropped aside from a few gil items that went to helpers. I failed to take any screenshots of our last few gods because I suck.
Haidate dropped on the first Byakko, and because I was the only LS member without any by this point, I was encouraged to take the second pair if they dropped (better than letting it go freelot with nobody around to buy). Even though I hadn't got a job leveled to wear them, everyone felt that I had earnt them anyway, which was a nice gesture from them :)
Unfortunately the gods of FFXI (Byakko specifically) didn't share that sentiment and a second pair did not drop. Oh well, if I wanted them that badly I would have leveled a job and lotted them a year ago. If they had dropped, I probably would have only leveled BST anyway (SAM or WAR would have pretty much made DRG obsolete as my DD job).
We finished off with a last Kirin burn with the help of the other LS I forgot the name of. No W.legs dropped AGAIN, which is probably Kirin's way of saying FU and GTFO. He's such a dick. But at least we managed to do all the gods + Kirin for our last run for some sense of completion, even if it wasn't all done by merit of our LS alone.
We gathered in Aht Urghan's teahouse place as a final goodbye thing.

Much fun and silliness was had with fireworks and rice cakes. So at the end of the day, I got 9 hours of free time per week back AND +1 inventory space! On the other hand, I never got to try out Fields of Valor in sky :(
