Located somewhere on this desolate planet is this huge tower, which extends high above the clouds.
It will take you at least 10 posts to climb Kirin's Tower, but you can take 1 off for each star you have to represent your heightened abilities.
Once at the top... you will finally meet the legendary Master Kirin!
If you are evil of heart (negative Karma) he will train you, and make you try to steal his 'Unholy Water' from him.
To be honest, though, the Unholy Water is just tap water, which he'll tell you once you drink it. The whole idea is that you get stronger trying to take the water...
-Climbing the tower raises your endurance
-Chasing Kirin raises your speed
-Trying to actually catch Kirin improves your reflexes and ability to predict movements
You will need at least 4's to even hope of catching Kirin and taking his water.
Once you're strong enough to take the challenge, it'll take you at least 30 posts to catch him. Message an Admin when you finally catch him, and you'll get 60 posts for all your hard work (representing how all your abilities went up as mentioned earlier)!
You can only get this boost once, however.
You can't get this boost if you already have Korin's boost.
Getting this boost prevents you from getting Korin's boost later.
By the way, if you don't have the 4's needed, you can still try catching Kirin purely as something to write about. It's only the posts after your fourth star that count toward your 30.
One last thing... Kirin can read your mind.
Yep. But only if you're quiet... he can't hear your thoughts if you're making a racket with your voice.
Cursed Water
If you want to try the 'real' Unholy Water, after you've caught Kirin, you only need to ask.
If you have -50 Karma or worse, Kirin will open a pot in one of the rooms in the tower, and tell you to get in it.
The pot will transport you to a fiery cave in an unknown location to the south...
Kirin's Cursed Water Cave
Senzu Beans
Kirin will give each LIVING character with zero or negative karma a senzu pouch, if they wish to have a senzu bean.
But to actually get a senzu bean is a different story...
You must go to Earth's Lakes, Rivers, and Oceans, and fish for a Red Snapper.
It takes 10 posts to find and catch one.
Give Kirin the Red Snapper (and it has to be freshly caught, too), and he will reward you with a senzu bean.
If you already have a senzu, he won't give you another. He doesn't like sharing these too much.
In other words, you can only have 1 senzu bean with you at any time.
Kirin isn't always so strict, though... he may show pity upon someone who seems to weak to even move and feed them a senzu bean.
As if you didn't know, senzu beans fully recover all your ki/energy and heal your body.
You can even split them in two to eat half at a time (for half the effects, of course).
Senzu beans do not recover the usages of any 'limited use' techniques (eg: 1 use per battle) or desperation attacks, however.
Flying Nimbus
If your character is 'Evil' in alignment, you can get one of these purple fluffy flying clouds from Kirin.
You're able to ride a nimbus as long as you think ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD THOUGHTS.
Not even for a moment are you allowed to think of anything even slightly pure, or else you fall. Remain 100% evil and you'll be fine.
Hyperbolic Time Chamber Portal
If you're alive, have zero or negative Karma, and at least 6's, Kirin will agree to open a dimensional rift for you to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, which is usually accessed via Earth's Lookout.
Just pay Kirin 500 zenie per post you want to make in advance.
So to buy 10 posts, you pay 5000 zenie.
Alternatively, if the saga calls for it, you may be granted free usage of this room.
PM a staff member when you gain access.
No more than two characters may use the room at any one time, and this includes characters who entered by both methods.
It will take you at least 10 posts to climb Kirin's Tower, but you can take 1 off for each star you have to represent your heightened abilities.
