Well, since my last KS99 fire resist thread I brought up (july '07) I have changed LS and we have sucessfully won each fight, losing only the first orb ever. I've gathered the basics for my fire resist build now. I have all of it in 2 macro presses, to put me into this setup for fire resist. Please keep in mind this is PLD/NIN to ks99, with a nin/drk co-tank.
Kirin's pole
Bibiki seashell
Walmart turban ( haven't gotten around to get a hq & signed green ribbon)
Adaman body ( blueberry ftw?)
Taresque mitts ( nq)
Ruby ring x2
Ruby earringx2
Cerberus mantle*/lamia+1 (only when a specific ls member lets me borrow it.*)
Water belt
Gallant leggings(haven't done kirins in awhile, no crimsons from previous runs)
Valor boots ( mind as well go for the enmity?)
Total resist current:98 (w/ borrowed cerberus mantle, 88 w/o)
Stuff I still want
Power sandals
Crimson pants from kirin (starting next sunday we have like 8 kirin sets)
Green ribbon+1
Cerberus bow
Assault breastplate
Total with the 'want' items: 163 
Just now past the halfway mark on my own KS99 orb, I am certain to which I will get a speed belt drop. We've yet to see one, but since we do your-orb-your-drops, I am really hoping to see one soon. ;3
