You're not wrong. IMO the most powerful items in the game are:

1. Donals BP
2. Puppet Strings
3. WC Cap
4. Manastone
5. Fungi Staff

I guess it wasn't so common to have two pairs of puppet strings in real classic eq with a much faster release of expansions. I know it's not classic, but personally I would like to see puppet strings nerfed to a 5s casting time (like regular allure) and take 10k to recharge (not 800). The Wand of Allure (3 charges, enchanter only) is far, far more balanced.

Also, welcome Shinko. There aren't any Necros on the Solo GM list - will you be the first?

This thread really shines with the detailed updates complete with screenshots, annotations, and side remarks...really enjoyable to read. I'll be hoping to add similar quality posts once I summon the courage to actually try something challenging. Kudos to Loraen, Ploktor, Tecmos, and everyone else!

I should probably update this sometime, done most of the grandmasters minus Drus/Dartain/Undertaker/Mort Protector. I don't kill in HS East much other than to check for non-existent Drusella or other nameds left up for Maurice scraps.

Got Spore King too w/o strings, but did have help with pull because I didn't spawn him solo and my camping partners never want to wait on dictate when a mob a contested as King pops.

Still haven't been bold enough to attempt Neh/Rak.

Impressive stuff. Just reading through this thread and some of the class guides you guys have written really makes me want to play an enchanter.

Emperor Chottal [60 Necromancer, Sebilis Crypt]: Svenn [S-]
sebilite protector [60 Warrior, Sebilis Catacombs]: Svenn [S-]
myconid spore king [56 Paladin, Sebilis Catacombs]: Loraen [S-]
Tolapumj [60 Enchanter, Sebilis Catacombs]: Svenn [S-]
Dread [55 Warrior, Plane of Fear]: Svenn [S-], Ploktor [S]

This list is in chronological order (both kills and players for each kill), so AFAIK the first people for each mob are server firsts.

Rules
So I was inspired by Ploktor's thread to revive something I used to have on the Vesica Dei message boards, the solo artists challenge (originally I called it 'The Real Enchanter Epic'). I have compiled a list of all the 50+ named mobs in the game which I think could potentially be soloable or duoable, ranked them in order, and sorted them into six tiers. The ranking includes both the difficulty of the named mob itself and an adjustment for the number of guards, which is why Howling Stones is so much harder than Sebilis.

The categories, in descending order of awesomeness:
[S] -> Soloed with self buffs only
[S-] -> Soloed but used strong item clickies
[D] -> Duoed
[D-] -> Duoed but used strong item clickies
[T] -> Trioed

Strong item clickies include Puppet Strings, Donal's Breastplate of Mourning, Soulfire, Reaper of the Dead, Woolly Spider Silk Nets, etc, but not shaman potions or stuff like a Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring. Use your judgement, and remember: solo is solo for the purposes of ranks, no matter what you items you use. Use common sense regarding the amount of help you can get from other players and still consider it a solo kill: getting a double invis or having a rogue open a locked door is fine; having an SK pull it to a safe area, having other players train guards away, getting full cleric buffs or otherwise logging in a ton of other chars to buff, or using rune/bedlam from another player to help invis/ivu pull is not. Melee classes are granted an exception to the no-other-buffs rule as they are already at such a huge disadvantage in this Challenge.

Ranks
To complete a rank, you must kill 50% of the named on that rank, and that 50% must include names from all major areas (i.e. soloing the Sebilis Crypt itself does not make you a Solo Master, you have to do HS South too). Completion of prior ranks is not required. Solo kills will result in the title of of 'Solo Disciple/Master/Grandmaster'; likewise with duos. Killing everything on the list from Grandmaster on down will result in the title of 'Legend'. Achieving a solo rank implies the previous duo rank, since they are the same mobs (a Solo Master is automatically a Duo Disciple, since they could achieve the same results while powerleveling some noob).

Artists will be sorted by maximum solo/duo score, secondary solo/duo score, and time of achievement. I am also making a list of the first few kills of god-tier mobs by player name because I expect a few kills here and there but I doubt anyone can actually achieve God rank. If you feel like you have met the requirements for a rank or you have killed a god-tier mob, PM me or message me in game (Loraen/Radium/Sendoh) and I'll add you to the list at the top of the post. Screenshots are not required (we are on the honor system here, and its hard to think about taking pictures when some high level mob is beating on you for 200 a pop) but highly encouraged; it's always cool to read field reports of epic fights.

This is HARD
I think this is a pretty hard challenge, and even obtaining 'Disciple' rank probably puts you in the top 10% of skilled players on this server. Even if you are skilled, the logistics of popping all the named (especially in HS East) can be very obnoxious. Obtaining Legend rank is going to be way harder than getting an epic. If the sheet looks intimidating, feel free to just fill out the stuff you've killed, or just fill out Disciple rank at first, and then progress from there. I know that for me personally when I first started in Charasis I got my butt kicked in HS north; I gradually improved and now even South isn't too hard for me.

So far the list is mostly enchanters and shaman with a few necromancers. I think the Duo ranks are just as challenging and cool, plus you are killing harder stuff. We're still looking for magician - come on mage club!
