Velious Solo/Duo Challenge Official Thread (and Trio/Group)

[Zuranthium]

It's been a decade and we still don't have a list of Velious challenges for players to do. In this thread I will gather input and put together a community list of challenges. For now I am just listing the Solo/Duo tiers in this post, but any input on Trio/Group challenges should also be discussed.

Here is a starting list of MOB's for each category, please discuss any alterations you think you should made. Especially helpful would be input about any particular MOB's that are very difficult to pull, as that makes a difference in what category a MOB should be in. After compiling a full list we can decide how many MOB's in each category are needed to achieve the rank (my initial thought was half of the MOB's per zone). All listed MOB's are grouped together by what zone they are in.

Solo Master:
* level 52-54 Western Wastes Dragons (minus Bufa/Nintal/Espora/Gangel/Quoza) and Ice Burrower

Completion Tiers: (same rules for Duos)

[S+] Soloed with no consumable items and self buffs only
[S] Soloed with no consumable items but moderate use of outside buffs OR no outside buffs with moderate use of consumable items
[S-] Soloed with excessive use of outside buffs or consumable items
[S*] Soloed with use of strong item clickies (Puppet Strings or multiple clicks of any strong item, or single click with outside buffs)
[S with pull help] Soloed with pull help (or used non-classic Lull); use same 4 tiers as above for each type of pull-assisted kill

God kills using any completion method will be saved to the wiki.

Lull is currently non-Classic on p99 and will count as using Pull Help until it is fixed (does not apply to Bard lull). Lull spells in classic EQ are supposed to be 100% resisted on all Level 50+ MOBs and have a minimum 55% chance of getting resisted AND ending every tick on Level 40-49 MOBs.

Strong item clickies include Puppet Strings, Soulfire-type items, Slowstone-type items, and Wooly Spider Silk Net, while lesser consumable items are shaman potions and things of that nature. Use of those consumables should be limited, as they can equate to being the same as using a strong item clicky (ie, many healing potion clicks is equivalent to using a complete heal Soulfire-type clicky; consumable items that produce DPS are overpowered when stacked or combined with usage of healing potion).

Moderate use of consumables should equate to being less powerful than healing your character with a click of a Soulfire-type item. More than 2 significant buffs exceeds the threshold of what is considered "moderate use" of outside buffs.
