You guys arbitrarily hating on clickies - why so salty?

I don't think anyone reasonable is against "normal" clickies like most of the ones you listed. It's the disposable clickies, like strings and soul fires, that really change the nature of the challenge. And even then I wouldn't argue they're wrong, just that they belong in a different category from the people who solo amazing stuff without them.

how many solo'd Tranala on blue?

To get the ball rolling I started a wiki page, http://wiki.project1999.com/Solo_Artist_Challenge, and copied over the old rules/mob list. If anyone wants they can feel free to edit it to add Velious challenges or re-classify Kunark-era ones that have become easier, or people can propose stuff here and I'll try to keep the wiki in sync. Of course nothing in the wiki is "official" in any way, I just thought it might be a nice way to work on the list collectively.

I also made a wiki version of the old Kunark-era version on a separate page, so we can still reference it easily even as the newer one gets modified.

Nice!
I propose adding Lithiniath and Bristlebane Puppet to Solo God Mode.

P.S. I also made a "Hall of Fame" page so solo artists have a fitting and (almost-)permanent display of their accomplishments: http://wiki.project1999.com/Solo_Art...e_Hall_of_Fame
P.P.S. Every monster in the challenge now links to their wiki page.

Where do you think the high level dogs in Velks like Khelkar, Jelek and Gregendek Icepaw fit in? I think Khelkar is just as difficult as Emp Chottal, if not harder. He was categorized as Solo God Mode in the original SAC.

I'm no PhD in velk dog killing but In my experience I'd say

Solo God Mode/Duo Grandmaster
Add Khelkar Icepaw

Solo Grandmaster/Duo Master
Add Jelek Icepaw
Add Gregendek Icepaw

In keeping with the original SAC I do think the difficulty of getting to the mob should be a big factor in determining the ranking. Khelkar 1 v 1 may be as difficult as Emp, but easier for an Enchanter to get to due to the nature of Velk's faction. That's a pretty unique scenario though since most classes can't get to Dubious with dogs.

Tserrina is a good one, but pretty trivial to get to for anyone that'd be able to solo her.

Anyone consider themselves an authority on soloing HS?
I'm thinking maybe the HS targets might need revising in velious era.
