I'd like to point out that this entire article was stolen verbatim from http://www.ao-universe.com/main.php?site=knowledge&link=0&id=122. I have corrected information in the first two tables that has been inaccurate for years on that site. The rest of the article requires extensive rewriting to avoid accusations of plagiarism.

This text does need a rework. This article is not labeled as a 'guide', it's a reference info. Things like "oh you need big team of past level 24 players to kill xyz" is not entirely helpful (because it lacks any context info), nor is there any need to write what you will see after running down the winding stairs and similar stuff (the map shows where you find what, afterall) and so on. Seems like I got something to do this evening ... -- Yllkoda 18:00, 12 February 2007 (CET)

Plagiarism can be avoided by simply citing the source of the material with a note that the source was taken from X location, there by giving credit to the authors. --Berael 18:08, 12 February 2007 (CET)

I translated & copied the stuff from the german page, added a few things from the 'original' english one. The old one was more like a walk-through, it contained a lot of context specific information (e.g. twinks can kill everything down there, including Abmouth) or was more like information overkill (see the tables). If someone wants the stuff back, go add it to the existing page, I decided to leave it out. -- Yllkoda 21:57, 25 April 2007 (CEST)

Just wanted to look up something and what do I see? Very confusing "tactics" information, which is (again?) not mentioning any context, filled with cryptic lingo and references to "Neleb" twinks (whereas everyone knows (or should know) that Abmouth got killed by so many different types of twinks, it's useless to count). I don't really have the time right now to fix this mess.

Besides, I would find it much more helpful to say how much damage Abmouth actually does, what damage type, immunities/resists versus roots, snares and so on. Players then can make up their own mind about a proper tactic, because it highly depends on the team setup, the players and how much they are "twinked".

(Above note added by Yllkoda) All points noted. Agree on the whole. I think you answered your own arguments tho' with the sentence, "I don't really have the time right now to fix this mess". There is little to no participation in this Wiki on the part of the player base at this time.
Abmouth could have his own page, in the way that Biomare - Tri Plumbo and other bosses do, if that immunity etc information exists somewhere. That would be a more suitable place for tactical guide information.
I will see what I can do about the 'cryptic lingo'. The way I have been handling it so far is to link to pages explaining the terms. Anarchangel 01:55, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
