Hiya and wow what a reset....
Here is some inofrmation that might be relevent.
Last night at reset I got exactly 3 clues and not one other different.
1.) Where Pirates feel mostly harmless
followed by
2.) Where brothers quarrel - 3 times in a row
followed by
3.) Somewhere in RS
followed by
4.) Where brothers quarrel - 7 times in a row
followed by
5.) Somewhere in RS - 2 times
followed by
6.) Where brothers quarrel - 4 more times
by this time I had enough and had to call in friends to help me get clues...
I am not sure of the reasoning why Jagex would do this to a player....
As I am sure I was not the only that this happened to.
It would be a shame if this was going to be the mode of oprandi that Jagex is going to shove down our throats as I know many players that hunt penguins by themsevles or with a very small group of friends.
It will be interesting to see of Jagex works out this kink that I came across by next week.
Hope that this information helps let players know that if this happened to them - they are not alone.
Good Luck

Hello Secret and thanks
It seems there is some unstability in clues, hopefully not bugs though. Some clues are given out very often, some clues are really hard to get and some even are given differently to different players (wich I really find uncomfortable).
The RS clue you got at reset was for Zanaris and earlier today I also got spammed mostly that clue added with "brothers quarrel" and some less frequent ones.
At the same time I had to wait ages for a "around Ardougne" wich was expected as there was a penguin in Apple Orchard in around Ardougne clue area. I had to hop worlds beofre I got a clue for Port Phasmatys, and it was not "near the ghost town" as before, but Mortyanian clue "where bloodsuckers rule".
At this testing I casted about 130-140 contact npc spells and went to speak to Chuck also.

Just some time a go I had a player come to me telling he has got "near the ghost town" and not "bloodsuckers", and he had not know there was an issue before he read my post about not getting it.

I suppose we just have to wait and hope for clues getting stabile again. There has been an update on clues this afternoon, as while I was away we have got a specific clue for Zanaris: "there's a penguin located in the fairy realm"
Now Chuck seems to be spamming that clue, lol.

We had a the promised and waited locations shuffle on 7th Decemer :D
In system update penguins were swapped to new ones, wich still were from the previous list, only in different order. Clue areas and respawn spots were as before with the addition of new clue for Daemonheim area.
The swapping was done so that the previously spied penguins could not be spied again. It was possible to determine wich pernguins new penguins used to be in the old sysetem with couple of players who were missing just 1-2 of the 1 pointers and/or 2 pointers. Some of the new penguins were identified like this.

In weekly reset after midnight 8th December we got a new penguin in dungeons - 1pt Zanaris toadstool. First the clue for Zanaris was "somewhere in RuneScape" but later this afternoon it was changed to "in the fairy realm".

Right now the clues seem to be more or less unstabel with not normal frequency for all areas and some clues missing or given for non existing penguins.
Different players seem to get different clues for closed area penguins also, wich is very odd.

Patience needed now.

Port Phasmatys seems to have a clue border running through it.
This change doesn't seem to have any reason for the time being, but maybe there will be updates or something explaining why later.

Clues on 8-9th of December:
In the general store (west part of town) the clue is "where bloodsuckers rule"
In the house with range special trap the clue is "where bloodsuckers rule"
In the bank (east part of tonw) the clue is "near the city of ghosts"

I dont think this is of help, but...
following on from what Secret said...I ALWAYS seem to get the same clues over and over and over (usually until I loose patience and just 'go look').
Im talking about before the recent changes...so im pretty sure its not a new thing
Bd :D

New week, v120 on Penguin Locations thread
I don't have time to do the updating of clues and clue analysis yet, but I quickly tested some areas in Haunted Woods and surroundings:

Where bloodsuckers rule is actavated at:
- Slayer Tower
- Fenkenstrains Castle

Near the dungeons of Daemonheim is activated at:
- Haunted woods west of Port Phasmatys bridge, south of Undead farm farmhouse
- Haunted woods east of fairy ring
- just at the isthmus to Haunted Woods south of Musician
- in the ship wreck north of Undead farm

Every clue for "dungeons of Daemonheim" I have got (so far) has been activated by a penguin east of 35'43''e / 35'45''e map module border.

Second week of new penguins and some changes in clues are coming up.
There is a new wording for Piscatoris clue, but I don't remember it exactly. It was chaged from previous "where fishers colonise" to similar to new Port Phasmatys clue - something along "near the city of fishers".
Bigger change has been made around northern Morytania. Previously all of the large area, exept northeast corner, was part of "where bloodsuckers rule". Northeast corner used to be "near the ghost town".
Now the western part of Morytania seems to still be part of "where bloodsuckers rule". This includes for example Slayer Tower and Fenkenstrains Castle.
The eastern part, east from the musician west of Undead farm, is part of new Daemonheim clue area "near the dungeons of Daemonheim". This area includes also atleast northern parts of Haunted Woods.
Inside Port Phasmatys the clue is again "where bloodsuckers rule in western parts, for example in the general store and in the southwestern room in building east of it. Eastern parts, including the bank, are part of newly worded Port Phasmatys clue area "near the city of ghosts"

There is a chanse for really confusing week. All penguins are snowmen and we have a new, yet unknown pattern with 2 penguins in Karamja.

The umbrella clues may add to the confusion. Of the closed area penguins Sawmill activates always &quot;in the kingdom of Misthalin&quot; wich is a respawn area clue for Digsite. It also covers any penguin in East of Draynor Manor trap.

From the 3 roamers both Digsite and Burthorpe are likely to be found in that trap.

Of the Karamja clues both &quot;where banana smugglers dwell&quot; and &quot;deep in the jungle&quot; may hide a romear on Rimmington / Port Sarim - area. Mudskipper point is part of &quot;deep in the jungle&quot; clue and coast south of Rimmington is part of &quot;where banana smugglers dwell&quot;.

Also elf clue &quot;near some pointy-eared ones&quot; may hide a roamer on area west of 3 ponds by the mountain side.



Some other confusing clues may be &quot;where bloodsuckers rule&quot; if a roamer is at Temple of Paterdomus and &quot;in the wilderness&quot; if a penguin is at Wildy wall or behind Black Knights Fortress.

Also after reset (on w138, wich had reset some 10-15 minutes before w60) one of the clues was &quot;somewhere in RuneScape&quot;. As there is no penguin close to somehwere in RuneScape -clue area (west of 3 ponds east of &quot;near the pointy-eared ones&quot; -clue area) it is possible that the odd 3 squares wide stripe is continuing south through Arandar and Castle Wars west wall to the area south of Castle Wars. CW/Jiggig penguin would have had plenty of time to go west to that area in 10 minutes.


This area is now added to the test-to-do-when-finding-time -list :P
