Scorned Wilderness is its own zone, entered from the north-west of the Fractured Plains, and the game has no map picture for it. This map is drawn from the game's own outline of the zone and of Rasthin's Rest, to scale, north up, on a 100 m grid. Back to the world map

Penguin Hunting
Update 1.0.2 let the Killer Gentoo Penguins (the KGP) loose across Ashenfall, disguised as everyday objects. Spot one, interact with it, and it flees and leaves you a Penguin Coin. Spend your coins on penguin armour, trinkets and decorations at Façade's Front.
Head to the Adventurer's Guild ruins in Bramblemead Valley, east of Bramblemead Village. Walk past Wormelbow's goblin cage at the entrance and the hidden reliquary, and talk to the door on the far side: that's Fishy Façade, a KGP informant pretending to be a door.
You pick one: "The Pidgeon Flies Left in Winter?", "Err... Lemon?" or "Password1234?"
Fishy Façade: What? Huh? That's not a thing. Who recruited you? Terry? I bet it was Terry...
Any answer works. The door briefs you on the penguin menace anyway and the Penguin Hunting quest starts. It never ends ("It shall never be over"), so you can keep hunting. After the first talk, choose "Just open the shop." to go straight to the shop.
2. Find the penguins
Three penguins per region are out at a time, in Brynmoor, Ghornfell, Fellhollow, Scorned Wilderness, Dowdun Reach and Umbral Sands.
They hide as a box, pot, barrel or sack. In Umbral Sands they're desert pots or rugs. Look for one that seems out of place.
Interact with it. It reveals itself, flees, and you get 1 Penguin Coin.
Each penguin counts once per character. Your friends can find the same penguin for their own coin, so hunting together works.
Every 7 in-game days the penguins move to new spots, and the hunt starts over.
Each cycle the game fills 3 of a region's spots: in Brynmoor that's 3 of its 17, in Umbral Sands 3 of its 64. Use the map to work through a region's spots and tick off the ones you've checked. Your ticks stay in this browser; clear them when a new cycle starts.
Hunting on your own server?
RSDWServerAPI ranks everyone in your Discord by penguins found, this week and all time. Each penguin counts once per character, so it's fair, and it catches up on finds from before you installed it.
It also brings live skills and leaderboards, two-way chat, death and quest feeds and admin tools. One command sets up the whole server on a Linux VPS, and players don't install anything.
Trade Penguin Coins at Façade's Front. Everything is open from the start: no reputation and no level needed. Gear comes as an item you use to learn its recipe, then craft. Decorations come as building plans.

4. Craft the gear
Use the item from the shop to learn the recipe, then craft it. The armour pieces are made with Artisan and give 125 Artisan XP each.
The penguins keep notes on you. The journal has a Penguin Report for each region, signed by Agent Ravioli: Brynmoor, Ghornfell, Fellhollow, Whispering Swamp, Dowdun Reach, Scorned Wilderness and Umbral Sands. There's also one for Disgleiried, an elven land that isn't in the game yet, so expect penguins to follow you there.
Tips
Hunt with friends: everyone in the group gets a coin from the same penguin.
Penguins in Scorned Wilderness are in its own zone, so pick it in the map's region list.
Share a spot with the Copy link button in its pop-up.
The whole shop costs 359 coins, which is 20 cycles at 18 penguins each. The KGP Hat and the cape are the big ones at 30 coins each.

This guide is free and ad-free, made by a player who dug the spots, prices and recipes out of the game files. If it saved you some hunting, a coffee keeps it updated after each patch.
RSDWServerAPI is a free server mod and Discord bot for Linux dedicated servers. It puts a penguin leaderboard in your Discord, along with live skills, two-way chat, death and quest feeds, raid alerts and admin tools. One command sets it all up, and players don't install anything.
Made by reading the game's own files (spawn spots, prices, recipes and dialogue) from the 1.0.2 dedicated server, so it may change with patches. Directions are measured from the place names on the in-game map. Not affiliated with Jagex.
