Talk:Distractions and Diversions/Locations

There should be a note saying world 60 is the unofficial world, with riods2525 as clan chat ;)

More specific
I have been hunting penguins since wednesday, and I think this guide needs to be more specific, even though the length it would be up to date would only be 1 week. --Nalyd Renrut 10:27, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What kind of specifics do you want to add? Like you said, since the specifics will only be valid for 1 week... I don't think it will be necessary.  However, if you think it is important, please add in the details. =)  15:19, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

The penguin locations table should be kept in 10 rows as there are only 10 penguins. Atm, there are also misleading hints. Mussepossu 22:47, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

The penguins seem to be in different locations in different worlds. I haven't been looking for them, but friends tell me when they stumble accross one (and vice versa). When a friend tells me of one, I only seem to be able to find the penguin, if I change to their world.O3 Depleter 06:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

They don't have only different locations for each world, but they also tend to move fast. When they're not blocked, they can reach falador from draynor village in 5 minutes for excemple. That's why it isn't very usefull to have the exact locations listed here. --Arimu 18:42, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

With the penguins being in different spots in each world listing specific locations will waste our readers time if they use it as a basis for their search. I removed those specific lines as it is not in the wikis interest to have them--216.136.67.195 10:29, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

The penguins can be in very different spots on different worlds, but their respective spawn point is always the same. For example, a week its castlewars. on world 50 it goes south to the ogres, while on world 55 it decides to explore the tree gnome maze. But when they become trapped for a certain period of time, they eventually will 'telly' or 'reset' to their spawn point, in this case castlewars. --Iavirissa 13:54, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Unofficial clans
Since this information has been removed from the article, I've added it here for the benefit of new players:-


 * Penguin Hide and Seek - Clan chat: Penguin Find, Penguins w60, W60 Penguins
 * Shooting Star - Clan chat: Star Find, hunt4stars

13:51, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, there is only one major, active group left. Team Penguin.

Main chat: "Penguins_W60" If full, try the following chats in order: "W60_Penguins" "W60_Pengies" "W60overflow1"

Kandarin star fall
We are listing outside Legends guild and mine east of East Ardougne. Isn't this the same thing?--Bob quest 12:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I think so. I'll go change that. 19:03, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Star locations
Just started doing Shooting Star. The best forum article for locations i've seen so far is: COMPLETE Star Locations List http://forum.runescape.com/c=-13419f4e/forums.ws?75,76,722,57640317,goto,1 Chrislee33 09:37, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

D&D Locations - Shooting Star
We don't have to follow the names of the regions word-by-word. I only added "Kingdom" for style. 08:01, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The shorter name is what players use. I'm playing it daily and active in the Star Find clan. Everyone goes by the names used by the telescope or other shorter nicknames which have not been included in the articles such as p/g/t or m/m. Also the main article links also do not include 'Kingdom of xxx' in the main article titles, although they do refer the 'Kingdom' in the lead articles.  Chrislee33 15:17, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Revert War
I don't want this to keep going on. I understand that the Style Guide says to avoid using links in headings, but it makes sense to do so here. Also, telescope information should not be on the locations page. 01:54, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Why does it make sense to add it here? 16:40, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Circus / Penguins
Penguins hve 2 new clues other 8 are sames as week 8 forgot to sign sorry -- phamtom21   14:04, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Circus hasnt been reset as of yet
 * Penguins (and circus) reset at around 17 pm today Therealmagicrune 18:18, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Unofficial Clan Information
I am slightly upset that someone removed the information about the unofficial clan for penguins. This information is extremely useful to a player wishing to find the penguins. I am not advertising a clan-I simply want the information to be available to all. I will not get involved in the Star Find discussion, but I would suggest that info about it be added also. There is no reasone to remove it -I know its bad wording - But make it better. Removing something new put the article back in time, its not helping it to become any better. This is why I put it back in. Please think before deleting! Thank you, Invincibility |Talk|  |Edit Count|  00:09, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The information is available in the talk page (see above). Adding the information about the clan seem to favour only one clan, and there are many clans out there.  13:58, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

circus location image?
why was the circus location image was deleted from here? 03:10, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Restored. 14:06, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Star Locations?
I think the star locations should be put into the Shooting stars article instead of this one because the wiki does not track the star locations. It remains constant, while the rest of this page changes from week to week. Luckytoilet 14:16, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Penguin #9 - which graveyard?
I went to both graveyards in the non-deep Wildy and couldn't find any penguins. The article ought to be more specific about which graveyard so I can try again on a different world. GoldFalcon 21:37, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you sure you were in world 60? Location is only in world 60. If its in other worlds, the penguins would most likely be somewhere else. 09:44, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Penguin Locations Videos
Just realized I could embed YouTube videos on here late last week, so I started embedding my weekly Penguin Locations videos. So far they haven't been removed, so I'm hoping this is OK to do. Plus, I tend to get the videos finished quicker than player's update the table lol The videos have helped hundreds of people, and since I started embedding them, the impact on how many people actually watch it on here is a lot more than noticeable. I'm interested in all feedback about the video, and if it's negative, I just ask that you make it constructive. Boomer12342 20:06, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Ok. The video has been up for TWO weeks, and now players are starting to delete them off of the page. They aren't admins or anything. SHOW me a link to the page saying that Youtube videos can't be embedded on pages. No one else should delete unless they are an admin or show me proof it isn't allowed. '''JUST BECAUSE YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE GROUP NAMED IN THE VIDEO, DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU SHOULD DELETE IT! IGNORE IT IF IT'S REALLY BOTHERING YOU. I AM THE ONLY PERSON CREATING WEEKLY UP-TO-DATE PENGUIN LOCATIONS VIDEOS, SO START MAKING YOUR OWN IN YOUR OWN STYLE THAT IS GROUP-AD FREE IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT.''' Boomer12342 21:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * If no reason is given for any deletion, it is acceptable to revert the deletion. Otherwise, discussion about it should appear here until consensus is reached. This seems like a valuable addition to the page. Chrislee33 04:11, 6 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The first removal was from the IP, 216.136.67.166. His exact excuse is: " no yt vids, wtf". The second user had no listed reason. (EDIT: Forgot to sign yesterday >.<) Boomer12342 17:13, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Go check the yew grove, could be in the last archive, discussion about videos. We do not allow names of players in images, and a video naming a clan is advertising the clan. If the community agrees to leave it after discussion, ok great. But as it stands now it violates what we agreed on.--Degenret01 22:52, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Also, this video discussion is what I based removing the vid on. We can have a constructive talk here though, the YG is too laggy for most people. Comment away people --Degenret01 23:20, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, technically Team Penguin isn't a 'clan'. Its a group dedicated to helping players find penguins faster, easier, and make it more fun. These videos have helped hundreds, if not a thousand or more, players find penguins. For the most part, no one has seemed to disagree with it being here, other than those that support other penguin hunting chats. The video has very minimal advertising, as its main affect is to help players. The video pertains directly to the point of the section of the article, so it isn't spamming the article or anything. Personally, if players dislike the group mentioned, then they don't have to watch it.

Also, if you don't believe me on players finding it useful, just look at the comments for the current and past videos:

"nice job, rune wiki for the win lol."

"The music is so nice :) very helpful vid thanks! "

"yay =D ty =D i just found out you made these :D you know they upload your movies on the wikipedia for these to? :) "

"nice vid bro, 5/5"

"thanks for vid! "

"tysm! this really helps me...i subscribed so i know their locations when i need them!"

"i need the lunar pingu, but I dont have the crafting lvl, thx for the video it really helps "

"Gj Boomer! You help a lot by making Penguins videos!"

"Ill be doing pengs soon :) "

"THX i'll have to subscribe to this channel "

"if possible please add: recommended use of transport eg teles, spirit tree etc because i new to members lol btw great guide and nice music, where'd u get it?"

"Useful vid, Great Minigame, Wonderful clan chat!

I recommand it to everyone. And I love this song:D"

"Thanks for the vid. "

"nice "

"Great vid and appreciate the time you put into making them."

"Nice vid 5/5"

"extremely great, i had 1 small idea, at the end, or the beginning, place all locations at once, like "the peguins are here, here, and here, so they get a rough idea where they are at beforehand, or they are short on time to watch this"

"nice bro thanks:P "

"its insane this vid only has 44 views it is a huge help thanks a lot this is a 5 star vid "

"what this needs is some sort of dummies tutorial on what this is, other than that its pretty freakin great, 5 stars "

"gj boomer "

"A fantastic video - nice effects etc guys. I may have to get involved in this :P "

"Nice one Boomer!!!"

I believe the crowd has already spoken. I have not once received a bad comment about the video, only suggestions on how to improve and what people thought about it. Boomer12342 23:57, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Please, note what I do, and what I do not, say. I never said it is not useful. And I have asked for input from the community. --Degenret01 00:17, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'm well aware of what you did or did not say. I was stating my opinion (and opinions of others) for all to see. Boomer12342 00:45, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I found it extremely helpful. For someone who is new to penguin hunting, I didn't know exactly how it worked.  The video showed the areas visually, which wouldn't be able to be represented just by describing (in text) the location.  I suppose the only stipulation would be that it would have to be updated weekly.  If Boomer is willing to take on that responsibility, then there's no reason it shouldn't be there. Combat newb 18:24, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * This is the tenth week I've made it. I've always released them between 12:00 AM GMT Wednesday to 12:00 AM GMT Thursday. I believe I've only ever made one major mistake of where a penguin was located on Neitiznot one week. So.... *shrugs* Boomer12342 20:41, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Just found out today that Team Penguin is the ONLY major penguin group left. I believe there is only one other penguin group that is still active atm, and it was just created a day or two ago. From watching various Penguin groups for the past 6 months, it's my experience that they never last for more than two weeks or so. So, I'm not quite sure something like this has happened before, so maybe there should discussions about limited advertisement for 'one of a kind groups' is allowed or not? Boomer12342 23:31, 12 March 2009 (UTC) (The IP that wrote this was me, it signed me out and I didn't notice it :S)


 * No one's contesting that you make the videos, nor that they're useful, nor that Team Penguin is the only group remaining. Our image and media policy is being reviewed, and has gained (or is very close to) consensus. One of the points on it is "Streaming videos (e.g., YouTube embeddings) should not be used in articles.". If this goes though, the video(s) will be removed from the page and will not be reinstated unless community consensus agreeds to ignore all rules. You should post on thet forum if you wish to contest that point. (Also, you should add a link to your user page to your signature, per RS:SIG). 20:01, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I contest their utility. They just highlight a geographic location for the penguins. We can do the same thing with words or a picture of our own. The image policy passed and videos like that are forbidden in articles. The amount of people who say they like it in the comment page or subscribe to you are irrelevant here. If you wish to contest this, either start a Yew Grove thread or attempt to get a consensus here (although I suggest the former). 01:14, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Deleted a star landing spot
I just deleted this Kandarin spot from the list of star landing sites. I obviously cannot back it up with anything else than (tons of) experience, but I am confident that spot is false. It's probably a rumour from the early days of star hunting, when people speculated on where they would land. The rest seems accurate. My own guide to the stars is here: http://forum.runescape.com/forums.ws?98,99,573,58500309 --Paania 11:33, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Battlefield north of Tree Gnome Village.


 * I thought there was a landing spot at the Ardy Monastery, which is near the battlefield and is indeed north of the village? Or is that already listed on there? Boomer12342 15:55, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just looked, it's listed :S Boomer12342 15:58, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Evil tree locations
I think it would be better if we listed evil tree locations by hint not by location.

Specific penguin locations
Recently I've seen a lot of edits where (usually unregistered) users add precise locations of each of the penguins (example: "Jatizso, Jats king home, also found in building with anvil"). Adding such things is pointless, as the penguins can move and if they do, they do so very rapidly. Sure, some penguins are stuck on an island or area - detail down to the precise house is useless, as the penguins are trapped in a small area (so aren't hard to find), and they do move. And of course - these precise descriptions only hold true for world 60, the unofficial penguin hunting world. I propose that edits of this type not be allowed, as they serve a redundant purpose. A note should be added somewhere to notify editors of this page to not add detailed descriptions. 20:01, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I think both are equally importnnt, one is what the sole source says, as you'd find in game if you did this yourself, and the other is giving as much help as possible, which includes suggesting one world to use. I'll leave it till we decide what to do, but I suggest having Charlie's notes here and a link to a subpage which gets updated per w60 movements. 12:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Something new?
It's Week 58 (30 Sep 2009 - 6 Oct 2009) and there are two penguins near the Tower of Life on World 60. One's disguised as a crate west/north-west of the tower; the other's disguised as a rock west/south-west of the tower. Neither location is what is listed for the article, and I've never seen two penguins so close together before. 71.184.10.246 00:46, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * The article only list the spawn points of the penguins - where they originate from, not where they are now (as they can be in different places in each world, but spawn in the same place each world, so its easier to reference them by that). The crate is evidently the Piscatoris one (as its the only crate this week), and the rock could be any of the rocks from this week except Tirannwn. And I've seen 5 penguins in Yanille north wall before  15:16, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

 * Don't worry, everyone makes mistakes. And also, the Mort Myre penguin is a toadstool, not the Canifis. 11:16, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

There is no Varrock penguin
The weekly list is incorrect. Please check penguin v61 (distractions and diversions section of runescape forum) for correct locations.
