You earn 1 Penguin Point for every penguin you spy on. After completing the Cold War quest, harder to reach penguins will give you 2 points.^[1]

 

Yet this is in contrast with the additional rewards for the Hunt for Red Raktuber:

 

Chuck is now your contact for Penguin Hide and Seek, and you'll receive increased rewards, including extra points when penguin spotting, and the ability to spot a polar bear each week.^[2]

 

It is my understanding that it is The Hunt for Red Raktuber that gives the increased penguin points and not Cold War.

It seems to be worded poorly. The only extra rewards weekly from Red Raktuber come from the polar bear agent (1 additional point). The Cold War quest gives additional points for five of the penguins each week...penguins that seem to be found in areas that need special access (from quests and so forth...such as penguins in Lleyta or Isafdar, Mos le'Harmless, etc). The sure thing is that Cold War gives you 5 extra points each week from penguins, while Red Raktuber gives only one additional one and changes the person you have to speak to from Larry to Chuck.

I see. Thank you for correcting me. The reward for The Hunt for Red Raktuber is indeed misleading, as it implies that there are multiple rewards (in terms of Penguin Hide and Seek) given by the quest. Something such as: "Chuck is now your contact for Penguin Hide and Seek, and you'll have the ability to spot a polar bear, granting an additional penguin point per week," would express the statement more lucidly.

No problem at all. I wasn't aware that it was worded as such (confusing) else I might have brought it to their attention myself! Excellent catch on something that needs work (or rather, I agree with you on that point).

The total penguin points u can get per week is 16. That includes polar bear point..

Thank you for bringing up this confusing explanation, we have taken your advice on rewording and you have been credited.
