Mastering Ranged with Chinchompas
Using Chinchompas is the fastest way to train the Ranged skill in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). Unlike standard bows or crossbows, chinchompas act as multi-target projectiles, dealing damage in a 3×3 area. This allows players to earn massive XP rates, often exceeding 500,000 to 900,000 XP per hour depending on the tier of chinchompa used and the player's Ranged level.
Which Chinchompa Should You Use?
- Grey Chinchompas: The budget option. They have the lowest max hit but are significantly cheaper. Recommended for lower Ranged levels (60-70) if you are on a tight budget.
- Red Chinchompas: The standard choice for most players. They offer a great balance between cost and high XP rates. Most players use these from level 75 to 99.
- Black Chinchompas: The meta for high-level players. They have the highest accuracy and max hit. While expensive, they provide the fastest Ranged training in the game. Note that they can only be used at level 73 Ranged and above.
Best Training Locations
To maximize your XP per chinchompa, you must attack high-density groups of monsters. The most popular spots include:
- Kruk's Dungeon (Monkey Madness II): The absolute best spot. The Maniacal Monkeys drop prayer potions and stack perfectly for 3×3 damage.
- Ape Atoll Temple (Monkey Madness I): The classic spot for Skeleton Monkeys. It is slightly less efficient than MM2 but still provides excellent XP.
Pro Tips for Maximum XP
Always wear your best Ranged accuracy and damage gear. Void Knight equipment (specifically Elite Void) is highly recommended because the percentage damage boost stacks incredibly well with the multi-target hits of chinchompas. Don't forget to use your best Ranged offensive prayer, like Eagle Eye or Rigour, to further increase your accuracy and max hit.
Example Calculation
If you are level 80 Ranged (approx. 2,000,000 XP) and want to reach level 99 (13,034,431 XP), you need roughly 11,034,431 XP. At an average of 250 XP per Red Chinchompa, you would need approximately 44,138 Chinchompas. At a price of 1,200 GP each, the total cost would be roughly 52.9 Million GP.
