you can stand in a densely packed group of monsters and hit several at once, which multiplies your experience per throw compared to normal single-target methods.
To use them you generally bring a stack in your inventory and throw them at a central monster in the cluster. You want a multi-combat area where the monsters stay close so each explosion can damage as many as possible. Gear-wise I stack my best ranged accuracy and damage: decent ranged armor, a good cape, and a helmet that doesn't screw up my ranged bonuses. I always sip a ranging potion and flick either 'Rigour' or 'Eagle Eye' (depending on what I have unlocked) to boost damage. Inventory management is key — food, a teleport, and maybe a Saradomin brew or two if the place hits hard.
There's a clear trade-off: it's expensive. Chinchompas sell for a premium on the Grand Exchange and you're burning through them fast, so I only chin when I'm confident about the XP/hr and have the cash. Also, there are tactical things — use safespots when possible, avoid bringing chinchompas to single-target bosses, and remember they can accidentally pull you into dangerous aggro if you fumble your positioning. For me, chinning feels like a loud, chaotic, efficient party — fast XP and very satisfying when everything explodes just right.
I used to treat chinning like a science experiment, measuring what mattered: spacing, patience, and cost. Chinchompas are thrown weapons that operate on the game's ranged combat calculations; you target one NPC and the blast can damage adjacent ones. So your planning begins with location: pick a high-density spawn point where monsters don't wander off, are comfortable with multi-combat, and are weak enough that your blasts regularly land.
Before I start a session I sort out gear and boosts. I use my best ranged setup I can afford without sacrificing my safety — think high accuracy and some ranged strength where possible. I bring ranging potions, either 'Rigour' or 'Eagle Eye' for sustained damage, and always pack teleports and emergency food. Inventory usually consists of two to three inventory spaces for chins (stacked), remaining slots for food/teleports, and perhaps a rune pouch or relics depending on the location. If I'm training purely for XP/hr I ignore loot and focus on maximizing area hits: aim at the densest pack and time my throws for minimal downtime between explosions.
Because performance depends on your Ranged level, prayer, and the specific chinchompa type, I track my XP per hour and cost per hour — that guides whether I chin that session or switch to cheaper ranged options. It’s noisy, pricey, and absolutely addictive when the numbers line up, but it's one of the fastest ways to push high Ranged levels if you can stomach the expense.
I get a kick out of chinning because it turns ranged training into a chaotic fireworks show. You throw a chinchompa at one monster and the blast radiates to nearby mobs, so the trick is always finding tight groups in multi-combat areas. I usually stack ranging potions and prayer to bump damage, then just spam-throw, aiming for the center of the cluster so each explosion hits as many targets as possible.
Practical tips I use: bring a teleport or two in case things go sideways, wear strong ranged gear for accuracy, and always calculate if the XP/h justifies the cost of chins that day. It’s not a method for tight budgets, but when I want fast Ranged gains it’s my go-to — chaotic, loud, and wildly effective, and I love it for the satisfying chaos it produces.

Who said the weak can’t become strong? Even without powers I can become the most powerful. The Hunter race had existed for several millennia working both in the shadows and in the light protecting humanity from creatures that aren’t from this world, at the age of seven every child in the Hunter race would visit the Hunter god’s temple and receive his blessing in the form of a supernatural ability. Amongst the Hunters were different kinds of people with different types of abilities but one this was common amongst all of them and that was the colour of their eyes, they were all green. Marcus Fault on the other hand was born with icy blue eyes which made majority of the Hunters view him in a different light and from the moment he was born, his life was in danger and each day was like walking on the edge of the abyss, one slip off and he would fall never to return. When he was seventh birthday just like the tradition he was to head to the Hunter god temple to receive his blessings, his talent was first tested and stunning everyone present as he was tested to have legendary talent but unfortunately he wasn’t blessed by the Hunter god and thus the first powerless Hunter was born.

The Hunters.
The legendary Archers of Alestari were known world wide. Many trained for years, from youth to adulthood, to be good enough to qualify to be an apprentice to the Hunters.
Every year, the Hunters would travel all across the land of Alestari, searching for a single apprentice. Many hearts were crushed in this process. Because there were many years, that none were selected to train under the legendary Archers.
They would travel to every kingdom, city, town, village and tribe, searching. Royalty and common folk alike revered and worshiped the Hunters, for they were the true protectors of the land. A single Hunter was as good as 20 regular Archers. But they were also known to be excellent spies, as well as swordsmen. Any weapon in the world, they knew how to use properly. Thus they were highly sought after for military purposes and occasionally mercenaries.
To have a family member who was a Hunter, was the highest honor. They were treated like royalty, even by royals themselves.
Whatever a Hunter said, whoever they chose as an apprentice, no one ever argued. To fight with a Hunters choice, was to eliminate any chances you had of your family becoming one.
And for years, no one fought their decision. Until this year.
In the kingdom of Alestari, anyone was eligible to try and become an apprentice. Anyone, but a woman. Women were forbidden to learn any kind of weaponry, especially archery.
So when the King of the Hunters, chooses a woman to be an apprentice, many were angry. And they were out, to make her pay.

Orennox is a wizard who has been around since the world was made. As technology progresses, magic tends to wane and Orennox adapts to the trends. Now called Oren Knox, he is mostly known as a gunfighter, a notoriously cheap gunfighter who will use magic to make one bullet do the work of many so he doesn't have to keep buying ammunition. His quest is to locate the last Earth Nodes, the last strongholds of magic, and harness their power with the goal of bringing back his trapped wife. In order to find these Earth Nodes, he must use the services of the female Diabolists (night witches) who can sense the magic from long distances. Only, Diabolists are extremely rare and there is a psychopathic killer out there who wants them all dead. After losing one Diabolist to fate, Oren must protect his new asset from those who would hunt her down and kill her so he can find enough magic to complete his quest. However, he is not the only wizard left looking for Diabolists, Diabolists have minds of their own, and, according to him, everyone Oren comes in contact with is a sidewinding, low down, scoundrel.
My boyfriend, Victor Pearson, was ranked number one in the world in horror games.
Meanwhile, I was secretly working part-time as a monster NPC inside one of those dungeons.
Every dungeon he cleared was SSS rank, whereas the one I worked in was the beginner level.
We were never supposed to run into each other… until he nearly wiped out all the monsters in an SSS dungeon.
The system pulled me in at the last second as emergency backup.
When I tried to scare players with my awful acting, the live chat tore me apart.
[Hahaha, since when did the monsters in this dungeon get so cowardly? She’s supposed to scare us, but we actually scared her instead.]
[This is next-level dumb. Getting lost in a dungeon is embarrassing. Is this monster here for comic relief?]
[Poor thing. She'd better hide. Anyone else might let her go, but if she runs into Big V, she's dead before she knows it.]
[Come on. Big V only hunts the nastiest bosses. He wouldn’t even bother with trash like that. She would probably scare herself to death first.]
I did everything I could to avoid Victor, to keep him from realizing I was the monster working there.
But somehow, I stumbled right into him anyway.
The chat exploded, waiting for my instant death.
After all, he was a legend on the leaderboards, a god among players.
But instead of killing me, he bent down and gently pinched my cheek.
"Hey, babe. How many players do you wanna take out? I'll help you."
The people in the chat lost their minds.
[What the hell?!]
I get a real grin whenever I head out to trap chinchompas in 'Old School RuneScape' — they're chaotic little critters but excellent for range practice. The main places people hunt them are in the Feldip Hills area and in parts of the Wilderness. If you're going after the more common red chinchompas, the Feldip Hills hunting grounds are the go-to: there are several popular spawn spots where players set up rows of box traps and hop worlds to keep the area active. For the higher-tier black chinchompas, you usually have to venture into Wilderness hunting spots, which is great for loot but carries the PvP risk, so bring an escape method and be cautious.
Catching chinchompas is a box-trap activity — bring multiple box traps, watch the respawns, and be ready to relocate if the spot gets crowded. If you prefer a safer route, you can always buy chinchompas on the Grand Exchange to skip the stress of Wilderness or crowded farming spots. Personally, I like combining a little hunting in Feldip with a bit of market-checking; it keeps the grind interesting and my bank topped up. Give it a try and enjoy the satisfying clack of a boxed chinchompa — it’s oddly addictive.
Hunting chinchompas in 'Old School RuneScape' usually ends with the same handful of goodies in your inventory. When you kill a chinchompa-type creature you most commonly get a raw chinchompa (the item people use as ranged ammo), plus bones from the corpse. Beyond those two staples you'll often see small coin drops and the usual low-value junk — think seeds, low-tier herbs or rune shards that any low-level monster might yield. There’s also a chance for oddball drops like a clue scroll or a slightly rarer seed, but those are infrequent.
If you care about efficiency, remember that most players actually catch chinchompas with box traps via Hunter rather than slaughtering them; catching gives you live or raw chinchompas directly and is usually the best way to farm the item if that's your goal. Killing them is more of a combat interaction and sells mainly the bones and the occasional raw chinchompa. Overall, expect bones and raw chinchompa as the defaults, with little extras peppered in — still fun to see the occasional surprise loot, honestly.
