Red chinchompa detail
Red chinchompas are multi-target stackable Ranged weapons requiring level 55 to use. Red chinchompas can be obtained by box trapping carnivorous chinchompas in the Feldip Hunter area. This requires 63 Hunter, and will give the player 265 Hunter experience per catch. To use chinchompas in combat, they must be wielded in the weapons slot. Red chinchompas are thrown like darts or throwing knives; however, they explode on impact. They can hit up to 9 targets in a 3x3 area. They cannot be picked up again from the ground after being thrown and Ava's devices (attractor, accumulator, alerter) do not return them.

Using red chinchompas used to be widely regarded as the fastest way to train Ranged and Constitution; however, this method was very costly. Catching red chinchompas is also popular among high-level Hunters as it gives fast experience and is profitable.

Note: If a player dies with red chinchompas in their inventory or equipped, the chinchompas will disappear and cannot be retrieved. This is due to the fact that the chinchompa is a live animal, meaning it can run away.

Chinchompa guideEdit

Main article: Pay-to-play Ranged training#Chinchompa

Red chinchompas are no longer a practical way of training Ranged and Constitution due to the fact that exp rates are no longer based on a DPS (damage per second), but on how quickly you kill a monster. This has been the main cause red chinchompas' market price significantly dropping in price.

TriviaEdit

  • Previously, having red chinchompas equipped while running would make the player run with the running animation used before RuneScape HD was released. This was fixed on 24 June 2010.
  • Shortly after the release of Hunter, grey chinchompas and red chinchompas had the same Ranged attack bonus. Red chinchompas were not used by many players until they were given a higher bonus.
  • On 19 July 2010 the explosion animation of chinchompas was updated. It now uses particle effects and resembles the fireball from a fire spell.
  • Before the Evolution of Combat update, Red Chinchompas were commonly used for training the ranged combat skill. This method was very popular, and it wasn't uncommon to see a single chinchompa for going in excess of 700 GP per unit. Unfortunately, they are no longer a reliable method of making money; the introduction of exp per kill rather than per damage has made them almost useless for training. They're currently experiencing a rise, but it's unlikely that they will ever see the prices they once held, unless Jagex returns to EPD.
