4K Zeal with Red Chinchompas

[g_u_t_h_i_x]

Amazing!

 

 

 

If I was a higher lvl I'd stock up on those things!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Staking For The win?

[PhelimReagh]

Anyone care to explain what those things are/how they help with the dmg you do?

 

 

 

Part of me wants to be selfish and doesn't want too many people to know :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But basically, there are two portals where they are best used.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The one that's usually ready first is the portal to the west of the void knight (basically, if the lander is at the bottom of your screen, the portal to the right). It needs a good minute or so to get primed and clogged, though. It doesn't always get primed though, as it's the second easiest portal to take down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usually, though, 1 out of every 3 games it'll be primed and ready.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other portal is the one just south of it, the pink portal to the south west of the Void Knight. The pink one, however, is rarely clogged. Maybe once every 10-15 games, though, and only if the game starts going really long.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OK, so the game starts...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I rush in, use the dragon battle axe special, sip a restore potion, and then use my whip on the yellow/orange portal to the south east. After that's down, I move to the western portal I mentioned above. I go after it with the whip if there is no congestion, and then use the Chinchompas if necessary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After that portal is down, I rush to the pink, and see if it needs Chinchompas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I like to throw at low level Brawlers if I can. I can't prove it, but I think their large size increases the area of effect. Plus, they always seem to be in range. Smaller creatures blocked by the Brawlers cannot be directly targeted, but they get splashed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prayer also helps. I think it's too risky to use a Ranging potion, because you never know when the game is gonna be one of those 30 second ones.

wow, i never thought chinchompas were even worth it that much, i got about 20k of them stocked from hunter so far

Enjoy the 4mil! :shock:

[muggiwhplar]

Buying all red chinchompas :D

[NukeMarine]

I know the point's not about Hunter skill, but it's nice that this skill supports other skills almost as much as lunar magic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's prayer (temporary help, as chins and sally's don't drop bones), thieving, running based skill training, range, herblore and a host of other skills you can benefit just through normal training of hunter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The chin benefit was obvious the instant I heard it did 9 squares of damage. That screamed either Dagg cave or pest control. Now you showed that pest control with low level teams are great to train on. Oh no, now you'll world hop when the heart units show up, the irony.

[assassin_696]

How fast are these things to obtain through hunter. I.e. is it worth training hunter to get them with the intention of getting plenty of range exp at pest control?

[NukeMarine]

Ok, here's my results:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Range 85

 

 

 

Wield: Normal chinchompa, full black, archer helm, zammy,

 

 

 

Used eagle eye prayer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, world 6 (awful world for Pest Control, so perfect for chins). Used 900 chins in not too many games (about 50 minutes I think).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gained: 61.3k Range XP, 20.4k HP xp,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so 68.1 range xp and 22.7 hp xp per chin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as how fast can you gather chins, if players were getting 80k xp an hour at red chins in hunter, must be 320 red chins an hour.

[nicrune007]

Hmmm different results

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

at 91 ranged with prayer

 

 

 

1k chimps=80k xp + 30 points

[killmenub]

Hmm make me want to buy some to get my 64 range up o.O

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shame there fairly costly to be honest, other i'd buy a few 1000's.

[crazy_mimic]

OMG =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I guess I'm not going to sell my 15k Chinchompas =))

[Spicer001]

Flippin Hell! :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thats amazing

[Dazzuh]

WOW that is pretty insane! What range level do you need for them?

[Maximiliank]

WOW that is pretty insane! What range level do you need for them?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

55 ranged...

[bubbels]

liar :F

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and my best is 6443 or something :P 85 range with chinchompas ftw

[kido14]

 

Anyone care to explain what those things are/how they help with the dmg you do?

 

 

 

Stuff...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the response but what I wanted to know is what they actually do. Do they come out and attack stuff for you or are they a ranged weapon or what?

[miracleman58]

wow. :shock:

[Ts_Stormrage]

and what range do you use?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I understand that there are different lengths of fuse, does that affect accuracy in any way?

[Dragontotem]

Ahem..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wooot congratz on that zomgzomg you pwn and stuff like that, but can someone tell my noobish mate *COUGHS* me *COUGHS* what are red chinchompas? lol :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, that was not sarcasm :D max points iv made is like 50? :D

[xSxqPowerx]

 

Few things annoy me more than the way you just used the word zeal.

 

 

 

:roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh do forgive me for trying to use a Runescapian colloquialism on a Runescape fansite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Danged if you do, danged if you don't.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but they seem slightly innacurate, and not quite as fast as knifes or msb. But for playing pest control I can see that they would be useful because of their multi target ability.

 

 

 

Well, they may "seem" that way to you, but they're not. They're at at least as fast as a MSB, although if you miss, you generally miss all. However, when you hit, you hit en masse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A single Chinchompa, if used correctly, can get you about 200-1,000+ Range xp. The upper limit is very hard to determine (unless you are, in fact, limited to ten victims, which I don't think is true), especially around an very clogged portal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A single cannonball gets you, on average, 30 Range XP (15 hits x 2xp).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chinchompas cost 200-300 (at least now they do).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cannonballs cost 175-200.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People generally think of cannonballs as the fastest (albeit more expensive) way to get Range XP. Chinchompas blow them out of the water, both in terms of gp/XP and speed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it cheaper to get your range XP using iron arrows and a mage bow? Possibly, although I think that if used properly a person can make a case that Chinchompas could be cheaper, too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But Chinchompas are insanely faster. I could never go back to training using arrows. No way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's a reason it took me months to get 64 Range, and then maybe a dozen pest control hours to get to 76. I hated training range. It's finally fun and fast, and I look forward to training on things with drops (Dagganoths, Bandits, thanks for the suggestions).

 

 

 

Hmm. I was in a little bit of a bad mood at the time I posted that. :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone ever tried training range at dagannoths under the lighthouse with cannon AND chinchimpas? :XD:

[PhelimReagh]

...Anyone ever tried training range at dagannoths under the lighthouse with cannon AND chinchimpas? :XD:

 

 

 

Oh the humanity, er, dagannothity...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think that would qualify as an exercise in species-cleansing. The UN would be all over you with stern condemnations and strongly-worded resolutions.

[jjrox32]

 

I'd really like to go hunt some chinchompas now! :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and some people said that skill was rubbish. they were wrong ahhahahahaha

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hunter itself isn't a useful skill, but it gives really helpful boosts to other skills. Actually, it boosts a LOT of skills. :

[jade_slayer6]

i got 500 points in about a 1 min affliction game with normal chinchompas

[Orpheus]

does range bonus affect it?
