OSRS Black Chinchompa Guide: Locations & XP Per Hour

Black Chinchompas are unique creatures used as stackable ranged weapons. Their ability to hit multiple enemies simultaneously allows players to achieve impressive ranged XP rates, making them highly sought after for ranged training. These chinchompas can only be caught using the Hunter skill, and they’re exclusively found in the Wilderness, adding an element of risk to the reward.

Requirements for Catching Black Chinchompas

• 73 hunter: players can only set 5 traps at this level until level 80 when they can set up to 6 traps.
• Completion of Eagles’ Peak

Recommendations for Catching Black Chinchompas

• 43+ prayer: to use protection prayer against PKers
• 70+ defence and defensive armour: to tank hits from PKers
• Charged imp-in-a-box: these can be made by catching an imp with a magic box. It can be used to send items from anywhere to the bank, allowing players to take less risk, especially when in the wilderness. To use them, go to level 30 wilderness or below, click the imp-in-a-box, and select the item you want to bank

Gear Setup for Catching Black Chinchompas

Note that if a player dies with Chinchompas in their inventory or equipped, the Chinchompas will disappear and cannot be retrieved. Since you are in the Wilderness, it is best to take only 3 expensive pieces of armour so you can save them on death, or 4 if you are using protect item prayer. Make sure you turn off the player attack option in settings, so you can't attack other players and don’t get skull tricked.

Location for Catching Black Chinchompas

South-east of the Lava Maze: This is the only location where players can catch Black Chinchompas. It is close to the Lava Maze, deep in the level 40–45 wilderness, so beware of PKers. There are 12 spawns in this location, enough to get decent XP and Catch rates.

Here are the fastest methods to get here:

• Burning amulet: This is the fastest method, as it will teleport the player directly to the Lava maze which is a short distance from the black Chinchompa hunting area.
• Wilderness Obelisks 
• Wilderness canoe: players can ride a canoe and arrive next to the wilderness Obelisk

Strategy for Catching Black Chinchompas

To hunt Black Chinchompas, you'll need to use a box trap, just like with other chinchompas. However, getting the best Hunter XP rates with Black Chins requires more strategy and attention. It’s a good idea to bring along a ranged weapon and some ammunition, as this can significantly improve your efficiency.

The process involves using your ranged weapon to kill the Black Chinchompas that escape your traps. By doing this, you can see exactly where they spawn and position your traps accordingly. Once you’ve identified the spawn square, surround it with box traps. This setup increases your chances of catching the Black Chins as they respawn.

Occasionally, a Black Chin may dismantle your traps and wander off. If this happens, quickly kill it with your ranged weapon, reset your traps, and wait for it to respawn. Fortunately, Black Chins respawn very quickly—usually within three to four seconds—so you won’t lose much time.

While this method requires more focus and attention, the extra effort pays off with significantly better XP rates, making it one of the most effective ways to train Hunter and earn profit simultaneously. After you get enough black Chinchompas that you can’t risk due to PKers, run/walk down to level 30 wilderness and teleport using any teleportation method you have. 

To minimize chances of running into PKers, play on worlds with high skill level requirements. Additionally, play during off-peak hours when the overall player activity is lower. If you run into one, run south to level 30 wilderness while using Protect from mage. Pray accordingly as they switch styles, tank their hits, tick-eat (eat a shark, brew, and Karambwan in one tick), and teleport when you get to level 30 wilderness if not tele-blocked. Use Augury (77 prayer) if you can as it improves your magic defence by 25%, reducing your chance of getting teleblocked

RuneLite plugins

Tile Markers

Once you locate the black chinchompa spawn points, use the Tile Markers feature on RuneLite to mark those spots. This ensures you can consistently set your traps in the correct locations every time, maximizing efficiency.

Player indicator

The Player Indicators plugin on RuneLite helps you spot other players from a farther distance by highlighting their names or tiles. This is especially useful in the Wilderness, where you might encounter player killers (PKers). By identifying approaching PKers early, you’ll have more time to prepare your escape or defend yourself effectively, increasing your chances of survival while training.

Black Chinchompa Spawns

Here are the exact locations where Black Chinchompas spawn. You should set your trap around these squares to get the best XP rates. The area is divided into 3 spots, each having four Chinchompa spawns as shown below.
