Chinning is a method of training range in which Chinchompas are used to attack a large number of enemies, resulting in a high amount of experience. This method is very popular for people who want to quickly train range: it can generate 150k - 1 million+ xp per hour. It also gives the highest hitpoints experience rates in OSRS, depending on the ranged level.
ㅤ
Chinchompas are multi-target, stackable weapons that can be obtained through hunting or purchased directly from the Grand Exchange. When used to attack, they explode on impact, causing damage to nearby enemies. Chinchompas are different from other range weapons: they are living animals, so if they are dropped, they will flee, and you will lose all of them. As a result, you should only carry as many as you are willing to risk.
Chinchompas are quite expensive in the Grand Exchange and difficult to catch. This guide will cover both the MM1 and MM2 dungeon locations, best gear, and various chinning methods.
ㅤ
Although you can begin chinning at level 45 and gain more experience than other methods available at that level, you will lose far too many chins this way and are better off saving those chins and using a cheaper method until you reach the 80 range. If you don't mind losing a few million gp, you could start chinning at 70, but starting at 45 is not recommended because the XP gained per chin used is extremely low.
ㅤ
After completing the Eagles Peak quest, all types of Chinchompas can be caught using box traps, or if you are a main account, you can directly buy them on the Grand Exchange.
Chinchompas are classified into 3 types:
Regular Chinchompas (45 ranged)These Chinchomps require a hunter level 53 or higher, provide no ranged bonus, and provide the lowest experience rates when chining. To equip as a ranged weapon, you need 45 ranged. They are the least common Chinchompas used by players, and I would avoid using them if your ranged level is higher than 55, as red and black Chinchompas provide more experience.
Red Chinchompas (55 anged)Red Chinchompas require a hunting level of 63 to catch and a ranged level of 55 to equip for ranged training; these chins provide the best ranged training experience until level 65, when black Chinchompas become available. You can expect to spend up to 3.5m gp per hour using these chins for ranged training.
Black Chinchompas (65 ranged)Black Chinchompas require a hunting level of 73 to catch and a ranged level of 65 to use for ranged training. They provide the best ranged training experiences in Oldschool Runescape. In addition, they provide a +2 ranged attack bonus. They cost nearly twice as much as red chins, so plan on spending around 7m per hour.
Chinning at MM1
After you break the Apet atoll tab, run west to the Ape atoll dungeon. Ensure you wear your money greegree right after teleported or turn protect from melee because of other monsters before you enter the Apetoll dungeon. When you enter the Apetoll dungeon, the image below shows how you can get to the spot filled with a good number of Skeletons for training:
To be able to chin effectively, you must be in an area populated by enemies who can be stacked together in large numbers (more than ten), have a low ranged defense, such as Skeleton Monkey. They are located in a multi-combat zone, so you must have their attacks protected against using prayer (protect from melee in this case).
Spawn trick: To make more skeletons appear, you can collect the bones they drop when they die, collect them, and drop them separately. From time to time, the cave has an earthquake thing that causes the bones you dropped to revive in more NPCs, allowing you to increase more ranged exp by throwing chinchompas since they will hit more damage = more EXP p/h.
After a while, the Skeletons will stop being aggressive; all you have to do is run back through the way you came to the de-aggro spot shown above and then back to re-aggro them. If you have Runelite, you can use the aggressive monsters plugin, which shows you the timer of how much time you have left before they stop attacking you because they are aggressive.
The MM1 location, also known as the Ape toll Dungeon, is one of the best places to do chinning efficiently. It is unlocked during the Monkey Madness I quest when you visit the Ape toll through the glider. This location is filled with various monsters. However, because they tend to duplicate themselves (stack) and have a lack of ranged defense, you should train with Skeletons. The disadvantage of this method is that skeletons only drop skeletal bones, which cannot be sold or taken out of the Ape toll dungeon. When chinning at this location, it is strongly advised to use the Void gear obtained from the pest control minigame, as well as the Salve amulet(ei), which, when combined, can provide 30% ranged damage and accuracy.

This location provides significantly less experience than maniacal monkeys in Kruk's Dungeon, so unless you are unable to complete the Monkey Madness 2 quest for a valid reason, you should switch to maniacal monkeys when chinning. Depending on your gear and how efficiently you use this method, you should expect to gain 135,000- 450,000 experience per hour.
Chinning Maniacal monkeys in Kruk's dungeon provides the highest ranged experience rates in Old School Runescape. The Kruk's dungeon is unlocked during the Monkey Madness II quest. The Maniacal monkeys have a lower defense, are more aggressive, and gather in larger numbers than Skeletal monkeys. Before beginning this method, it is also necessary to have 43 prayer to protect against melee, which is the only form of attack by maniacal monkeys. The maniacal monkeys, unlike the skeletal monkeys, drop one dose of prayer potion. Also, when chinning at the maniacal monkeys, the bonus gotten from the salve amulet does not work, so you just wear the amulet of fury at all times to get the ranged bonus. This method is generally semi-afk because you only need to drink prayer potions and ranging potions when necessary, unless you choose to use other methods discussed below. It is recommended to have prayer a lot higher than 43 so you can be afk for longer periods of time.
As soon as you enter the Kruk’s dungeon, you should be in the image 1 location shown below, then you should traverse to the location in image 2 by following the yellow line. From here, you can easily navigate into the hole where the maniacal monkeys are located.
You should always pray when you're in the dungeon because one of these maniacal monkeys can hit up to 18, and it's a multicombat area, meaning they can 1-hit you. Each Maniacal monkey has up to 60 hitpoints and no ranged defense.
Although there are maniacal monkeys throughout the dungeon, the best place to use this method is in the northernmost part of the dungeon, as shown in the image below. You can get up to 300,000 to 1,000,000 experience per hour at this location.
The manical monkeys are aggressive to you for 10 minutes, after which you must run west into the south passage indicated below, then back to the spot to reset their aggression.

The Click intensive method: This method generates the highest experience rates when chinning; the procedure is simple; all you need to do is click back and forth after each chin that is thrown. This would make the maniacal monkeys cluster even more, and you will gain even better experience rates as a result..This method may require a lot of clicks, but the experience rates may be worth it for you.
When you want to get better experience rates but don't want to click as much as the click-intensive method requires, click attack on the maniacal monkey in the center of a 3 3 or 4 by 4 cluster of maniacal monkeys. This method allows you to semi-AFK for a few minutes because you only need to attack when you are not attacking the middle of a 3 by 3 or 4 by 4 clump of maniacal monkeys, allowing you to inflict damage on maniacal monkeys within range of the maniacal monkey on which you throw your chin.
Regular Afk method: This is the standard method of chinning, and all you need to do is turn on auto-retrieve like in the other methods and wait until the manaical monkeys become non-aggressive before running to the De-aggro spot and back to make them aggressive again. The experience rates are lower than when using the methods above.
Dancing accounts method: This method requires the use of two alt accounts. First, you must wait until the maniacal monkeys stop being aggressive to the two alts, and then the second account should follow the first account to the best chinning spot shown above, where the maniacal monkeys are packed. If the second account follows the first account at the right time, they will start dancing, and when you attack with your main account, there will be no need to run to the De-aggro spot to reset the aggression of the maniacal monkeys.

When it comes to ranged training, you should always look for the best ranged gear that provides the highest ranged bonus based on the training method you use. And the best gear for chinning would be the Void ranging helmet + elite void top + elite void bottom + void gloves + amulet of fury + Archer ring(i) + Soul wars cape + rangers boot, you should swap the amulet of fury for salve amulet(ei) when chinning at MM1. Although the Elite void is not the most powerful ranged weapon, it can deal up to 10% more damage than other ranged weapons if it is equipped when chinning.

Holy WrenchThe Holy Wrench is optional but useful for saving money when chinning; it is obtained as a reward from the Rum Deal quest, which is not difficult to complete and requires medium level in some skills. If you have this in your inventory while chinning, it will add 2% to your prayer level whenever you drink a dose of prayer potion.
Soul Wars CapeThis cape offers +8 prayer bonus, which is the highest prayer bonus from any cape in Old School Runescape. It is obtained from the Soul Wars minigame, costing 2,500 Zeal tokens to purchase from the reward shop, and it requires 70 prayer to equip and purchase.,
Salve amulet(ei) This is the imbued and enchanted form of the salve amulet. It should be used when chinning at MM1, it offers up 20% more damage when chinning skeletons and offers a +3 prayer bonus.
Chinning with the Bonecrusher necklaceThe bone crusher necklace combines the effects of the bone crusher and the dragonstone necklace to provide automatic prayer restoration while chinning at maniacal, skeletal monkeys or any enemy that drops bones when they die. The bone crusher necklace requires 70 prayer to equip and is made by combining one bonecrusher, one dragonbone necklace, and the Hydra tai, which is dropped by the Achemica Hydra. The bone crusher can be obtained as a reward from the hard Morytania Diary by speaking to the Ghost disciple in the Ectofuntus. When you kill a monster that drops bones, the bone crusher will automatically crush the bones and give you half the prayer experience that burying the bones would have given you.
The Dragonbone necklace is dropped by Vorkarth at a rate of 1/1000, it restores prayer points as bones are being buried, When it’s features are combined with the Bonecrusher, which automatically crushes bones as they are dropped, you will be able to increase your prayer points whenever you equip the bonecrusher necklace and killl maniacal or skeletal monkeys, making this method suitable for chinning because you would save a ton of prayer potions.
It is not a good idea to always equip the Bonecrusher necklace because it does not provide good ranged bonuses. Instead, equip the amulet of fury and when your prayer levels reach 10, equip the bonecrusher, then when you have recovered all of your lost prayer points, equip the amulet of fury again to receive the ranged bonuses it provides. And, because the bonecrusher necklace behaves like a regular bonecrusher when not equipped, you could train prayer simply by having it in your inventory. You won’t need to bring prayer potions when using this method.
