Requirements

Mandatory and recommended are kept separate

Hard requirements

73 Hunter

Required to catch black chinchompas.

Eagles' Peak

Required to use box traps.

Wilderness access

The hunting ground is above level 30 Wilderness.

Box traps

Bring the number allowed by the account plus spares.

Recommended

80 Hunter

Allows six active traps and matches the current money-making setup.

Horn of Plenty

Can improve catch chance and duplicate catches when charged.

Low-risk tank gear

Use only protected or replaceable items whose death loss is known.

Royal seed pod

Teleports at level 30 or below after reaching the southern escape line.

Imp-in-a-box

Can bank chinchompas at or below level 30 to reduce the stack exposed.

Location and access

Level 32 to 36 Wilderness

1

Travel to the black chinchompa hunting area in the north-western Wilderness and identify an active spawn tile.

2

Set a clear route south to level 30, then to Ferox or another bank. Caught chinchompas are lost on death, so bank by value rather than inventory fullness alone.

Method

A repeatable practical cycle

1
Price the death

Check gear, trap, supply and caught-chinchompa loss before entering.

2
Mark the spawn

Kill one chinchompa if needed, note its respawn tile and surround it with traps.

3
Reset immediately

Collect and replace traps before wandering creatures break the pattern.

4
Watch the player list

Leave on the chosen trigger rather than waiting for an attacker to land a freeze.

5
Bank by stack value

Move south and secure catches before the expected loss outweighs another cycle.

XP vs profit

What changes the tradeoff

About 94.5K Hunter XP/hr at 300 catches

Each catch gives 315 Hunter XP. Level 80 supports six traps and the Wiki money-making route, while tick manipulation can raise rates at much higher attention and risk exposure.

Wilderness risk

32 to 36 Wilderness

Price the loss before the lap

Caught black chinchompas and unprotected supplies are lost on death. The calculator keeps gross catch value separate from the user's death rate and average loss.

  • Run south to level 30 for a Royal seed pod
  • Logout before combat when safe
  • Use terrain and freezes to create a logout gap
  • Bank catches periodically rather than risking the full hour

Common mistakes

Method-specific checks

1

Using six-trap rates below 80 Hunter

2

Waiting for a full inventory before banking

3

Assuming the Royal seed pod works above level 30

4

Bringing a valuable anti-PK setup without checking death loss

Useful upgrades

Improvements that affect this method

1
80 Hunter

Unlocks the sixth trap.

2
Horn of Plenty

Improves catch performance when charged.

3
Imp-in-a-box route

Can secure catches after reaching level 30.

4
Practiced southern escape

Reduces time spent deciding under attack.
