Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success

General Description

Chompy killing is usually called "hunting", because it represents a combination of normal ranged combat and elements of the Hunter skill, which chompy hunting preceded. It is done for fun and to get cool chompy hats, but can also be a way to make money, since raw chompy meat is the primary ingredient in wild pies and hence rather valuable.

The biggest nuisance with collecting the chompy meat is that it is very heavy, so it used to be necessary to use energy potions to restore lost energy. However, recent changes have made run energy restore naturally at a much higher rate, so this is no longer an issue.

At mid level and up you should have completed the Zogre Flesh Eaters quest, so you can wield the ogre composite bow. This is better than the regular bow, especially if you use good arrows like adamant brutals (rune brutals are better still, but pricey.) Use a spirit terrorbird at mid and high levels to carry extra chompy meat, or a pack yak at level 96. Don't use a war tortoise as its high pouch cost doesn't pay off here.

Specific Method Details

Use a duelling ring to teleport to Castle Wars, keep the ring on and equip your best ranging gear, a ranging potion, an ogre composite bow and adamant brutal arrows, Take out from the bank a spirit terrorbird pouch and your bellows. Exit Castle Wars, run southeast, cross the bridge and then run west all the way to the swamp.

Now start hunting the chompies, using your ranging potion at the start and after about 7 or 8 minutes thereafter. A full description of how to hunt chompies is beyond the scope of this guide, so refer to another resource if necessary. Always pick up the raw chompy meat, and any arrows that your attractor doesn't get for you.

Store the chompies in the terrorbird to keep your weight down, and keep hunting until it is full and you have 26 raw chompies in your inventory (two spaces are reserved for the bellows and feathers). Teleport back to Castle Wars, bank and repeat.
