A Chompy chick is a rare and sought after pet in RuneScape. Chompy chicks are baby versions of the Chompy bird that can be hunted as Slayer tasks on Feldip Hills and Jiggig in RuneScape. While killing chompies on a Slayer assignment, players have a small chance of coming across a Chompy chick as a rare drop. This Chompy chick can then be kept as a pet.
Getting a chompy chick pet takes some time and effort, as the drop rate for chompy chicks is very low. However, with persistence and by completing chompy bird hunting tasks on Feldip Hills and Jiggig, players can eventually add this cute skittish bird to their menagerie of pets.
Requirements for Getting a Chompy Chick
There are a few requirements needed in order to have a chance at obtaining a chompy chick pet:
- Must have level 30 Ranged – This is needed in order to wield the ogre bow and ogre arrows required to hunt chompies.
- Completion of Freeing Skrach Uglogwee quest – This grants access to Feldip Hills where chompies are located.
- Ogre bow and ogre arrows – You need these specific ranged weapons to hunt chompies successfully.
- Must get a chompy bird hunting assignment from an Ogre bellow in Feldip Hills or Jiggig. You can only hunt chompies effectively while on assignment.
So as long as you meet these requirements, you can start hunting chompies for a chance at the chompy chick pet drop. The higher your Ranged level, the faster and more efficiently you’ll be able to hunt chompies. Beyond that, it’s all about patience and persistence.
How to Get a Chompy Bird Hunting Assignment
Here is how to get started hunting chompies:
- Travel to Feldip Hills or Jiggig. The easiest way is using the gnome glider transportation system.
- Speak to one of the Ogre bellows in the chompy bird hunting camp.
- Ask them for a chompy bird hunting task. This will assign you to hunt 50-500 chompies depending on your Ranged level.
- Make sure you have your ogre bow and ogre arrows equipped.
- Start hunting chompies around the area. Chompt chicks will randomly spawn while hunting your assignment.
- Finish your assignment by speaking to the Ogre bellow again when done.
The amount of chompies you must kill for each task will vary based on your current Ranged level:
Ranged Level | Chompies to Kill |
1-19 | 50 |
20-39 | 100 |
40-59 | 250 |
60-99 | 500 |
So at higher Ranged levels, you’ll be assigned larger chompy hunting tasks, which gives you more chances of encountering the rare Chompy chick pet.
Droprate for Chompy Chick Pet
The Chompy chick pet is a very rare drop from hunting chompies. The estimated drop rate is around 1 in 5,000. This means for every 5,000 chompies killed, you will on average receive 1 Chompy chick pet.
However, since this is chance-based, you could theoretically hunt 10,000 chompies and never see one. Or you could get extremely lucky and receive multiple pet drops within your first few assignments. There is no guarantee.
Just keep completing more chompy hunting assignments to rack up your kills. The more you hunt, the better chance you’ll eventually stumble across this prized pet!
Using the Chompy Chick Pet
Once you have managed to obtain the Chompt chick pet drop, here is how to unlock it:
- Speak to Remon the Ranger at the Ranging Guild just southwest of Varrock.
- Have him investigate your Chompy chick.
- He will give you a dialogue explaining how to train and raise the Chompy chick.
- After this dialogue, the pet will be unlocked and available to summon.
The Chompy chick pet will then be available in your pet interface panel along with any other pets you may have unlocked.
The Chompy chick pet has a few unique animations and interactions:
- It is very small and can sit on the player’s shoulder instead of following.
- When called, it may lose feathers and look dizzy/disheveled before returning to normal.
- Occasionally the chick will lay a rotten egg and quickly destroy it in shame.
Overall, it is an adorable and highly desired skittish bird companion for any pet collector or chompy hunter in RuneScape!
Getting the Chompt Chick Pet Faster
For players determined to get their hands on this pet, here are some tips to speed up the grind:
- Use Ranged potions – This will boost your Ranged level temporarily and allow you to be assigned larger chompy tasks for more kills per hour.
- Cannon usage – Setting up a dwarf multicannon in the chompy hunting grounds lets you rack up chompy kills fast.
- Elite Ogre bow – The upgraded ogre bow from Song of the Elves quest increases accuracy and damage.
- Use Ranged-boosting equipment – Items like the Ranged skillcape, Armadyl armor, anguish amulet etc will all help maximize kills per hour.
- Wilderness slayer – Kill chompies in the Wilderness under a Wilderness slayer assignment for better drop rates.
Following these tips will significantly speed up chompy kill rates, making acquiring the Chompy chick pet much faster. However, it still requires patience as the pet is never guaranteed within a certain number of kills. But with dedication, the Chompy chick pet can eventually join the collection of any avid RuneScape pet hunter.
Conclusion
Obtaining the rare Chompy chick pet is no easy feat, but it’s very rewarding for any RuneScape player looking to expand their pet collection. By hunting chompies on assignment in Feldip Hills and Jiggig, you’ll eventually have a chance at this unique skittish bird pet. With enough time invested, the Chompy chick can be yours to summon and show off in-game. Just be prepared for a long grind, and happy chompy hunting!
