Let us talk about the surprisingly efficient, oddly satisfying one-click chinchompa method on the new Chinchompa Island introduced with Sailing. This approach has quickly become one of the most entertaining semi-AFK Hunter setups available. If you are hunting for the Chinchompa pet—or want fast and forgiving Hunter XP—this method deserves your attention.

Getting to Chinchompa Island

Your journey begins by boarding at Port Roberts, then proceeding your way over, and finally sailing to the island. You will need 42 Sailing to dock at the correct spot. Your boat will remain floating slightly offshore, just minding its own business.

Once you arrive, head toward a specific tile on the island where the terrain has a unique wave-like rise. This small bump in the landscape is the key to the entire setup and enables the one-click alignment.

Setting Up Your Box Traps

The premise is simple:

1. Stand on the exact tile where the elevation works in your favor.

2. Lay your box traps in a straight horizontal line, like this:

  • 1-2-3-4-5, depending on how many traps your Hunter level supports.

3. Configure the traps correctly:

  • When a trap is standing, interacting with it should default to Walk here, so you do not accidentally attack chinchompas.

  • When a catch occurs, the trap should be set to automatically reset as soon as you click it.

This method works best on desktop Plugin. It can technically be replicated elsewhere, but mobile introduces too much risk of tapping on the chinchompas directly.

The Camera Angle That Makes Everything Work

Angle your camera so that your traps appear in a perfect straight line from your character’s perspective. Then place your mouse cursor on a single spot—without moving it.

From here, the “method” becomes almost comically simple:

Just click.

Every trap that springs, fails, or catches something can be reset with that same single click, because the terrain alignment causes the interaction box to overlap precisely.

You can even keep game sounds on to hear the audio cues for when traps need attention.

The Foot Pedal Meta

If you want to take this from semi-AFK to full “I’m running a chinchompa factory from the floor,” consider using a mouse foot pedal.

A foot pedal is exactly what it sounds like: a device placed on the floor that simply clicks your mouse for you. With the camera fixed, traps lined up, and the cursor locked in place, the pedal lets you tap once every few seconds without ever touching your mouse.

For anyone working from home, playing on a second monitor, or just interested in ergonomic degeneracy, the foot pedal turns this into some of the easiest Hunter XP in the game.

Experience Rates and Practical Considerations

Players, including myself, are reporting over 120,000 Hunter XP per hour using this method with a decent sample size. Much of this efficiency hinges on:

• Maintaining the perfect camera angle

• Standing on the correct tile

• Ensuring your traps are aligned and configured properly

• The unique wavy topography of this specific island tile

This terrain is likely the only reason the method functions as a true one-click setup. Flat terrain does not provide the same alignment effect, and for that reason, this may be patched or adjusted in the future.

Ideal For Pet Hunters and AFK Enthusiasts

If you are grinding for the Chinchompa pet, or simply want low-effort Hunter training while performing other tasks, this trick is perfect. It is easy, satisfying, and deceptively effective.

Whether you intend to “abuse early and abuse often” is up to you, but the method is currently running strong—and incredibly convenient.

Final Thoughts

Chinchompa Island arrived as part of the Sailing expansion, and almost immediately, players discovered this unexpectedly elegant one-click Hunter setup. It is absolutely worth trying before Jagex inevitably revisits the interaction.
