Crystal skillchompas are a special type of skilling tool obtained by catching crystal skillchompas in the Isafdar forest, north of the Tyras Camp at level 97 Hunter. When wielded or in the player's inventory, they provide a number of benefits in the Fishing, Mining, Woodcutting, Divination and Archaeology skills. They require level 71 in the relevant skill to be used. They are the highest levelled skillchompa type.

When used for Fishing, Woodcutting or Divination, crystal skillchompas are consumed regardless of whether the action performed was successful. Skillchompas grant an additional 10% experience on successful completion of an action and additionally grant experience equivalent to 5% of having successfully completed an action each time an action is attempted unsuccessfully. When used for Mining, Crystal skillchompas are only consumed upon a critical swing adding 70 bonus crit damage.

They also provide specific benefits in each of the skills they aid. When used in Mining, Woodcutting, or Archaeology, they operate as a crystal pickaxe, crystal hatchet, or crystal mattock respectively. When used to train Divination, they give an extra 22.5% chance of obtaining an enriched memory when harvesting wisps. When used in Fishing, they grant a 5% increased chance to catch a fish or item. This allows for an expensive, but slightly faster method of training relatively slow skills.
