Desert goat horns are obtained by killing a Goat or Billy goat in the Kharidian Desert, or Scabarites (all but Scabaras ranger), or as a random drop from Corporeal Beast. When used with a pestle and mortar, they become goat horn dust, which are used as ingredients for Combat potions or tertiary ingredients for Smoke Devil summoning pouches.
It is also possible to receive horns by selecting the 'Gamble' option when receiving rewards at the Soul Wars activity. This will result in receiving horns in quantities of 6. The price of desert goat horns has dropped recently due to bots killing them. Jagex then added an herblore shop close to the area where the bots were used. It is unclear whether they did this to encourage players to report the bots and/or act as a deterrent to macroers.

Obtaining horns
The easiest way to obtain desert goat horns is to kill goats just west of the bank in Nardah, where banking is quick. It is recommended to wear full desert clothes and have two or more full waterskins in your inventory as the damage from the desert heat effect can be dangerous. An enchanted water tiara with water runes bound to it can be used in place of waterskins to save inventory space. Having a high combat level and a good weapon is recommended to kill goats quickly. If you are combat level 75+, you can bank 150-200 desert goat horns in an hour.
