Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success
General Description
Goats have a 100% drop of desert goat horns and bones. The horns are used in both Herblore and Summoning, and it's easy to collect lots of them because the animals are low level and are right next to a bank.
The only complication at lower levels is the need to use waterskins since they are in the desert. At higher levels the desert heat issue can be dispensed with easily by wearing the enchanted water tiara from the quest Dealing with Scabaras. A new problem arises, however: killing the goats faster than they respawn. The normal solution to this is to be sure to fight on a world that is as full as possible. However, this method of making money is increasing in popularity, and many times of the day there are only a handful of worlds that are close to full. My numbers assume the use of a world about 2/3 full.
Specific Method Details
First, go to Shantay Pass (at the south end of Al-Kharid) and buy a big bunch of full waterskins -- you need at least 30 per hour. Then begin the trip to Nardah by going through the pass and paying to take the carpet ride to Pollnivneach. Run to the south end of that town and take another carpet ride to Nardah. Go to the bank there and put on standard melee combat gear. Take out of the bank 6 full waterskins and 2 salmon (or comparable healing food), along with a 2-dose super set and a spirit terrorbird. Summon the familiar.
Drink the first dose of your super set, run west of the bank and you'll find three level 23 goats and one level 33 billy goat -- ignore the latter and concentrate on the regular goats (they are easier to kill and they respawn fast enough at this level.)
It will take about 11 minutes to get a full load of horns; drop empty waterskins as you fight, use food as needed and take the second dose of super set half way through and drop the vials.
When you have 12 horns put them in the terrorbird, then continue fighting until you have 28 more. Return to the bank, store them and repeat the process.
