Money making guide/Grinding unicorn horns

Unicorn horn dust is used to create antipoison and superantipoisons. Because these are often used to train Herblore, and grinding unicorn horns gives no experience, many players avoid the tedium of making Unicorn horn dust and buy it directly from the Grand Exchange. This opens up an opportunity to grind horns for profit. Like all methods involving large amounts of buying and selling, which require a relatively high capital to start, it is recommended to test the market by grinding one unicorn horn first to make sure it is profitable.

Multiple horns can be ground in one game tick, or they can be left to auto-grind every 3 ticks. This results in anywhere between 1,800 (idle) and 18,000 (high-intensity) horns ground per hour, with profits ranging from 138,600 to 1,386,000.

To grind the horns, use them together with a pestle and mortar. It will slowly grind the unicorn horns one by one, so the speed can be significantly increased by grinding each horn manually. Doing this may be easier by placing the pestle and mortar next to the last horn in your inventory, reducing the distance you need to move your mouse.
