Hartshorn is the result of boiling Red Deer Antlers in a Cauldron. When placed in a boiling cauldron, Red Deer Antlers will eventually convert into a random amount of Hartshorn between 0.01kg, and 0.10kg
While the horns must be boiled for roughly two hours, the process can be interrupted and started intermittently at no penalty, as progress will never reset.
