Ashes appear when a fire burns out and are dropped by all kinds of Demons, Mummies, and Imps, or by picking the White lily. They look like mined clay except that they are white and clay in contrast, is tan. There are limited use in RuneScape. Specifically:
[edit] Uses
- They are used in the Prince Ali Rescue and Desert Treasure quests.
- They are used to make Serum 207.
- They can be crushed with a Pestle and mortar to make a ground ashes used to dust the character's hands. This helps when throwing a shotput in the Warriors' Guild for better grip.
- They are used with a Fruit blast to make a Dirty blast for the first part of the Recipe for Disaster quest.
- Lumbridge Skills Tutors may ask for 25 ashes.
- They are used as food for the Phoenix (pet) and the Abyssal minion
[edit] Trivia
- Because ashes are occasionally used to raise herblore (by making Serum 207), players can make some profit by selling them on the Grand Exchange, some times for the max price available. They can be commonly collected just off the ground around the Grand Exchange left over from players training their firemaking.
- There is only one use for free players besides selling them.
- There was a limited time where ashes were worth 45-47gp in the Grand Exchange.
- Some players like to light logs and sell ashes, although logs are more valuable.
- Most Non-members see ashes as worthless, but new players can earn a fair amount of money by taking them and selling them. This is a slow but sure tactic.
- During the Draynor Bank Robbery, the victims dropped ashes when the Wise Old Man killed them.
- If you drop a Hammer on top of ashes they look a little like silver ore.
- On 7 August, 2009 the price rose over 1200% over night the maximum ever of a item in one day from 3 gp to 342 and returned the following price of 4 gp in under 1 hour of the change.
- Because this item is rarely sold for a good use, and rarely anybody buys it, it is commonly used on price manipulation (aka, merchanting) jokes.
