Ashes

Ashes are a common item that are produced when a fire burns out. Ashes are used as a Herblore secondary, and are needed in a number of quests. They are commonly discarded, and can often be found where players are lighting fires for Firemaking training. If a player acquires multiple of Old man's message and starts a new task at the Wise Old Man, the duplicates will explode into ashes when attempting to read them.

Ashes can be crushed into ground ashes using a pestle and mortar.

The following money making guide is available for Ashes:

• Used in Prince Ali Rescue to make skin paste.
• Used in and after Shades of Mort'ton to make Serum 207 in combination with a Tarromin potion (unf), to cure Afflicted villagers in Mort'ton.
• Used in Recipe for Disaster Another Cook's Quest to make a dirty blast.
• Used in Desert Treasure I to fix the mirrors.
• Possibly required in "Forgettable Tale..." to obtain a kelda seed from the Rowdy Dwarf.

• Can be crushed with a pestle and mortar to make ground ashes, which are used to dust the character's hands. This is used when throwing a shotput in the Warriors' Guild for better grip.

Ashes can also be obtained by taking a glowing fungus out of the Abandoned Mine.

• Prior to the update that added demonic ashes, most demons dropped regular ashes as remains. Today, the only demons that continue to drop ashes as remains are Nezikchened (Nightmare Zone) and hell-rats.
