Ashes

Ashes appear when a fire burns out or by picking the White lily. They look like mined clay except that they are white and clay in contrast, is tan. They have limited uses in RuneScape.

Uses

 * They are used in the Prince Ali Rescue, Shades of Mort'ton, 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.
 * They are used as food for the Phoenix eggling and the Abyssal minion.
 * Used with the Phoenix familiar's scroll, Rise from the ashes, to activate its special move. (To use the special move, the ashes must be on the ground.)

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 a higher price. They can be commonly collected just off the ground around the Grand Exchange or near the Draynor bank left over from players training their Firemaking.
 * Some players collect ashes at the Grand Exchange (there are many players burning logs), instead of buying and burning the logs themselves. There have been numerous reports of players (almost always with a combat level of 3) using bots to pick up ashes at the Grand Exchange.
 * During the Draynor Bank Robbery, the victims dropped ashes when the Wise Old Man killed them.
 * On 7 August 2009 the price changed from 3 coins to 342 coins overnight, an increase of just over 11000%. The price then dropped to 4 coins after less than one hour of the change.
 * A fake Abyssal whip can be obtained from an Abyssal minion which will turn to ash when equipped.
 * Ashes and logs have similar Grand Exchange prices.
 * Before 15 February 2011 demons, imps and fiends would drop ashes as a 100% drop, but they were replaced with impious ashes, accursed ashes and infernal ashes on that date.
