About Volcanic ash

"One of the ingredients for making ultra compost."

Volcanic ash is a members-only mining-skilling resource gathered from ash piles on Fossil Island. It is the primary catalyst for upgrading supercompost into ultracompost and powers the Fertile Soil Lunar spell, making it a staple input for high-yield Farming runs.
