I admit after having done the quest 2 other times, I broke down with my 3rd character and bought ashes. They DID work for me though, but it's weird because your journal won't update if you buy them. AFTER you recieve the quest, buy the ashes, then go and talk to the Duke as if you were trying to recieve the reward. As soon as you talk to him a ! will appear over his head, your journal will update, and he will offer the reward.

I got the quest then did a mission -- I think it was "Ruins of Surmia". It's the one in which you follow Ember Bearers for the bonus.

Anyway, a party member dropped Ashes on the ground.

I picked the Ashes up, and I got the

Quest Updated: Althea's Ashes

text.

I went to Duke to see if I had finished the quest, and it turned out that I had.

Easiest 2k xp I've ever gotten.

I also thought this was a scam, and it may have been, and may be again. My experience was this. I completed the quest with one character, and 4 ashes stayed in his inventory. I had 2 other level 12 characters, both of whom had the ashes quest. They had done the first part. I transferred the ashes to storage then the other characters picked them up, which completed their quest. They talked to the Duke and Presto. If this worked for my alts, I presume it may work for some other people via trade first. This may have been a new bug introduced recently. Don't know.
