Added coordinates provided by Dusklight, Anewuser, and TobiasAmaranth on their comments.

10x Sacred Phoenix Ash are required (along other items) to buy the Phoenix Ash Talisman from Zektar on the same zone at 52.09 50.48.
/way #542 52.09 50.48 Zektar
The Phoenix Ash Talisman is needed for the turn-in quest Tale of the Phoenix given by Tarjin the Blind at 16.16 62.62 on the western coast of The Waking Shores in exchange for the pet Phoenix Wishwing. /way #2022 16.16 62.62 Tarjin.
/way #2022 16.16 62.62 Tarjin

NOTE: Spires of Arak has a lot of areas that will be phased depending on your quest progress in the zone, if you cannot find Small Pile of Ash complete quests until you start to see stuff change. Zektar becomes visible after the quest The High Ravenspeaker.

The Small Pile of Ash can be seen and looted at level 60.

There are probably more locations that the ones listed, those are just the ones that have been seen.

Comment by Dusklight

Some more locations:

/way 45.1, 15.0
/way 61.9, 42.3

These DO show up with the classic loot sparkles, which makes them much easier to spot. The respawn time doesn't seem to be too bad, or it might be a situation where there are always x number of ashes up at the same time.

Comment by ssj4rwdragoon

Looks like the ash is on a 15 to 30 min respawn timer

Comment by Shidrine

2 question that hopefully someone knows;

Does every cookpot spawn the ash?

Can we loot the cookpots containing ash more that once?

thx!

Comment by Zandjil

As I was looking for my ash, I decided to check for other pots around the zone, as they seem to all spawn inside the pots full of purple liquid.
I compiled a list of all the spots, where I found the pots and the places others have put in comments here.
Not all the pots are confirmed spawn points, so I've put a different description on those.
If you use these, and confirm any of those, pls comment, so I can update it.

This is one of the items you need to get Phoenix Wishwing. I have a step by step video guide on how to get the pet here - https://youtu.be/a_XX5b7P3oY

How to get the pet:

Step 1: Before you start, make sure you have done the Worlds of Draenor campaign quest at least 5/9. You can check from this achievement Between Arak and a Hard Place. You can also confirm this by going to 52,40 in Spires of Arak and check if you can see Zektar. If you can see him, go to step 3. If not, go to step 2.

Step 2: Head over to coordinates 37,18 in the northern part of Spires of Arak and find Azik, who will give you the quest The Shadows of Skettis. Keep doing the quest chain until you are at least five out of nine from the campaign quests, where at that point you will have Anzu give you the quest Cult of the Ravenspeakers. Go through the questline until you get to the quest The High Ravenspeaker, which will take you to visit Zektar and you are now able to purchase items from him. Now that you know you can see Zektar, it’s time to start the grind!

Step 3: To purchase the Phoenix Ash Talisman from Zektar you need one Glittering Phoenix Ember, 20 Inert Phoenix Ash and 10 Sacred Phoenix Ash.
Glittering Phoenix Ember - You can only get this item when the Cataclysm Timewalking is active. Find a raid group for Firelands and defeat Alysrazor, who will drop the Glittering Phoenix Ember for everyone in the raid group. No previous quests are needed to get the item.
Inert Phoenix Ash - This item drops from Scorching Elemental at Fireplume Ridge in the center of Un'Goro Crater. You are going to need 20 of these and unfortunately, the drop rate for this item is pretty low. Ideally you join a group and everyone can loot each other’s mobs. The Scorching Elemental shares its spawns with Living Blaze, so make sure you kill both.
Sacred Phoenix Ash - Head back to Spires of Arak and look around for cookpots around the area, and you will find the Sacred Phoenix Ash inside of the cookpot. These have a respawn timer of between 15 to 30 minutes, so if you don’t really want to be flying around empty cookpots, just sit and wait for the ash to respawn in a cookpot and keep doing this until you have all 10.

Some coordinates for cookpots in the area:
/way #542 37.90 17.92 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 42.08 15.86 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 44.00 13.72 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 44.55 23.34 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 45.10 15.00 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 52.06 31.35 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 52.17 49.97 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 52.20 49.82 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 61.90 42.30 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 68.72 44.49 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 68.76 44.50 Small Pile of Ash

Step 4: Once you have the above items, head back to Zektar and purchase the Phoenix Ash Talisman. This is just one of the items you need for the pet.

Step 5: Next you need to collect 20 Ash Feather and 15 Smoldering Phoenix Ash from the The Waking Shores.
Ash Feather - To see these items, go to Griftah and purchase Ash Feather Amulet. Using this item will give you a 1 hour buff enabling you to see Ash Feather on the ground close to Lava Hatchling and Lava Phoenix.
Smoldering Phoenix Ash - These drop from Lava Hatchling and Lava Phoenix in the The Waking Shores. Item is a bit of a rare drop so be ready to dedicate some time farming these.
Tip: Purchase the Ash Feather Amulet before you start farming the Smoldering Phoenix Ash and collect the Ash feathers at the same time.

Step 6: Once you finally have all the items, that is, 1 Phoenix Ash Talisman, 15 Smoldering Phoenix Ash and 20 Ash Feather, head over to Tarjin the Blind all over to the west side of the The Waking Shores, coordinates 16,62, where he will have a quest called Tale of the Phoenix, which will give you the pet in exchange for the items you collected.

And gratz! You’ve got yourself the Phoenix Wishwing pet!

For those who don't want to use map pins or don't have coordinates, the Sacred Phoenix Ash can be found in the pots of purple smoke. Here is a map that I made and labeled so you can check the locations without coordinates.

Comment by unclevinny

One thing I've noticed about these pots is you shouldn't check for the Ash in a hurry. The hit box is pretty small, so it's easy to hover over the pot and not notice it. (I'm color-impaired, so I guess there could be something I'm missing.)

Comment by Nadalya

Like some others have suggested, I finished farming mine from one cooking pot. To make it easier, I kept my camera angle faced looking down into the pot so I could clearly see when the ash respawned and started to sparkle. I also kept my Interact key set up so I wouldn't have to bother with hovering the mouse over and clicking it before someone else could get it, just be sure to stand close enough to the pot so that it will actually pick it up. The spawn times I saw were between 10-15 min so keep an eye on it pretty regularly. Several other people showed up regardless of me camping so it will still be contested if you're on a high pop server.

Comment by schnizol

This might be an unpopular opinion but... what I did was - log in at 4 AM - fly around pin points - collect 5 ashes - go eat something, watch TV, come back 30 minutes later and get the remaining 5 xD

Comment by Fatcatisback

If you play Outlaw Rogue, the Small Pile of Ash appear on the mini map since outlaw has Find Treasure, dont forget to activate it in the tracking option of the minimap.

Comment by makogurl

Definitely helps to be a hunter - not only for the ranged shots but also for the hunter tracking - elementals.

I killed 262 mobs in around an hour and got:

20 Inert Phoenix Ash
119 Crackling Crystals
22 Heart of Fire
17 Elemental Fire
8 Essence of Fire
3 Living Ember
26 Shimmering Shards
2 Burning Pitch
55 Core of Elements
Gryphonwing Long Bow
Widow Blade of the Fireflash
Bonecaster's Gloves of the Fireflash
Overlinked Chain Belt
Jadefire Sabatons of the Aurora
