Dimension of Disaster

Dimension of Disaster is RuneScape's 200th quest. It features an where the player character never existed, changing the course of history in Gielinor. It has no requirements to start, and is based in alternate Varrock. It consists of five subquests similarly to Recipe for Disaster. These include an introductory quest and "twisted" versions of existing quests, namely Shield of Arrav, Demon Slayer, Defender of Varrock and The Curse of Arrav, with the latter requiring completion of all the former to start.

Players cannot bring any of their own items into the quest, and there is not a bank or Grand Exchange, meaning players will have to create or purchase their own equipment to complete the quest. Like Broken Home, it is replayable, with some additional rewards available for doing so.

Official description
Have you ever stopped to think what would happen if you did not exist? In a pocket dimension of Varrock - an alternate reality - you were never born, the Sixth Age never happened, and the villains you would have defeated rule with impunity.

In this reality, Varrock has suffered greatly over the past year; its citizens massacred when the demon Delrith was summoned by Denath. Shortly thereafter, the city was conquered by the Mahjarrat necromancer Zemouregal's horde of armoured zombies.

Zemouregal has since corralled Delrith behind a demonic ward in the south-east corner of the city, and raised any Varrock citizens who are still reasonably intact as zombies.

Can you find your way into this dimension and overthrow the villains once more?

Subquest 1: Coin of the Realm
First start the quest by talking to the Gypsy Aris in the South-West section of Varrock Square. You will need 1 gold coin in order to have your fortune told. After she does that you will get a coin and you will want to interact with it. When you interact with the coin a menu will pop up. Select flip coin, and the coin will change. Talk to Gypsy Aris again, and she will tell you to throw it in the fountain in Varrock square. When you throw it in the fountain a portal will open up. Step in the portal, and you will be teleported to New Varrock. When you appear in New Varrock there is more talking you have to do. After you are done talking the first part is done.

Rewards

 * Access to New Varrock and the Dimension of Disaster subquests
 * 10 zemomarks

A Guide to New Varrock
The rest of the quest takes place in New Varrock, an alternate version of Varrock under the control of the Mahjarrat Zemouregal. It is wholly separate from the rest of the game, and you cannot bring any items in. Thus, you will need to obtain new armour and weapons from around the area. You will have to make most items yourself, either using items gathered or bought in shops with zemomarks, the currency of New Varrock.

Obtaining Zemomarks
Zemomarks can be obtained by completing tasks, quests and selling things to shops. A good way to get some Zemomarks early on is to claim some free runes from Aubury and free arrows and bolts from Lowe and sell them to the general store for 690 Zemomarks in total.

If you have Level 29 Crafting, then another way to make money is by killing the cows just east of east bank and taking the hide to the tanner south of the west bank. Tan the hides to hard leather, and craft them into shields. You can get the thread from Zaff who owns the staff shop or the tanner himself, and they will sell for 71 each at the general store.

If you have a higher level of crafting ( 58+ optimal ) you can buy one of each type of gems from the gemstall just outside the general store and make them into bracelets at the furnace south of the west bank to gain 1500+ Zemomarks.

Subquests
Four subquests must be found and completed within New Varrock in order to finish the quest.

Return to Varrock
After completing The Curse of Arrav, you will be returned to standard Varrock. Speak to Gypsy Aris, and she will tell you some statistics about things you did in the quest, and give you some additional rewards.

Trivia

 * The quest's location and the inclusion of twisted Shield of Arrav were the result of two Player Power polls.
 * Gertrude's Cat also won the same Player Power poll, but was added to a task set unique to alternate Varrock. It was originally supposed to be it's own quest, but lack of time (and connection to the main storyline) prevented this from happening.
 * Other titles for the quest included The Edge of Disaster, Nothing Interesting Happens, City of Villains and A World without Heroes, while New Varrock's originally suggested names were all based on Zemouregal's name.[[File:DoDGypsy.jpeg]]
 * Meg, being a reference to Family Guy is locked in a cage. Her examine " For the first four years of my life, my parents thought I was a housecat "is a quote from the episode Lethal Weapons.
 * When the Tramp throws a tomato at Meg, there is a chance he will yell "shut up Meg" which is a direct quote from the T.V. show - Family Guy.
