New Varrock is the main city in Dimension of Disaster. It is an alternate universe in which Varrock has been taken over by Zemouregal and the adventurer may complete twisted versions of various quests already performed in the normal city of Varrock.

You cannot leave the city through by any means other than the fountain located in Varrock Square.

Transportation

You must have started the Dimension of Disaster quest to first gain access to the city. Upon starting the quest, Gypsy Aris will give you a coin which transforms upon investigation. This special double-sided coin must be used on the fountain at the center square of Varrock, in order to throw the coin into the fountain, which opens a portal through which you can enter New Varrock. The double-sided coin will disappear after the first use, yet the portal will remain. You must have banked all of your items, except for your double-sided coin on your first entry, to enter New Varrock.

Commerce

The gold currency has been replaced by the Zemomark, a new unit of currency introduced by Zemouregal. 10 Zemomarks are received upon first entry to New Varrock. Zemomarks may also be earned by various activities completed around New Varrock, such as completing quests, completing tasks on the New Varrock tasks list, selling items, and stealing loot.

The Grand Exchange is not available for use in New Varrock. Players can exchange items with other players through free trade. While gold cannot be used in New Varrock, it can be traded with other players. Zamomarks can also be traded with other players. Drops by players may be picked up by anyone as usual.

Banks cannot be used for holding equipment in New Varrock. As New Varrock is a safe area, all items including all Zemomarks are kept upon death.

Castle

The entrance to Zemouregal's palace.

This castle is now Zemouregal's castle. The warped versions of Defender of Varrock and Curse of Arrav start here. In the middle of the castle stands a Bloodwood tree which cannot be cut. The staircases in the south-eastern area of the castle takes you up to the 1^st2^nd floor^[UK].

The castle has been greatly changed, as the outer walls have been torn down, the jail section, most of the stairs, and the room above Reldo's libary in the actual castle has been replaced or removed. Zemouregal has changed Reldo's libary into his throne room, moving it to western wing of the castle. He also has a treasure room which contains various items, such as the Raptor's armour and a stuffed Wise Old Man, suggesting that he had beat them in combat.

Outside the castle is a small group of New Varrock guards and a New Varrock Captain.

Gates

The gates of New Varrock are guarded by three New Varrock guards and one New Varrock captain. They can be attacked, and drop valuable items such as coal, studs and spider silk.

Pillories

The pillories of New Varrock are crowded, and like the real Varrock, there are three of them. This time, Meg, Hazelmere and Pauline Polaris are in them. Talking to them results in some humorous dialogue.

Cow Pen

East of the East Varrock Bank, zombie cows can be found. They can be killed for zombie cowhides and raw undead beef.

Banks

You cannot use the banks in the city, as the Skeleton clerk tells you that they "no longer serve the fleshy folk". The banks now serve Zemouregal and hold his inventory. There are also no other bankers available, and they do not provide the healing effect banks normally give. Banks are used in the subquests that are part of the Dimension of Disaster series.  

Church

You may pray at the altar in the Church nearest to the Museum to restore prayer points. However, upon exiting the Church, Zemouregal drains all your prayer points, rendering your prayer points restoration at the altar useless.   

Sewers

The sewers cannot be used, as Zaff tells the player that during Zemouregal's invasion, Naff tried to escape down the sewers, but was killed by the monsters from Tolna's Rift.

Trivia

• Players cannot summon pets, as doing so results in a message saying that "non-citizens" cannot use summoning familiars and pets.
• According to the Spirit of the Mind, New Varrock has been though various names, including "Delrith's Despair", "Zemoria," Tafkav", "Arrav's Folly" and most recently, "Zemouregal Town."
  • Tafkav is a reference to TAFKAP, short for "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince". Knowing this, it is likely that Tafkav is an acronym for "The Area Formerly Known As Varrock".
