Recipe for Disaster
SpecialMembersVery LongOSRS TCG Recipe for Disaster — Old School RuneScape quest card mapping
Start: talk to Cook (Lumbridge).
The cook in Lumbridge has a surprisingly small number of ingredients on hand in his kitchen, possibly as a result of an endless stream of newcomers with light fingers, taking anything that isn't nailed down from his kitchen. Luckily, in the past, a kind Cook's Assistant was willing to help him in his culinary duties, but a problem has now appeared that could spell... a Recipe For Disaster! Almost all members may attempt to solve his tricky predicament, and be rewarded accordingly, but only the very elite of Questers will be able to put an end to his problem permanently!
Recipe for Disaster is a members Old School RuneScape quest rated Special. The OSRS TCG Recipe for Disaster card list covers 46 of the items and monsters involved, including Evil Chicken, Black dragon and Monkey Guard.
