Welcome to the very first Tria Tribune! This periodic magazine is our way to open up the world of MapleStory 2, delving into community contests, tips for newer players, interviews with your favorite MapleStory 2 characters and what's been going on in Maple World!



In the latter half of June, Kyrios issued a challenge to the veterans of MapleStory 2: Give newer players a leg up by crafting a guide to one of MapleStory 2's many features. The community came through and then some, creating dozens of guides that you can peruse on the Player Guides forums, including explorations on Awakened Classes, Housing Tips, Mini-Game Guides and more!

Four guides were selected as the best of the best, and you can check them out below!





Synkido from NA West takes on a full, detailed look at everything to do with upgrading and socketing gemstones, so that you can get the most out of your accessories. Take a look at the guide to boost your gemstones!





Cynna from NA East unleashes the fashionista in all of us to go into the many ways you can find new outfits to give your character a unique look. Get your own special look with the Fashionista's Guide today!





Sanitee from NA West took on the first three Guild Raids, explaining the challenges of each raid and the best ways to overcome them for pride, glory and sweet loot. Check out the guide in full and get your guild ready to fight!





And last but not least, Remitar from NA West spins to win with an incredibly in-depth guide to everything you need to know about the Berserker class. Grab the biggest sword you can find and check out the guide to learn how to use it!



Delving into a new dungeon for the first time can be an intimidating experience, even for the most veteran MMORPG player. With the Skilled Ally Update, we added a Dungeon Helper System, to allow newer players to seek out help from those that have been playing MapleStory 2 for a long time and know the dungeons inside and out. If you need a bit of a hand to figure out that dungeon, just click on the "Get Help" button from the Dungeon Directory (default keybind: ';' ).



You can seek out help for any dungeon you have completed less than 10 times, even encounters such as Chaos Raids, Eye of Lapenta, and Cathy Mart! And don't worry about imposing on the veterans, because they get a special set of rewards for lending you a hand!



We here at the Tria Tribune got a special opportunity to catch up with Ophelia!

Tria Tribune: Hello, Ophelia! Thank you for speaking to us, how are y-

Ophelia: How am I? I'm angry, that's what I am! Do you know what they did to me?!

T: Uh, no? Sorry, is something wr-

Ophelia: Do you have any idea how great I had it? Only game in town, complete control of all of the Enchanting, and then somebody had to go and show Peachy how to do the job right!

T: We, uh, we have some questions... are you enjoying any good restauran-

Ophelia: People were praying to me! They were begging me! Now a third of my customers have run off to that pretender and I'm suppose to act like it's no big deal?

T: Well, it was a little unfair-

Ophelia: Unfair?! Who cares about fair? Fair doesn't keep me swimming in Onyx Crystals! I swear, if I ever find this LAMBCOOK I'm going to show him what I really think of his 'New Leaf' cr-

T: WellthankyouverymuchOpheliaI'mafraidthat'sallthetimewehave!





MapleStory 2 has tons of talented artists, sharing their creations both through UGCs and through fan art. Many have also submitted their art works to the MapleStory team, and for the last few months we have been showing off their gorgeous works with the bi-weekly Art Corner posts. If you'd like your own creations featured, submit your creations and keep an eye out in the next Art Corner!

You can see all of this month's excellent artistry with the July 11th Art Corner and the July 25th Art Corner posts!
