Gold Richie’s Safe Round 1 Make-Up for Luna



Hi Maplers, 

During the Gold Richie’s Safe event, running from July 3, 2024 - July 30, 2024, there was an issue that prevented players in Luna from participating in Round 1 of the event on July 3, 2024.

To make up for the missed opportunity during the first round, we will be randomly selecting 20 Gold and 10 Diamond winners in Luna after the final round of Gold Richie’s Safe event. Only players who participate in the final round on July 30, 2024 will be eligible for selection.

Once the winners have been chosen, we will update this post with the list of winners along with how the Round 1 rewards will be distributed.

We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused and appreciate your understanding and continued support.

Thank you,

The MapleStory Team
