Third V skill on recently advanced characters?

I'm wondering if anyone who advanced their character AFTER the Labyrinth patch got all 3 skills in their V Matrix.

I trained up a couple characters to 200 with the intent to advance all of them once all 3 skills become available, to avoid wasting nodestones crafting skills on mules. When I advanced, I only got the first 2 skills, not even the New Power quest.

The reason I'm not posting this in the Bug Reports section is because I don't know if it's because it's an actual glitch that everyone is having or if it's just because I started the advancement quests several weeks ago, before the Black Mage updates even started.

Ignoring the New Power quest, Do characters that advance after the Labyrinth patch get all three skills DURING THE ADVANCEMENT at this moment?

    I'm assuming you get it at the point where you originally got the first job node back when V job was released. Did you only get like 1/2 out of the 3 job nodes or have you not gotten any yet?

    I got the first two skills when I advanced. I did not get the third skill. I'm asking if the change to get all 3 skills during the advancement was implemented yet or not.

    Only got the first 2 on my Dark Knight I advanced.

    Was actually hoping we were also getting the 2nd skill free too for previously advanced characters. I had gotten my AB to 200 maybe a couple months ago but didn't get spotlight. Ended up opening 100 nodes but still didn't get it :(

    I was under the impression it would give you a node for each one you were missing. I think Nexon dropped the ball on this one.

    "It has been changed to give out all of the job-exclusive Skill Nodes, including these new 5th Job Skill Nodes, when advancing to the 5th Job."

    It states right in the newest patch notes, under the entire list of skills, that you are supposed to unlock these for free once advancing. My husband just did his 5th job, and only got the first two as well. So clearly there is something wrong here. I'm not sure if there is a severe amount of communication error here, or just an overall bug.

    Perhaps this is intended for characters created AFTER this patch? Perhaps it is bugged outright?

    I do know that having the quest accepted prior to this patch isn't a cause, as my husband was not even 200 before this patch.

    Hopefully they will look into this matter if attention is brought to it, as I assume it is very frustrating.

    Mb, after reading other forum threads and the patch memo, realized that it's bugged on Nexon's end. (And upon going back, realized that I didn't clearly read your original post either, apologies.)

    I did a variety of characters and what I think is happening is that if you have done your 5th job advancement and gotten the first 2 skills, it bugs out and won't give the 3rd. If your character had advanced before Nexon gave the 2nd skill in the advancement process you'll get the 3rd skill from the new quest, but not the 2nd.
