4th Job Advancement Issue with older character

Character is level 100 Chief Bandit.
It was made ages ago.
Never did 4th job advancement.

Ideally, Arec will start the quest, [Job Advancement] The Pinnacle of Strength, which should be accessed by the Maple Mailbox lightbulb at anytime. Once completed, should allow access to [Job Advancement] A True Explorer quest that will advance the job to Shadower.
It is not there.

Checked through available, in-progress and completed quests and neither [Job Advancement] The Pinnacle of Strength nor [Job Advancement] A True Explorer are listed in any where.
So, these quests cannot be started nor forfeited for my character.

Clicking the Maple Guide will show the "Job Advance" button, however it gives the message: "It cannot be used here."
Checked with all the job advancement NPC's, (Dark Lord, Arec and Hellin) and they do not have either [Job Advancement] The Pinnacle of Strength nor [Job Advancement] A True Explorer available.

For the [Job Advancement] A True Explorer quest, you must:
Talk to Hellin in Forest of the Priest.
Obtain 1 Heroic Pentagon from Manon, Herald of Heroes.
Obtain 1 Heroic Pentagon from Griffey Herald of Heroes.
Talk to Hellin again.

Just to test, I have taking out Manon and Griffey multiple times, but neither have dropped the pentagons.
Hellin has zero quests to take currently.

For technical issues, I have logged out and in again, leveled up a few times, completely restarted Maplestory, tested the quests on other characters (it worked fine on them,) yet nothing has changed.

TLDR: Can't get the 4th job advancement quest on character made years ago.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Same here. There's a couple other threads about this as well - we are waiting for an official message from someone higher up to let us know it's being looked at. This is game breaking and unfair to us who spent real money and time on this game.
