Jack Barricade's Clues

It says Christopher mastered four jobs, yet the statue has a gun. Were pirates known in Crimsonheart's time? I thought they just recently came to Victoria...? I know Lukan would have no knowledge of pirates either though, considering he's from the past.

Also, with nothing to do with the above:
Wasn't there once a mistakenly placed World Map of Amoria with the Dragon Clan door in the middle of it?

Let's not forget there were Pirates back in the time of Altair Camp , and Pirates hadn't just shot up out of nowhere and are a completely new job- Pirates had existed, disappeared, and re-appeared on Victoria Island (Can anyone quite re-call the text that had said this?).

I'm definitely sure 1,000 years ago; the time of the disappearance; was well before the time of Elin Forest and before the event we know as Kyrin and the Pirates traveling to track and hunt down the Black Magician; so there really isn't much of an excuse to have ever been missing Pirates.

I have no idea how Nexon plans to work with this little nasty plot hole >.>

Speaking of plot, I've got a feeling that change in our version of Dr. De Lang's notes booklet thing may come into play eventually and we'll have to play with that fact with regard to future hints on the Chronicles of Masteria thread.

For those of you hypothesizing about a Crimsonwood Keep Gacha,

Will there be a gachapon machine in crimsonwood/a unique gachapon for it?

No new Gacha.

It'd seem Slip's thread is missing a significant chunk of Q&A that happened in August O-O
-------------------------
Now, I wrote this thing on another thread, and I'd like to present it here:

My guesses for what the Party Quest's interactive-storyline, given in mind it could be a "gradual effort that's said to make things better but never really does" or a "temporary solution where the problem isn't resolved and may return to be able to stop again, but the story can move on" is that you stall/temporarily stop the attack on New Leaf City sounds like an objective or the whole thing in it's entirety. With that in mind, here's what I'm going to guess-

• The boss really COULD be the 4 Twisted Masters; though you don't quite kill them but defeat them to get them and the troops to delay their plan by having targeted the leader and causing a temporary halt, yet they still hold control.
  
• You don't even see the 4 Twisted Masters- at all; it really could just be stopping the onslaught of the Versalian soldiers with a few nasty bosses at their disposal.
  
• Interestingly, here's one theory possibly involving the either of the above: what if your objective- in addition to stalling the troops, was to "weaken" the Versalians' control over the Keep with something- ending with a "it helped" and could move on in the story; however, it doesn't truly resolve out.
