Techsmith of Gond Question

I am relatively new to the server and I have a question about the Techsmith of Gond class. Are there any classes that will bar you from becoming a Techsmith?
I know that you can't take Ranger, Druid or have Animal Domain (which you shouldn't have anyway). However, the character I'm building can't seem to take Techsmith at all. I tried to take a Techsmith level at level 11, but it was still grayed out and would not let me select it.
Here is a link to the build I've been using so far:

Per my build, I already hit level 4 spell casting (with Master Alchemist levels) and I should have all of the required skills and feats. Do you actually need all 3 Skill Focus feats?
Thank you in advance.

Can you cast level 4 spells yet? Just at a glance (and I'm not the world's best builder, so I may be off base here), it looks like you don't have level 4 spells until you're level 12?
I think the earliest you could take Techsmith, per your build, would be level 13. But here's the class description from the wiki if you haven't seen it here yet?:

I can cast 4th level spells. I was able to cast them at level 10, so there shouldn't have been any issue with taking Techsmith at 11.
Clerics reach 4th level spell casting at level 7. Having 4 levels of cleric and 3 levels of Master Alchemist fits those requirements.

You can tell it's been a while since I've played the game, and not just worked on it.
Looking at your build, you do appear to meet the prerequisites. Have you tried relogging before taking the level? If that doesn't work, you may want to grab a DM to help you try to troubleshoot your build. Unless anyone else is also having trouble with techsmith? In which case we may need to take it to Dev side through QC.

Just as a heads up for others with this difficulty, Techsmith currently requires 7 levels of Cleric before you can get the Techsmith Qualification feat (which lets you take Techsmith as a class).

Valefort looked at the class and did, in fact, find that there's an issue with it. It should be fixed the next time we have a server update.
