The Beryl crystal is in Split Paw. Apparently, this crystal can spawn in a few
different places within Paw. The easiest one is found when you enter Split
Paw and walk just until you reach the first open room, it's in there on the
floor at location 0,0 pretty much. It's not so much a room as it is an open
patch in the hallway with straw on the floor. Two gnolls spawn here on either
side of the room. The spawn time here is probably the same. The second place
known for it to spawn is behind onf of the stone pillars near the entrance
of the underwater tunnel leading to the Ishva area (+690, -17). The item is called a Reddish
Crystal and it's also magic, lore, and no drop. It weighs 10.0. It identifies
as "Beryl for the Menhir".

The crystal of purest iron is in Burning Woods. It's sitting on the bottoem edge
of the crashed meteor near Slixin Klex. It's item description is Heavy
Metallic Crystal" and is magic, lore, and no drop. It weighs 14.0.

Take these three crystals and the Elbaite Focus back to Wakening Lands to Phenocryst
and you're ready for the next step. Get 1-2 parties of 50+ players and bring
'em with you. Due to the dragon that spawns in Wakening Land near the dragon
portal, you might want to approach from skyshrine. If you're going along the
wall from skyshrine towards the caves, you want to gather your troops at the
second cave entrance along the wall. Phenocryst is closest to that entrance.
Get to know the path between you and him at this point so you're familiar
with how to get out in a hurry. At this point, all the geonids should con
amiable to you. Finishing the Velium Focus section achieves this faction adjustment.
Make sure you have a ranger in your party of friends. You're going to have
to track down some triggered MOBs and fight them. You submit the items to
Phenocryst.

I think the graffe writer is probably wrong. Makes sense to me that they moved the spawn location; as eveyone entering paw would generally pick the thing up all the time making it real hard to continue the quest.

"There is a new location for the red crystal.
It is still in paw. But not near the doorway. "

"Yep. Specifically it spawns on the leftmost island next to the pool that has the underwater tunnel leading to the Ishva Mal area. It spawns behind the island. "

"Well, apparently Verant decided to change the location that this thing spawns in. It no longer spawns at LOC 0,0 in splitpaw, it is now spawning behind a pillar right near where you go underwater to get to the Ishva. "

I rechecked paw, no sign there of the spawn.
