The Velium Focus
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=931
"The Velium Focus - Cannot complete - The Hole Unavailable on beta " The groundspawns for The Hole + Burning Woods are not there. The crystal of purest iron is in Burning Woods. It's sitting on the meteor near Slixin Klex. It's item description is "Heavy Metallic Crystal" and is magic, lore, and no drop. It weighs 14.0. Also the groundspawn for the Hole is not classic, as if you read through the alla thread listed above it gets moved from Splitpaw to the hole when paw gets revamped. "The Beryl crystal is in Split Paw. If 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 item description is "Reddish Crystal" and it's also magic, lore, and no drop. It weighs 10.0. It identifies as "Beryl for the Menhir". (posted 14 dec 2000) Which then gets moved to p695 n1 n34 within a month or so. It's by a stalacmite near drop down to ishva area which corresponds to the lore of these crystals: "Phenocryst's thoughts flood your mind, 'Thank you Harbinger. We need 3 crystals. One of Beryl, one of Stibnite, and one of the purest Iron. These minerals will only be found deep within the earth where the geology is relatively stable." Anyway I checked both Hole and Paw (both locations in paw) nothing there, and semiafk camped the BW spawn incase someone had just picked it before I arrived for over 2 hours and nohting. The GD spawn in the wurm caves is there. For reference I only used the info on allaz. Also went to test the crystal hand ins on the beta server but the gnomes have gone[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

Regarding the burning wood spawn, as that's the one I've been concentrating on. It is not spawning. Or not spawning where it's supposed to spawn.
According to a reply on allaz the " Loc of BW stone is n850 n1180 " which places it directly near an edge of the meteor itself. I looked on live and the loc is correct. With a respawn of 2 hours. And a weight of 40 ( this is different to the p99 wiki) It is not spawning on p99 blue at that loc or anywhere on the meteor. | ||

From a January 2001 walkthrough on Graffe. The javascript isn't working, but you can see the text via "View Source" in your browser.

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. | ||

Except it's not spawning (burning wood atleast) I've done two 2 hour sessions plus random logging ins for x amount of time and not seen it (I've been told by someone else that camped there that they've not seen it either) I did one 2 hour session on live and saw it twice.
I'm sitting in paw now will give it another 2 hours (on the slim offchance that someone just looted it) I really don't expect to see it. I'm confused. It is marked as a 2hour respawn same as live? | ||

It seems there is an issue with ground spawns on the live server. This works fine on my development server, so we need to investigate it further.
