Northelm sidequest for Chapter 8 is not currently awarding a Crystal as expected based on this detail that was provided:

I am not able to reproduce the issue but I now have had two individuals confirm that this is the case. Here is a screenshot provided by @ALP (thank you!) to confirm:

I have not seen any reports that the 4th Crystal is available from any of his other non-crystal sidequests (Chapters 4 and 10) so I assume at this time that a complete story playthrough only provides 3 Northelm crystals instead of 4 according to the QoL changes.
