It seems you automatically get this beacon (and the quest disappears) if you complete the story chain first.

Not sure why but this quest bugged for me and clicking on the crystal did nothing. Tried abandoning but it also didn't work.

What to do
Description
Hail, friend! Captain Fareeya sent us ahead to secure this area. We were just about to call down a beacon and report back to the Vindicaar. We would be honored if you would help us complete our mission. The signal beacon just needs a light touch. The Grand Artificer will do the rest.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
