I am trying to do the quest "Trader in the Forest", but I cannot give Phairet the supply order in order to get the batagreens that I need. Every time I talk to him he just says, "What? I've never seen your face before. Now get going!"

Is there some step between getting the order and going to his tower at the south end of Ronfaure that I have missed or is the quest genuinely bugged right now?

Has this been figured out yet? Is The Trader in the Forest in your quest log? Maybe try dropping the supply order and do it over again.
