Lvl 4 weapon quest bug

[Adrillf]

I'm doing the lvl 4 weapon quest- first time I've ever done it because I honestly don't need any of the lvl 4 weapons for my prof. http://irowiki.org/wiki/Level_4_Weapons_%28Type_1%29

The problem is as follows.

I've done the language quest for umbala.
I have all of the stones ready for a slaughter
30 lvl 4 stones
10 gold
50 steel
10 emp
I talk to the NPC in Umbala and instead of starting the quest for me he instead says, "Hmm... I feel something strange from you. I regret to say that there is nothing I can do for you. I hope you have a safe travel."

No matter how many times I click on him, or what I do, the guy never starts the quest for me.

Suggestions? Help?
