Seems to be bugged.
Can gain the quest and see the yellow quest marker but unable to see Barnaby due to phasing.

Description
A strange fellow in a pointy hat showed up this morning trying to sell some kinda special seeds. Claimed they were magic. I welcome a little competition - business is business, after all - but this gentleman had a certain... shabby look to him. Oh, and he stunk somethin' FIERCE. Would you check up on him, just to make sure he's on the level? He's over there by Jian Ironpaw, making a meal out of the samples.
