If you do not complete this quest before you do the 'Traitor' quest, the replacement NPC will *not* accept the items. You have to drop the old quests and get the new ones: Crime and Punishment.
So you're doing this in mop remix and wondering why tf doesn't the turn in NPC let you complete the quests. Apparently you can't turn in both "Crime and Punishment" and Better With Age at the same time. You have to first do "Crime and Punishment". Turn it in. THEN pickup and do Better With Age. Can't do both quests at once.

What to do
Description
The Stinging Trail nurtures young Kypari trees. The empress drains the saplings too early, outsider. They must grow before the amber can be taken. The Klaxxi'va demand punishment for this crime! It will please them if you rain death on the Ik'thik harvesters.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Extending Our Coverage
The Klaxxi'va hear another paragon. His cries are weak and lost in darkness. The signal must be strengthened. There is a tower in Amberglow Hollow that has been silent for many years. It must sing; the Klaxxi demand it! This time I will go with you. You will help me repair it.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Better With Age
It is a crime to harvest the young trees, but a much bigger crime to waste the amber. Young amber is not as strong, but the Klaxxi need it to continue the fight. We will bring them more and they will sing my praises! Gather the young amber. We will store it until it is aged and can be consumed.
