FYI: you get an item upon starting the quest (Death God Mask); use the item to highlight the footprints you need to follow.

Don't bother trying to see the footprints, I don't even know what they look like. Just use the waypoint and make your way to the spot. The quest item on the ground is thankfully easier to see.

This is really poorly explained. Starting near the husk of Hakkar you need to follow the footsteps to Tirna Noch. The footsteps are quite hard to see, they are dark on a dark and uneven ground with a slight sparkle to them. Hopefully they will make them more visible before this goes live.
Credit to Vakun on the beta forums who made a post about this as I couldn't find the footsteps until I read his description of what they looked like.

Description

I got a bad feelin' about dis, mon. Wildseeds don't just go missing... especially da kind wit' powerful loa in dem! Even da bad eggs like Hakkar and Dambala be protected by da Winter Queen. Someone... or someting... must be stealin' dem! But why? Dey weren't even ready ta be reborn... Search da area and see if ya can pick up da trail. Missing loa be bad for business... and Bwonsamdi be in enough trouble wit' da boss already!

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.
