The seed of earth is easy enough, you get it by talking to Onu, the ent, in the camp where you got the quest.
For the seed of the sky, you have to 'catch' one of the small wisps flying around the forest nearby. They can be quite hard to get, but once one of them flies low to the ground, loot it
For the seed of the sea, you obviously have to go down to the sea, and dive in. It can be picked up from one of the seashells in the sand (a crawler-thing will emerge as well, and you will have to kill it)

I highly recommend finding a wisp circling a tree, so if you miss it, it will be right back. Not entirely sure about the coords, but I believe it was west of the lake, got it pretty fast and easy. I also recommend disabling click-to-move if it's on.

Description

Something is trying to devour the life of Darkshore from within! I'll ask around to learn more about the - thing - you discovered in the lake. Meanwhile, we need to protect the local wildlife from further harm. Can you gather some materials for me? I'll need life in all its incarnations. Talk to Onu here in the grove to acquire a Seed of the Earth. Capture a Darkshore Wisp floating amongst the trees and we'll have a Seed of the Sky. Find a Seed of the Sea within seashells along the coast, west of here.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • ConsumedDarkshore · Level 5-30

    My first concern right now is for the thistle bear families who call what's left of these woods home. Just to our south, beyond the bear shrine, an entire generation has fallen ill. Gruesomely ill. <name>, I don't know what they're suffering from, but it's consumed them from within.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • An Ounce of PreventionDarkshore · Level 5-30

    Are you familiar with the Old Ones, <name>? Onu and I agree that the artifact you found in the lake can only be their work, and it's devouring Darkshore. Something is stirring up terrors we thought dead long ago. This is bigger than you or me, but my first concern is protecting the wildlife.
