Acorns are scattered around base of the tree in the middle of Ruby Dragonshrine. Bodies are around the outside of the area. Very fast respawn rate on acorns.

Gather Ruby Acorn around 48,47 and use on the dead Ruby Keepers

Comment by nektroman

This quest does (just like the other quest in this chain) require lvl 71, not 73 as stated on wowhead.

Edit: Fixed.

Comment by Agrue

The acorns can also be found in the groups of red plants on the ground, which are often next to the dead Ruby Keepers.

Pretty straightforward quest. A little tip for hunters, you can track the dead dragons with Track Dragonkin.

This quest can be compleated by both factions

Comment by Shortzo

The particle attachments for the dead drakes are several sizes too large in the latest patch. You have to run to the heart of a blazing inferno just to use the item, and then your entire world will be overtaken by entangling roots.

Warning!: If you're only out to grind rep with the Kirin Tor, only follow this chain until you get to The End of the Line Otherwise you'll be wasting youre time grinding rep with The Wyrmrest Accord and one for Warsong Offensive.

Comment by Takata

the acorns look a bit like red glowing leaves, the dragons are burning corpses. Unlike other quests however you not only have to target the bodies but be near them as possible for the acorns to work on them.

I don't know if they removed the sparkle since WoD or what, but the acorns are really hard to see now, look closely on the ground for things that look more like red crystals with no outline or anything,

Turning my UI off (Alt+Z was my default) enabled the quest item identifier on the seeds. Try turning that off and see if sparkles start to pop up around the base of the tree.

I'm not sure if this will work for everyone, but without the sparkle these seeds are incredibly difficult to spot. Before switching off the UI, I was convinced I was looking in the wrong spot or the quest was broken.

At first I had difficulty but then I found the acorns easily by circling the perimeter of the crater.

Return to the Earth

Enter the Ruby Dragonshrine through the southern pass and search for Ruby Acorns. Use the Ruby Acorns on the fallen red dragons to return their bodies to the earth. Return to Vargastrasz once the task is complete.

	Ruby Keeper Returned to the Earth (6)

Description

I have another task that needs attention. I have brothers who are falling in the battle overhead and if we do not act quickly, they will only bolster the emberwyrm ranks.

Get into the shrine through the pass in the south... the Scourge presence should be lighter there.

Search the shrine for ruby acorns that have fallen from the tree and plant them near the bodies of my fallen brood. Through this, they can give new life... a proud fate for any of my kind.
