Unless you have great reflexes, it takes a bit of time to manage to "tap" one of these, so that you can loot it, before the Southshore guards bring them down, but if you do you'll be rewarded with a quest https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=3668 !

Commentaire de Thottbot

you mean im the first person with thottbot to get loot from them? got a black silk bag pattern..

Commentaire de Thottbot

anyone got an idea of where this assassin is hiding, is he part of a quest, placeholder or just a random spawn?

Commentaire de Thottbot

I was fishing under the dock at Soutshore (where the two boats are) and was attacked by two Shadowy Assassins. Unfortunately, they outleveled me and I got my butt kicked.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Every time I get attacked by one of these guys, it's in the middle of Southshore and the guards run up, so I don't get to loot him (or her, or them). I wish they'd attack me out in the middle of nowhere so I could at least get something out of it.

Commentaire de Thottbot

These drop (or can drop) a quest.. it appears they were sent to assassinate the magistrate, and they carry a note, which you can then give to the magistrate for another quest. I am not sure how often they spawn, though.

I got the note the first time I killed them, so i am not sure whether the drop percentage is 100% or lower. Of course, finding these guys and getting them before guards jump in is part of the trouble, either way.

Commentaire de Thottbot

These guys attacked me right after i had handed another quest to the magistrate. It might be easier to get the drop this way since there's no guards that come and kill them.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I found 6 of them right behind the building the magistrate is in, they are stealthed and stand between these large trees that are behind he main building of southshore.

This is a timed/scripted event, it starts with the Southshore Crier running into Southshore (form Tarren's Mill direction) and yelling: "Help me! Help! Assassins in the Hills! To arms! To arms!"
Then Southshore Guard says: "Go to your posts! Let no invader reach Southshore!" and "Anyone suspicous is to be taken down quickly. Get to your posts as quickly as possible" Even if you miss this part with all the yelling, you can still figure out if the Assassins are about if you just take a look a the guards. While this event is active, almost all guards around Southshore are doubled, so if you see many more than usual guards patrolling, then the assassins are near. They try to sneak into Southshore and some are just waiting around SS.

These guys drop a quest, but to get the "assassin's contract" that they drop, you have to be able to loot one of their bodies. So when you find them, you MUST get in the first hit before any other player or Southshore guard hits them.

When they die, they will instantly reappear somewhere in Southshore. There are 2 of them together. They will be stealthed, so you have to be right on top of them to see them. Usually they're around back of one of the buildings in Southshore. If they appear in the middle of the street, usually the guards kill them right away.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I cant find them even, im not getting anything on traking hidden are they realy that hard to find. I thought I would atleast find a corps...

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I've never seen these guys on my warrior or my mage, but now my Rogue is level 29 and I've finished the ravenholdt quests and they are just following me around SS popping out randomly, anyone know why they do?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I was walking into the inn to go to the Chef for the Turtle Quest when I noticed I was being hit.

How odd I thought then I it dawned on me

"I WAS BEING HIT!"

I stepped back to discover 2 Shadowy Assassins, quickly whistled my pet and wiped out one and the guards destroyed the other one.

I looted the contract and noticed the yellow dot appear behind me.

750 XP on the hand in - Not bad.

I've parked my char behind Magistrat Henry Maleb's building and around 7 AM on Bloodsail Buccaneers server, the Assassin des ténèbress spawned.

To confirm SMKpaladin's comment, the guards were doubled at that time.

Commentaire de Scarletmage

Logged in while the event was happening. I didn't deal enough damage to get the loot rights to either of the assassins in the centre of Southshore. However, some commenters said there are others that spawn and are stealthed around Southshore, so I checked behind Magistrate Maleb's building, nothing, but as I was coming around the building (going anti-clockwise / between Maleb's building and the murloc beach) I found two stealthed shadowy assassins waiting to the left of the entrance to the building and i managed to get the loot rights to one and got the quest.

I also found two more pairs of assassins at the harbour and at the graveyard.

I've been logging on after work and waiting in southshore from 7:45pm to 9:00pm local time (8:45pm to 10pm realm time, Pyrewood Village) for the last three nights.

This happened as I logged on at 8pm, pretty much on the dot.

I'd recommend waiting in southshore and doing something else like studying.

Commentaire de Eipmul

Just found a 2 of these shadowy assassins between the river/cow pen on the north eastern side of southshore at 4:45pm server time, was running around southshore in circles on my level 60 druid trying to find them

judging by the timing, their spawn seems to be random, so if you are after them, you just have to run around and hopefully get lucky!

Holy #$%^, alright so. After going thru literally every page that has to do with this quest, (the item itself, the NPCs, ect) Both classic and retail versions to see all comments (can't see comments past BC on classic version and can't see classic/other website comments on retail versions of the pages) I can, with 100% confidence, say that we, as a community, even after 16+ years, have 0 info on this item other than the fact that it EXISTS and what mob it drops from. The shear amount of time and effort I have put into this is nuts. I spent over 6 hours in hillsbrad/alterac mountains hoping to find it, some times riding around to the spots they have been confirmed to be at when they spawn and using my true sight racial (human) I even marked the farmer everyone agreed to follow with a blue box so I always knew where he was at all times. I managed to get my fishing skill up from 270 something to 290 while here just fishing in pools I had come across, as well as max out most of my weapon skills (paladin) on turtles, murlocs, naga and critters around town. I filled my bags with so much leather I had to vendor some just to loot this thing when they DID spawn.

I regularly kept track of how many people were in the zone with /who for hillsbrad, at the time they did spawn, there were 4 total alliance in the zone, one being me, who had done all other quests in the zone prior. There was a 60 warrior in town as well as a 38 palli, and a druid somewhere in the zone according to my /who at the time. I had gone AFK in the town center between the inn and the town hall to read memes on discord, but left my sound on, shortly after that I heard the sound of a male human die and instantly tabbed back to see the Crier was dead at my feet. I lept to my mount and spammed my target macro and instantly found assassins, they spawn out of stealth, in their set spawn points then enter stealth. The guards did not seem to attack them UNTIL they attacked others. I managed to get the tag on my first kill and helped the 38 palli get his in a group. In total I 'think' 6 died while I was there, 4 of which were from me. The drop rate is 100%, me and him both got our drops first kill. It says 80 something % on their page because you can't loot it after completing the quest.

I have no idea if it was that druid out and about that was questing that spawned the event, if it was a HORDE quest that does it, (they already have a quest to spawn an elite in our GY) Or if it really is just on a timer. But seeing as how it times are not anywhere near something that would seem.. uhh, based on time, (mine spawned at 6:10 AM. My chat logs say the Crier had said "Hear ye hear ye!" at exactly 6:10:33. The times I seen from other comments also seem to be completely random. I assume it has something to do with a quest but not in town, perhaps when someone picks up the stack of papers in alterac by the syndicate on their table it starts the event? But the player whom actually did would not be in town at the time. Or maybe it is something the horde did. There were people on both factions questing during the 6 hours I was there, I saw a 25 troll priest by the farms, a 33 troll hunter farming turtles up stream, and many alliance. But I still could not tell you what made the event spawn. The only way I think we will truly find out is if you get together several accounts/players and test it yourself, testing quests and other such things from both factions in a controlled experiment to see what may be the cause, or it might just have a random spawn early morning/afternoon. Or ask the devs directly.

TLDR Still no idea how or why the event happened but after 6 hours of camping I have it. GL to you all trying for this thing.

On the Pagle server on Febryary 11, 2021, Shadowy Assassins spawned every few minutes between about 9:50 pm and 10:25 pm.

Although assassins spawned all around town, there were two just southeast of the dock that never provoked the guards; that seems like the best place to fight them if you want to avoid interference from the guards.

Commentaire de Maaarf

I just came into SS on my Horde mage, for the Helcular's revenge quest, and right next to Helculars' grave there were two of these guys just milling around stealthed.
They were there for a while, at least ten minutes, so if you want to take them on the guards were probably far enough away to not be an issue,
obviously, being horde, they attack as soon as I respawn at the grave, so can't be sure about aggro range when alliance characters attack the assassins.
The grave is at 52 53.

Commentaire de myeviItwin

After delivering D'autres mystères and accepting Le conseil noir, Assassin des ténèbres started to appear around the town.

Hopefully someone else can confirm my theory so other people know how to spawn these assassins to get the quest Contrat de l'assassin

Commentaire de minusDKP

They might be bugged on SoM servers. Had 1 group when i first got in SS, but now after I did Further Misteries there don't seem to be any of them spawning. Been patrolling the town for 20 minutes now without luck. Doubt they have that high stealth skill.

Commentaire de kkthxbyefan1

okay i actually registered here for this insane information i found out today..
so one kind druid said to me that this shadowy assassin is around big buildings all the time! ALL THE TIME!
i was in Desolace and i doubt his words but decided to try out, why not :)
and god damn they were seriously there and a lot of them and not only around bog buildings, they are all around the southshore.

i am hunter 42 lvl atm, i completed all the questline with assassins and only this was left. i would recommend to search for assassins around guards that patrolling territory around southshore.

Commentaire de alphasigmasigma

Did Shadowy Assassins ever spawn during Phase 1 of Season of Discovery, when the maximum level was 25?

If not, there is most likely a trigger that causes Shadowy Assassins to spawn, that was impossible to activate in Phase 1.

Commentaire de Wutface8

After turning in the quest "Letter to Stormpike" and returning to Loremaster Dibbs and turning in the follow up quest "Further Mysteries" A Southshore Crier runs into town stopping between the Town Hall and Inn and says: "Hear ye! *pant pant* Be warned citizens of Southshore: assassins are heading to our fair town!" Once this happens more guards spawn and spread around Southshore and very shortly afterwards Shadowy Assassins spawn (stealthed in pairs of two).

~Just did this on Season of Discovery, LIving Flame.

Commentaire de ChuTneYpiE

Spent the majority of my easter holiday in SS waiting for these guys to spawn:/

Commentaire de Etreum

It is not enough to tap them, you have to do more damage than the guards (Impossible, unless you are level 60 I suppose).

I was attacked several times, while I had my voidwalker in aggressive mode, but I still could not see them.

By the time I was able to target them and barely do any damage, a group of guards got to them and kill them in an instant.

And yes, you can tell the even is going on because the town's guard more than doubles.
