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 http://www.wowhead.com/?item=3668 !

I had these attack my undead mage as I went to finish the Helcular's rod quest. I was freaked out thinking it was a guard that had put me in combat only to have one of these unstealth.

Is there anyway to trigger these to spawn, or a set time that they do? I've never seen them when I was high enough to do anything to them, or I was WAY too high, and the quest was gray to me when I did.

I just went onto the pier by the inn and one just popped up. the guards killed it but i still got the contract. when i was turning in a quest a few minutes later, 3 lvl 38's appeared out of nowhere and tried to attack me! i am lvl 35.

I'm not sure whats up with these guys. I turned in a quest inside the inn, and when I got out, I had three of these guys on me! Luckily there were some guards to help me out.

I'm not sure if this happens everytime but I was jumped by two, and the gaurds downed them, then two more and another two almost instantly after those two untill they killed me. Rez sickness sucks, that and they were way too high a lvl for me

Kommentar von Prokos

great, got killed by them 3 times in a row already... right outside the city without guards and im lvl 29 =/

Kommentar von Wulferious

Anyone have an idea how often they show up? Been waiting a longish time, and no matter what level peeps are around, the assassins haven't shown.

Or is there something that triggers the attack?

After 4 hours camping in Southshore, I would like to describe what happened to me.

At first, I thought these assassins must relate with some quests, however I was wrong. After each single quest completed in Southshore, I camped 15 minutes to see what is going to happen, but these assassins never showed up. I think this is enough to contradict those people who said there is a relationship with some quests.

At 5:02 am server time(eu), a Southshore Crier (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=2435) spawn on the road between Southshore and Tarren Mill, he started to run to shoreshore after spawning. Once he reached the town centre, he yelled to warn the town folks about the assassins and Shadowy Assassin spawned immediately after his yelling. After I killed those assasins, an assassin's contract droped for me, all 4 hours waiting is worthy.

I also found some thread on thottbot said that Shadowy Assassin spawns on some certain time.

All of you are wrong. I just got attacked by these guys about 10 times in 15 minutes. Just standing around, sometimes I looked for these guys because I kept on having a hard time as a 33 trying to get enough damage off before the guards tapped them over me. But yes, they have a fast respawn, try standing around the graveyard.

Added: Finally just got 1, they spawn 2 at a time, male and female combo, I got attacked twice in 3 minutes. Standing at the graveyard, and once in the middle of town. This is my confirmation.

I was just coming out of the Inn and was jumped by one of these. I Alt+Tabbed to Wowhead to see about him and by the time I went back into WoW (less than 1 minute) I had been jumped and about dead. So respawn can be less than 1 minute.

EDIT: While I was writing my post I was jumped again this time in the Inn, and there was a 4th corpse by the town hall. So do they come in waves?

If you follow the Southshore Crier down to the harbour, just between the two houses. The Shadowy Assassin's seem to spawn there. Look for the guards and people starting to run around real fast, and you know they'll be there soon.

If they're going to do things like this, why do them where a million guards will rush in and grab the kill?

Kommentar von fattony

When I was gonna turn in the Dark Council quest (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=537) he was being attacked by several assassins. I killed them and one of them had the contract on him. I think the way to trigger these attacks is to do this quest chain.

It seems to me that all the comments mentioning a long respawn timer are pre-3.1 so isn't it possible that Blizz nerfed the spawn timer in 3.1 to make it easier to find & kill these dudes? Just a thought...

There were only 1 player in Hillsbrad Foothills at that time - me. So this event not based on other quests. And yes, it was so boring that I made link on almost every word *yawn*.

According to other posts - evnt happened at 3am and 5am aswell. Event may be happen every 2 hour or every 2 hour in morning/evening.

Kommentar von Zeebs

These suckers are annoying as crap for hordies, considering Helcular's Revenge can be completed at a much lower level than is suggested, meaning that these mobs are often "skulled" for the unsuspecting quester.

I'm now on my alliance hunter, and can't seem to find them anywhere, even with Track Hidden active, and judicious use of Flare.

Whether these mobs are associated with an event or not has yet to be determined.

Edit: About 2:30, server time, I found some spawned. They do not always spawn in male/female pairs, and neither do they always spawn in pairs at all. Still no idea if they're associated with a mini-event.

At 4:30 Server time they spawned, I didn't see any so I hung around Farmer Kent. Sure enough they ganked him.

Quest chain counts towards Lore Master of Eastern Kingdoms.

I've been around Southshore for 3 hours until I came up with an Idea. If the spawns are not timed or triggered by a quest, there should be another thing for this event to start.

I've checked every spawn point shown in the map and finally found a pair of Shadowy Assassins stealthed out of the town. I killed them and looted the contract. 5 seconds after, the crier appeared and started the attack event.

It could be coincidence, but I seriously doubt it.

Can anyone confirm this is not just a coincidence?
