The Assassin's Contract drops from Shadowy Assassins that randomly spawn and attack you in Southshore, be quick to 'tag' them before the guards do, or you won't be able to loot it.

Southshore crier yells (zone wide apparently) about assassins in the hills. I ran to town, all the local guards were standing around the magistrate's house. I pouted. Checked the cemetary just in case. Boom, 2 shadowy assassins, high 30's. Quest underway...Hit them before the guards do so you can get the loot rights....

How often do these assassins spawn, is it all the time, or only after a certain quest is completed?? I have been trying to get my SW faction up with my Draenei to buy a horse. I need to find these guys for more rep. If you could let me know I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks

These guys will keep attacking for quite a while after the crier yells. Only way to know when it's over is when the extra guards despawn.

I've found that a swift moonfire ensures I almost always get to loot them.

Finally found the crier. Here's the text for those who have missed the beginning of the event (it is not a yell so you have to be close enough to him to hear it)

Southshore Crier says: Hear ye! Hear ye! *pant pant* Be warned citizens of Southshore: assassins are heading to our fair town!

Southshore Crier says: Guards to your posts! They must be after the Magistrate again. He must be protected! They could come from any direction!

Southshore Cirer says: Assassins... save... th... Magistraaa...

*Southshore Cirer dies.*

Pretty decent quest if you're lucky enough to grab one off the assassins. I sat around the middle of town for 25 mins and still have yet to see these guys spawn. If you're not one of the lucky ones, just pass up on this quest. Your time is better spent elsewhere.

The crier showed up in town at 21:36 and said this:

Southshore Guard says: Protect the Magistrate at all costs. They could come from any direction!
Southshore Guard says: Get to your posts! Let no invader reach Southshore!
Southshore Guard says: Anyone suspicious is to be taken down quickly. Get to your posts as quickly as possible!
Southshore Guard says: Anyone suspicious is to be taken down quickly. Get to your posts as quickly as possible!
Southshore Crier grabs the back of his neck and his eyes go wide.
Southshore Crier says: Assassins... save... th... Magistraaa...

Then I followed Farmer Kent around...the Assassins seem to think he's an easy target because they kept attacking him.

I don't think they randomly spawn. I handed in the quest named "Dark council" and suddenly the shadowy assasins were all over the place. So I think in order to spawn these you have to turn this quest in.
Maybe someone else confirm this

Are Horde characters supposed to be able to get the item that starts this quest? I just picked it up on my paladin after never having seen it before if I recall correctly (I've never played Alliance).

For the record, when used by a Horde player it says "This quest is not available to your race."

Just came out of the Southshore Inn with me Level 30 Mage, and got hit by one of these, guards killed it and I was a bit intrigued. I headed for the Flight master and another one spawned and attacked me, I didn't think about killing it as it was 8 lvls above me. I came on Wowhead and saw that they drop a quest item, another one spawned after I read up on that information, I tagged it, but the damage wasn't enough for me to able to loot it.

So, tagging the mob is not enough, you have to do a good amount of damage before you can loot this NPC

this quest and the next both count towards loremaster of eastern kingdoms.

I'm a pretty big quest freak and I was wondering if anyone had actually seen the Shadowy Assassins recently. On my alt on Ravenholdt, I've been trying forever to obtain this quest. I don't mean just a few hours one day and didn't manage to find any Assassins, I mean over the length of a week and more I would come back and camp Southshore for a few hours, one day up to 5+ hours (I'd watch TV or talk on vent, I'm not that crazy), running around some known spawn areas just waiting to hear some "stealth" sound or see the town crier, but nothing. And still nothing. And still absolutely nothing.

I know I haven't done the quest yet. This is one of my alts I made recently, and I guess I could just move on and forget about it, but if this quest is still obtainable I intend to get it. >:O Is anyone else having these issues or is it just my turn to be the unluckiest this month?

The post suggesting to run to the graveyard to have the best bet to tag these guys and get this item are dead on. I managed to loot the contract with a level 31 feral druid - I'd presume any class with a method to remove the poison and/or self-heal would be able to take these guys down at that level, despite the fact they were orange.

As an aside, after I'd done a good chunk of damage to the one I ended up looting, I moved backwards slowly until a guard came running in to finish him off.

Got this as a 36 druid. Quest pays 1 gold for completion! I think it's the first low level quest I've found that pays that much. Also at my level is worth 5450 xp!

Just got this one with my lv80 Feral Druid doing Loremaster.

I had done it before on two alts around lvl30 so i knew it was triggered in some way or the other.
i waited between almost all quests given by or turned in at the magistrate but it finally triggered after i had done all of them (including Stormpike's Deciphering) althogh i had waited another ~30min for that to happen.
also im fairly sure i was the only one in town and on that quest line at the time.

the town criers announcement came at 4:37 pm and mobs spawned about 5 min after that.
given that odd time (and some other comments above) i doubt this is a timed event.

i did a lot of running around the houses and casting some hurricanes here and there and it did trigger while i was hurricaning around the graveyard, most likely coinsidens^^.

my tip would be that it is triggered by a random area trigger since neither time nor quests seem to be linked to it. except the fact that you most likely would have been doing at least one of the alterac - syndicate quest(most likely Foreboding Plans).
just try running arround (in and out of the town itself, the town hall or the inn) alot^^.

once it is triggered there will be teams of 2 around town wich maybe a bit hard to spot, but there will most certainly be some of them trying to sneak up the stairs of the town hall.
Farmer Kent will be a good bet to follow too. since he runs around town he will certainly aggro some and will cry for help too.

also note that these dont show up on the map while tracking humanoids.

I just did this on my 80 rogue for Loremaster achievement.
The assassin was just sitting in the middle of town in stealth mode. :)

Hatschi mentioned some of the guards will be going around in pairs. This is the most helpful tip I have seen. I've been dropping in to Southshore every time I fly past. Just now I noticed guards in pairs, including a pair right near the flight master. Never heard the town crier, but I really didn't need to. There were fights between the guards and the assassins pretty often. But I think if you don't see guards in pairs, then the event probably isn't going on.

I suppose it's random where the pairs spawn but I saw a pair in the graveyard and a pair on the dock, plus the pair at the flight point. I think I saw another pair wandering around town.

I can't suggest what triggers this event, if it isn't just randomly timed, but I can tell you I did not trigger it by turning something in. I landed, saw a pair of guards, ran into town, killed an assassin the guards were fighting, and looted the contract, all in about fifteen seconds.

I'm pretty sure quest turnins don't trigger it, though, because I took my death knight (who had never quested in Hillsbrad/Alterac) down there and did all the quests people suggested would trigger it, and nothing happened.

Coords are 46,59 for 2 of the assassins, and they can be killed at anytime, and while i was posting this i was attacked by the same 2 assassins on my 80 hunter. Also 46, 54 for 2 more, as i was off to get the baron i ran into these 2 just standing there.

I was trying hard looking for the Assassin last night, near by the flight master. I gave up, but later as I was standing around the Town Hall, the Assassins ambushed me! The guards did come to kill them, but I guess I did cause enough damage to loot the contract off the Assassin. I was a lvl 36 dwarf palladin at the time.

Later, as I was going back to the Town Hall to turn in a different quest to the Magistrate, I saw a bunch of guards killing the Assassin inside the Town Hall. So I guess the Assassins might be scripted to run into the Town Hall to kill the Magistrate. I haven't confirmed but possibly you can just stand outside the Town Hall like I did and wait hopefully you also get ambushed like me =D

Good Luck!

Well, here is a new quirk.

Farmer Kent now screams the exact same script when the Elementals are attacking from the Southshore rift.

I landed, he was screaming about assassins but only when he got attacked by elementals.

I closed the rift and no shadowy anything anywhere.

This one is really a pain.
