It took a while for me to find them.

They are running around in the middle of the quest area that is pointed out to you. They run pretty fast and they are friendly (green) as long as you are in your disguise.

Either chill at the "main square" in the middle or run around in the center and you'll eventually find them.

Comment by Naana
If some guard detects you, you can find an Inconpicuous Basket to hide and reapply a disguise.

Comment by Flappers
Just stand in the center as shown in the screen shot. The Nightborne Couriers use the portal every couple of min :)

Just standing near the teleporter at 50.0, 65.3, lower level, just outside of the court of stars dungeon, I had couriers running in and out non-stop. From the time I got to the teleporter I was done in 20 seconds.

Comment by WoWGnGP
i made i playthrough of this quest if anyone wish to see how to do it :)

Sillently assassinating couriers with a special blade... hiding spots that help you evade guards... A beautiful city featuring waterways and gondolas... This all reminds me a lot of Assassin's Creed 2.

Comment by perbrethil
To make this ridiculusly easy, find the north eastern entrance to the sanctum of order in suramar city (43,62). if you go down the small flight of stairs you see a teleporter on either side of the room with messagers running from and to them all the time.
If you stand in the middle of the hall it takes you probably 5 seconds to complete.

Comment by dvdrip1
A good place to simply stand safe, waiting for the couriers to pass quite often is at 48.6, 64.4 on the stairs. You'll be out of reach for the guards there.

For the TomTom users, use:

/way 48.6, 64.4

Comment by Wowzir
My favorite location has a Nightborne Child near a choke point...
/way Suramar 48.1, 76.5 Ambush Point

The only mobs you need to avoid, once in your Masquerade disguise, are the Duskwatch Orbitists. I have not seen an Orbitist come through this location.

Macro:
/tar NIghtborne Courier
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 4)
/use Nightborne Spellblade

Second line in the macro is not needed in this situation, but I left it in as I use this as a general targeting macro. Change the target in the first line, insert lines for additional targets where appropriate, and change the third line (and maybe add one or two) to use other items, abilities, and spells such as quest provided special items/spells. The number in line 2 can be any integer from 1 to 8, and, will change which target marker icon is applied to the target.

This allows you to easily adapt on the go. I usually have one set up to simply locate and mark targets and another to actually engage the target(s). I call them "Tar" and "Zap" respectively. Zap usually includes whatever ability or tool has class' greatest range.

Final word of CAUTION: while I was editing this comment, my ISP had a "hiccup" and I lost my connection... remember to reapply YOUR disguise if you need to log off or get DC'd... well, DUH! lol at myself. I'm going to keep a closer watch on that Nightborne Child. I suspect he may have a spellblade of his own.

Comment by Auraia
One of the couriers spawns at 46,71 between a broom and a floaty writing-book-thing near the little gondola river. Just hang out there and kill them as they spawn in front of you.

Comment by Enderverse
I'm not sure if this was intended, but you can shank the couriers in broad daylight in front of guards and they won't do react if you have your masquerade.

Comment by Yogilaw
Tip! Don't run around like a wet hen chasing the couriers. Simply find a safe place within the marked action area on the mini-map & wait. You should be able to nail all 3 items inside 2-3 mins easily. There may be some competition from other players (loot is not shared for this Q) but you still won't have to hang about for long & it avoids any confrontation with Duskwatch NPC's.

Comment by Ickyicky
Easiest way to do this is create a macro /target Nightborne Courier. Spam it they show up if in range. I used the smaller southern zone. Took me longer to chase them down and kill them than to actually find them.

Comment by Boxofbeer
Nightborne Couriers run everywhere through the Suramar City. Stab they with your Nightborne Spellblade and grab letters. Also, dont afraid of guards, they dont mind if you are killing couriers at their eyes.

Comment by Ovidian
I made the mistake of looking for the runners before I had claimed my rewards on the preceeding quests. You have the quest in your quest log, but you do not see any runners. I think it is the Key to Samaria you need.

Comment by SinusPi
Protect civilians, but slay civilian couriers just because of their cargo. That's quite odd from a moral standpoint, if you ask me. Couldn't we have just pickpocketed the letters off the couriers, by way of stunning them with a similar special item? Sheesh.

Comment by CoaFeanaro
They're all in the southern area the quest marks on the map. Searched forever at the northern bit but no luck. Check the Nighborne Courier page for the TomToms.

Special Delivery

Acquire 3 Stacks of Letters from Nightborne Couriers using the Nightborne Spellblade.

	Stack of Letters (3)

Provided item:

	Nightborne Spellblade (1)

Description

Verene's child has gone missing. I can guess what happened, but I need to be sure. Most guardsmen use couriers to relay delicate information. In this, magic is strictly the province of high ranking officials. Take this blade. Do not touch the cutting edge. Use it to silently waylay the couriers and collect any correspondence they carry. With any luck, the missives will tell us exactly where to find the girl. We guards know everything, after all. <Silgryn offers you a winning smile.>
