I found that the best way to do this was to go down into the Chamber of the Stars and do laps. Anything called "Suntouched..." appear to drop the item.

There was a lot of alliance and horde circling down there and it is not a guaranteed drop so it did take time to get all 6.

To Clarify:
1) [item=173986] - Drops from these mobs:
-->Suntouched Acolytes
-->Suntouched Acolytes
-->Amathet Suntouched
-->Amathet Suntouched

2) They do NOT drop from the Suntouched Falcons or other NON-Suntouched NPCs.

3) The best place to farm these mobs are just East (RIGHT on the map) of the Halls of Origination. The highlighted quest regions vastly overestimate where these mobs are. They are mostly standing next to the Obelisks and other objects that appear to have a beam towards it (but not always).
---> As some people have mentioned, another acceptable spot to farm is the Chamber of Stars (North quest zone, inside and down). I had less luck here, but if the other spot is busy, worth trying.

4) Drop rate seems to be ~25% and the mob respawn rate roughly 2 minutes. This quest took me roughly 10 minutes to complete due to having to wait several times for mobs to respawn.

Description

Very little is known about the Sun King that leads the Amathet. Our observations suggest that those closest to him are the "Suntouched," a unique caste of solar magic practitioners. I would like very much to learn more about this Sun King but, unlike some members of the Explorers' League, I'm not willing to risk the lives of my researchers to do so. You seem to be able to hold your own, though. If you happen upon any records about the Sun King, I'd gladly take them off your hands.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
