Quick Guide: Gathering Resources in Assassin’s Creed Shadows - Wood, Minerals, Crops

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, making it essential to keep your character and Hideout well-upgraded to tackle the game's challenging content. Here’s how you can efficiently gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

How to Get Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, there are three primary methods to acquire resources for your Hideout:

• Completing Quests: Most side quests reward a substantial amount of resources. Engage in these to bolster your supplies.
• Completing Contracts: A specialized way to farm resources, which we'll delve into shortly.
• Looting Chests: Explore restricted areas and castles. Use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings for golden and white orbs, signaling chests and lootable caches. Additionally, keep an eye out for large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle away.

While quests and looting are straightforward, if you're aiming to farm resources efficiently, focusing on Contracts is key.

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you'll unlock the ability to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This structure not only increases your scout numbers but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These are designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk, which are crucial for upgrading your weapons and armor.

To access Contracts, navigate to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside. Here, you can view and accept available Contracts. They will appear on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will yield a significant amount of resources, making them an excellent choice for those looking to make substantial upgrades to their Hideout.

By following these strategies, you'll be able to gather resources quickly and efficiently in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
