In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, returning to the open-world RPG format means you'll need to keep your character and Hideout well-upgraded to tackle the game's more challenging encounters. Here's your guide to quickly gathering resources in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*.
How to Get Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
There are three primary methods for acquiring resources for your Hideout in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*:
- By completing quests
- By completing Contracts
- By looting chests
Completing quests and looting chests are straightforward approaches. Most side quests will generously reward you with resources, and you can also find them by plundering restricted areas. When you enter a restricted area or castle, use the L2 or LT button to survey your surroundings. You'll notice golden and white orbs that signal the presence of chests and other caches ripe for looting.
Occasionally, you'll come across large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to pilfer discreetly.
For the most efficient resource farming, however, you should focus on completing Contracts.
Completing Contracts
As you expand your base, you'll eventually unlock the option to construct a Kakurega building in your Hideout. This building not only increases your number of scouts but also unlocks special quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even rare materials like metal and silk, all crucial for upgrading your weapons and armor.
To access Contracts, navigate to the Kakurega building within your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to browse available Contracts. Once you accept a Contract, locate it on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will yield substantial amounts of resources, making them an essential part of your strategy if you aim to significantly upgrade your Hideout.
That’s how you can efficiently gather resources in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, make sure to visit The Escapist.
