*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, where keeping your character and Hideout upgraded is crucial for tackling the game's challenging content. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to 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:

  • By completing quests: Most side quests will generously reward you with resources. These are straightforward and provide a steady flow of materials.
  • By looting chests: When you venture into restricted areas or castles, use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. You'll notice golden and white orbs, which signify chests and other lootable caches. Don't miss out on the large resource caches you can tag for your scouts to smuggle away.
  • By completing Contracts: This is the most efficient way to farm resources. Let's dive deeper into this method.

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 capacity but also introduces optional quests known as Contracts. These are specifically designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk, which are essential 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. Once accepted, locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will yield a substantial amount of resources, making them an invaluable method for significantly upgrading your Hideout.

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