Quick Tips for Gathering Resources in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Wood, Minerals, Crops

*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 toughest challenges. 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:

• By completing quests
• By completing Contracts
• By looting chests

Quest completion and looting chests are straightforward. Most side quests will generously reward you with resources, and you can also obtain them by raiding restricted areas. When you enter a restricted area or castle, hold the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. This action will reveal golden and white orbs, signaling the presence of chests and other lootable caches.

Occasionally, you’ll encounter large resource caches that you can mark for your scouts to smuggle away, further boosting your resource collection.

For those looking to farm resources efficiently, however, focusing on Contracts is the way to go.

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you'll eventually need to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This not only increases your access to more scouts but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you farm essential resources like wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk, which are vital for upgrading your weapons and armor.

From your Hideout, navigate to the Kakurega building and interact with the small table inside to browse available Contracts. Accept the ones that interest you, then locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will shower you with a bounty of resources, making them a must-do for significant Hideout upgrades.

That’s the fastest way to gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, don't forget to check out The Escapist.
