Quick Guide: Gathering Resources in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG formula, where keeping your character and Hideout upgraded is key to tackling the game's challenging content. Here’s a detailed guide on how to quickly gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

There are three primary methods to acquire 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. Most side quests will reward you generously with resources, and you can also obtain them by plundering restricted areas. When you venture into these zones or castles, hold the L2 or LT button to survey your surroundings. You'll notice golden and white orbs highlighting chests and other lootable caches.

Occasionally, you’ll encounter large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle away.

However, if you're aiming to farm resources efficiently, focusing on Contracts is your best bet.

Completing Contracts

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

From your Hideout, navigate to the Kakurega building and interact with the small table inside to browse your available Contracts. Accept the ones that suit your needs, and locate them on your map by following the katana icon. Completing these quests will reward you with a substantial amount of resources, making them an excellent strategy for significantly upgrading your Hideout.
