"Quick Guide: Gathering Resources in Assassin’s Creed Shadows"

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, making it crucial to keep your character and Hideout well-upgraded to tackle the game's challenging content. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to swiftly gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, you have three primary methods to acquire the resources needed for your Hideout:

• By completing quests: Most side quests will reward you generously with resources. These missions not only advance your story but also bolster your resource stockpile.
• By completing Contracts: These specialized missions become available as you progress and are crucial for efficient resource farming.
• By looting chests: Looting is straightforward. When entering restricted areas or castles, use the L2 or LT button to scan your environment. You’ll spot golden and white orbs, which signify chests and other caches ripe for looting.

Occasionally, you’ll encounter large resource caches that you can tag. Once tagged, your scouts will smuggle these away, adding to your resource collection without further effort on your part.

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you’ll unlock the ability to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This structure is key because it not only increases your scout capacity but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are specifically designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk, all essential for upgrading your weapons and armor.

Navigate to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to access your Contracts. Accept them, and then locate them on your map by looking for the katana icon. Completing these quests will provide you with substantial amounts of resources, making them an indispensable part of rapidly upgrading your Hideout.
