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

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to its beloved open-world RPG roots, emphasizing the importance of character and Hideout upgrades to conquer the game's formidable challenges. Here's your guide to rapidly gathering 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

Quests and chest looting are straightforward ways to collect resources. Side quests often reward you generously, while exploring restricted areas and castles allows you to loot valuable caches. Use the L2 or LT button to scout your surroundings; golden and white orbs will highlight chests and other lootable items. Occasionally, you'll encounter large resource caches that you can mark for your scouts to pilfer.

For the most efficient resource farming, however, focus on completing Contracts.

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 numbers but also provides access to Contracts—special quests designed to help you farm essential resources like wood, minerals, crops, metal, and silk needed for upgrading your weapons and armor.

Navigate to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to browse available Contracts. Accept the ones that suit your needs, then locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will net you a substantial amount of resources, making them an excellent strategy for significant Hideout upgrades.
