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

*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 more challenging content. 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

Quests and chest looting are straightforward. Most side quests will generously reward you with resources, and you can also obtain them by exploring restricted areas. When you venture into these zones or castles, use the L2 or LT button to survey your surroundings, allowing you to spot golden and white orbs that signify chests and other lootable caches.

Occasionally, you'll discover large resource caches, which you can mark for your scouts to transport back to your base.

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

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you'll eventually unlock the option to construct a Kakurega building in your Hideout. This building not only increases your number of scouts but also grants access to special quests known as Contracts. These are designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk, all of which are essential for upgrading your weapons and armor.

Navigate to the Kakurega building from your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to browse available Contracts. Accept the ones that interest you, and locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will provide a substantial amount of resources, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to significantly upgrade their Hideout.

That’s the best way to quickly gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
