In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the return to the open-world RPG formula means you'll need to keep your character and Hideout well-upgraded to tackle the game's more challenging encounters. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to gather resources quickly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
How to Get Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
There are three primary methods for acquiring resources for your Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*:
- By completing quests: Most side quests offer substantial resource rewards, making them a reliable source of materials.
- By completing Contracts: These are specific tasks that provide a high yield of resources.
- By looting chests: You can find resources by looting chests in restricted areas. When you enter such zones, use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. Look for golden and white orbs, which signify chests and other lootable caches.
Occasionally, you'll come across large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle back to your Hideout.
For the most efficient resource farming, focus on completing Contracts.
Completing Contracts
As you develop your base, you'll reach a point where you can construct a Kakurega building in your Hideout. This facility not only increases your number of scouts but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you amass wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk—essential materials for upgrading your weapons and armor.
To access your Contracts, head to the Kakurega building and interact with the small table inside. You'll be able to view and accept available Contracts. They will appear on your map marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will reward you generously with resources, making them a must-do for anyone looking to significantly upgrade their Hideout.
That's how you can quickly gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, make sure to visit The Escapist.
