*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, where keeping your character and Hideout up to date is crucial for tackling the game's more demanding challenges. Here's a guide on how to efficiently 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
Quest completion and looting chests are straightforward approaches. Most side quests will generously reward you with resources, and you can also obtain them by exploring restricted areas. When you enter such areas or castles, use the L2 or LT button to survey your environment, allowing you to identify golden and white orbs that signify the presence of chests and other lootable caches.
Occasionally, you'll come across large resource caches that you can mark for your scouts to discreetly transport back to your base.
However, for the most efficient resource farming, you should focus on completing Contracts.
Completing Contracts
As you develop your base, you'll reach a point where you can construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This addition not only increases your number of scouts but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you gather essential resources like wood, minerals, crops, and even rarer materials such as metal and silk, which are vital 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, and locate them on your map by following the katana icon. Completing these quests will provide you with substantial resource rewards, making them invaluable for significant Hideout upgrades.
This is how you can quickly gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
