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

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, where maintaining your character and Hideout upgrades is crucial to conquering the game's challenging quests. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to 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:

• Completing Quests: Most side quests generously reward you with resources, making them a reliable source.
• Looting Chests: Exploring restricted areas and castles offers the chance to loot chests. Use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings for golden and white orbs, indicating hidden treasures and caches.
• Large Resource Caches: Occasionally, you’ll come across significant resource caches. Tag these for your scouts to transport back to your Hideout.

However, the most effective way to farm resources is by 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 capacity but also introduces optional quests known as Contracts. These are specifically designed to help you gather essential resources like wood, minerals, crops, metal, and silk, which are vital for upgrading your weapons and armor.

To access Contracts, navigate to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside. Here, you can view and accept available Contracts. Once accepted, locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will yield substantial resource rewards, making them an indispensable part of your strategy to significantly upgrade your Hideout.

By following these methods, you'll be well-equipped to gather resources quickly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
