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

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG formula, where keeping your character and Hideout upgraded is key to tackling the game's challenging quests. Here’s your guide to quickly gathering resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

How to Get Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, securing resources for your Hideout is crucial. Here are the three primary methods to acquire wood, minerals, and crops:

• By Completing Quests: Most side quests generously reward you with resources. Engage in these to bolster your stock.
• By Completing Contracts: This method is the most efficient for resource farming, which we'll explore in detail below.
• By Looting Chests: Explore restricted areas and castles, where you can spot golden and white orbs indicating chests and other lootable caches. Use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings and locate these valuable resources. Occasionally, you'll come across large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle back to your Hideout.

Completing Contracts

As you progress in building your base, you'll unlock the ability to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This addition not only expands your scouting capabilities but also introduces optional quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are your golden ticket to efficiently farming essential resources like wood, minerals, crops, and even 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, which will appear on your map marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will shower you with an abundance of resources, making them indispensable for those aiming to significantly upgrade their Hideout.

With these strategies, you'll be well on your way to quickly amassing the resources you need in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed guides, make sure to check out The Escapist.
