"Quick Guide: 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 challenging content. 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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, you have three primary methods to gather resources for your Hideout:

• By completing quests: Most side quests provide a substantial amount of resources upon completion.
• By completing Contracts: A more efficient method to farm resources.
• By looting chests: Explore restricted areas and castles, where you can find chests and other lootable caches. Use the L2 or LT button to observe your surroundings and spot golden and white orbs indicating lootable items.

Occasionally, you'll encounter large resource caches that can be tagged for your scouts to smuggle away. However, for the most efficient resource farming, focus on completing Contracts.

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you'll unlock the ability to construct a Kakurega building in your Hideout. This structure not only increases your number of scouts but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These are designed to help you efficiently gather resources like wood, minerals, crops, as well as metal and silk, which are essential for upgrading your weapons and armor.

To access Contracts, navigate to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to view available Contracts. Accept them and locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will reward you with a significant amount of resources, making them invaluable for major Hideout upgrades.
