In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, returning to the open-world RPG formula means you'll need to keep your character and Hideout upgrades in top shape to tackle the game's toughest challenges. Here's how you can gather resources quickly to ensure you're always ready for what lies ahead.
How to Get Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
There are three main ways to gather resources for your Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*:
- By completing quests: Side quests often reward you with a substantial amount of resources. Keep an eye out for these as you explore the world.
- By completing Contracts: This is one of the most efficient ways to farm resources, as we'll discuss in more detail below.
- By looting chests: Looting restricted areas is another way to gain resources. When you enter such areas or castles, use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. You'll spot golden and white orbs that indicate chests and other lootable caches.
Occasionally, you'll come across large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle away, providing another avenue for resource collection.
Completing Contracts
As you develop your base, you'll eventually unlock the ability to construct a Kakurega building in your Hideout. This building not only increases your access to more scouts but also introduces optional quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you efficiently farm resources such as wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk, which are crucial for upgrading your weapons and armor.
To access your Contracts, head 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 net you a significant amount of resources, making them essential for major upgrades to your Hideout.
By following these methods, you'll be able to gather resources quickly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
