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

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, emphasizing the importance of character and Hideout upgrades to conquer the game's challenging content. Here's how you can swiftly gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* to stay ahead in the game.

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:

• By completing quests: Side quests typically reward you with substantial amounts of resources. Completing these quests is a straightforward way to bolster your supplies.
• By completing Contracts: Contracts are specialized quests that offer efficient resource farming.
• By looting chests: Exploring restricted areas and castles can lead you to 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 stumble upon large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle back to your Hideout.

For the most efficient resource farming, focusing on Contracts is key.

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you'll have the opportunity to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This building not only increases your scout numbers but also unlocks Contracts—optional quests designed to help you farm essential resources like wood, minerals, crops, metal, and silk needed 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, marked by a katana icon. Completing these Contracts will reward you with a significant amount of resources, making them an essential strategy for substantial Hideout upgrades.

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, make sure to check out The Escapist.
