*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 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 offer substantial resource rewards. Engaging in these quests not only progresses your storyline but also boosts your resource stockpile.
- Looting Chests: Exploring restricted areas and castles can be lucrative. Use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings for golden and white orbs, which signify chests and other lootable caches. Keep an eye out for large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle back to your base.
- Completing Contracts: This is the most efficient way to farm resources. Let's dive deeper into how Contracts work.
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 wood, minerals, crops, and even 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. Here, you can view and accept available Contracts. Once accepted, locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will reward you with a significant amount of resources, making them an invaluable method for upgrading your Hideout extensively.
By following these strategies, you'll be able to gather resources quickly and efficiently in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
