"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 upgrades in check is essential for tackling the game's challenging content. Here's your guide to efficiently gathering 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 gather resources for your Hideout:

• By completing quests
• By completing Contracts
• By looting chests

Quests and chest looting are straightforward. Many side quests will reward you with a substantial amount of resources. Additionally, you can acquire resources by exploring restricted areas. When you enter such areas or a castle, hold the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. This action will reveal golden and white orbs, signifying chests and other caches ripe for looting.

Occasionally, you'll come across large resource caches. These can be tagged for your scouts to stealthily transport back to your Hideout.

For the most efficient resource farming, however, you'll want to focus on completing Contracts.

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you'll have the opportunity to construct a Kakurega building in your Hideout. This not only increases your number of scouts but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are your key to farming wood, minerals, crops, and even the more elusive resources like metal and silk, which are crucial 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 browse and accept Contracts, which will appear on your map marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will net you a significant haul of resources, making them indispensable for major Hideout upgrades.

With these strategies, you'll be well-equipped to gather resources quickly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed guides, be sure to visit The Escapist.
