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

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, requiring players to diligently upgrade their character and Hideout to conquer the game's more demanding challenges. 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 for acquiring resources for your Hideout:

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

Completing quests and looting chests are straightforward ways to gather resources. Most side quests generously reward you with essential materials, while looting restricted areas can yield additional resources. When you enter these areas or castles, use the L2 or LT button to survey your surroundings. You'll notice golden and white orbs that signify chests and other lootable caches.

Occasionally, you'll discover large resource caches that can be tagged for your scouts to transport back to your Hideout.

For the most efficient resource farming, however, focus on completing Contracts.

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you'll eventually unlock the option to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This facility not only increases your number of scouts but also introduces optional quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you amass resources like wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk, which are crucial for upgrading your weapons and armor.

To engage with Contracts, navigate to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to review available Contracts. Once you accept a Contract, locate it on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will reward you with substantial amounts of resources, making them an invaluable strategy for significantly upgrading your Hideout.

With these strategies, you'll be well on your way to efficiently gathering resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
