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

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, and to conquer its challenges, you'll need to focus on upgrading both your character and your Hideout. 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 secure resources for your Hideout:

• Completing quests
• Completing Contracts
• Looting chests

Quests and chest looting are straightforward. Many side quests generously reward you with resources, and you can also gather them by exploring restricted areas. When you enter a restricted zone or castle, use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. This allows you to spot golden and white orbs, which signify chests and other lootable caches.

Occasionally, you'll stumble upon large resource caches that you can mark for your scouts to pilfer.

However, for the most efficient resource farming, you should focus on completing Contracts.

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you’ll unlock the opportunity to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This not only increases your scout capacity but also unlocks special quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk necessary 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. You can then view and accept Contracts, which will appear on your map marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will net you a substantial amount of resources, making them essential if you're aiming for significant Hideout upgrades.

That's how you can quickly gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed guides on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
