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

*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 more challenging encounters. Here’s a detailed guide on how to gather resources swiftly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

How to Get Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, you have three primary methods for acquiring resources for your Hideout:

• By completing quests: Most side quests will reward you generously with resources. These are straightforward and often provide a good boost to your stockpile.
• By looting chests: You can find resources by looting chests in restricted areas. When you enter such zones or castles, use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. Look for golden and white orbs, which signal the presence of chests and other lootable caches.
• By completing Contracts: This is the most efficient way to farm resources. Occasionally, you'll come across large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle back to your Hideout.

Completing Contracts

As you progress and expand your base, you'll have the opportunity to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This structure not only increases your number of scouts but also unlocks special quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, as well as metal and silk, all of which are essential for upgrading your weapons and armor.

To access your Contracts, visit 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 yield a substantial amount of resources, making them an invaluable strategy for those looking to significantly upgrade their Hideout.

By following these methods, 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 check out The Escapist.
