"Quick Tips for Gathering Resources in Assassin’s Creed Shadows"

Diving back into the open-world RPG experience with *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*? You'll need to keep your character and Hideout sharp to conquer the game's challenges. Here's your ultimate guide to quickly gathering resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

There are three primary methods to stock up on Hideout resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*:

• Completing quests
• Completing Contracts
• Looting chests

Quest completion and chest looting are straightforward. Most side quests generously reward you with resources, and you can also find them by exploring restricted areas. When venturing into these zones or castles, hold the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. You'll spot golden and white orbs marking chests and other lootable caches.

Occasionally, you'll discover large resource caches. Tag these for your scouts to discreetly smuggle them back to your base.

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

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you'll unlock the ability to construct a Kakurega building in your Hideout. This facility not only boosts your scout numbers but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These are designed to help you amass wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk—essential for upgrading your weapons and armor.

To access your Contracts, navigate to the Kakurega building within your Hideout and interact with the table inside. Browse available Contracts, accept them, and locate them on your map via the katana icon. Completing these quests will shower you with a bounty of resources, making them an indispensable strategy for significantly upgrading your Hideout.

And there you have it—the fastest ways to gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and in-depth information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
