Diving back into the open-world RPG experience with *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* means you'll need to keep your character and Hideout well-equipped to face the game's challenging adversaries. Here's your ultimate guide to gathering resources swiftly 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 amassing resources for your Hideout:
- By completing quests
- By completing Contracts
- By looting chests
Quests and chest looting are straightforward. Side quests often yield a bounty of resources, while exploring restricted zones can lead you to valuable loot. When you enter such areas, use the L2 or LT button to survey your surroundings; look for golden and white orbs that signify chests and caches ripe for the taking.
Occasionally, you'll stumble upon large resource caches. Mark these for your scouts, who can then sneak them out for you.
For the most efficient resource farming, though, focus on completing Contracts.
Completing Contracts
As you develop your base, you'll unlock the ability to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This structure not only increases your scout numbers but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These are specifically designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even more exotic materials like metal and silk, which are crucial for upgrading your weapons and armor.
To access your 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 flood your inventory with resources, making them an essential part of your strategy for major Hideout upgrades.
That's your roadmap to quickly gathering resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more in-depth tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
