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

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 tackle the game's challenges. Here’s how you can gather resources swiftly to ensure your progress remains unhindered.

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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, there are three primary methods to collect resources for your Hideout:

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

Quests and chests are straightforward ways to gather resources. Completing side quests often rewards you with a substantial amount of resources, while looting restricted areas can also yield valuable loot. When you enter a restricted area or castle, hold down the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. You'll notice golden and white orbs highlighting chests and other lootable caches. Occasionally, you'll come across large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle back to your Hideout.

For the most efficient resource farming, however, you'll want to focus on completing Contracts.

Completing Contracts

As you expand your base, you'll unlock the option to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This building not only increases your scout numbers but also provides access to Contracts, which are special quests designed to help you farm essential resources like wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk for weapon and armor upgrades.

To engage with Contracts, head to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to browse available Contracts. Accept the ones that interest you, and locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will reward you with a significant amount of resources, making them a crucial part of your strategy for substantial Hideout upgrades.

By leveraging these methods, you'll be able to gather resources quickly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and in-depth information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
