How to Get Resources Fast in Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Wood, Minerals, Crops)

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, where upgrading your character and Hideout is crucial for tackling the game's more challenging encounters. Here's your ultimate guide to efficiently gathering 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 acquire the resources needed for your Hideout:

• Completing Quests: Most side quests offer a substantial reward of resources. Dive into these quests to bolster your stockpile.
• Looting Chests: Explore restricted areas and castles. By holding the L2 or LT button, you can survey your surroundings to spot golden and white orbs, signaling chests and other valuable caches. Keep an eye out for large resource caches that you can mark for your scouts to pilfer.
• Completing Contracts: This is the most efficient method for farming resources. Let's delve deeper into how Contracts work.

Completing Contracts

As you expand your base, you'll unlock the ability to construct a Kakurega building in your Hideout. This addition not only increases your scout team but also unlocks special quests known as Contracts. These are designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even scarce materials like metal and silk, which are essential for upgrading your weapons and armor.

To engage with Contracts, head to the Kakurega building within your Hideout and interact with the small table inside. Here, you can view 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 must-do if you're aiming for substantial Hideout upgrades.

And that's your strategy for quickly amassing resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
