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, requiring players to continuously upgrade their character and Hideout to conquer the game's more demanding challenges. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to efficiently gather 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 resources for your Hideout:

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

Quests and chest looting are straightforward. Side quests often reward you generously with resources, and you can also find them by exploring restricted areas. When entering such areas or castles, press and hold the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. This will reveal golden and white orbs, indicating chests and other lootable caches. Additionally, you'll occasionally come across large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle back to your base.

For the most efficient resource farming, however, you should 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 count but also introduces optional quests known as Contracts. These are specifically designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk—essential materials for upgrading your weapons and armor.

To access Contracts, navigate to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to view available Contracts. Accept them, and then locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will yield a substantial amount of resources, making them invaluable for those looking to significantly upgrade their Hideout.
