In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, returning to the open-world RPG format means you'll need to keep your character and Hideout well-upgraded to tackle the game's challenging content. Here's how you can quickly gather the resources you need in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
How to Get Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
There are three main methods to gather resources for your Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*:
- By completing quests
- By completing Contracts
- By looting chests
Completing quests and looting chests are straightforward ways to gather resources. Side quests often reward you with a substantial amount of resources, and you can also find resources by looting restricted areas. When you enter a restricted area or castle, use the L2 or LT button to observe your surroundings. This will help you spot golden and white orbs, indicating the locations of chests and other lootable caches.
Occasionally, you'll come across large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle away.
For the most efficient resource farming, however, you should focus on completing Contracts.
Completing Contracts
As you develop your base, you'll eventually have the option to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This addition not only grants you access to more scouts but also introduces optional quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you farm essential resources like wood, minerals, crops, as well as metal and silk, which are crucial for upgrading your weapons and armor.
To access Contracts, head to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to view available Contracts. Accept them 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 highly effective way to upgrade your Hideout substantially.
By following these strategies, you'll be able to gather resources quickly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
