Fastest Ways to Gather Resources in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Wood, Minerals, Crops

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, returning to the open-world RPG formula means you'll need to focus on upgrading both your character and your Hideout to tackle the game's more challenging content. Here's how to gather resources efficiently in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

To ensure your Hideout is well-stocked with resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, you have three primary methods at your disposal:

• Completing Quests: Most side quests will generously reward you with resources. It's a straightforward way to bolster your supplies.
• Looting Chests: Venturing into restricted areas or castles can be lucrative. Use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings for golden and white orbs, which signify chests and other lootable caches. Keep an eye out for larger resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle back to your Hideout.
• Completing Contracts: For the most efficient resource farming, focus on Contracts.

Completing Contracts

As you expand your base, you'll unlock the option to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This structure not only increases your scout numbers but also grants access to Contracts—special optional quests designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and essential materials like metal and silk needed for upgrading your weapons and armor.

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

By following these methods, you can swiftly gather the resources you need in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
