In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, returning to the open-world RPG format means you'll need to focus on upgrading both your character and your Hideout to tackle the game's more challenging aspects. Here’s a guide on how to quickly gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
How to Get Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
There are three primary methods to obtain 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. Side quests often reward you with substantial amounts of resources, while chests can be found by exploring restricted areas. When entering such zones or castles, use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. You'll spot golden and white orbs, which indicate chests and other lootable caches. Additionally, you might stumble upon large resource caches that you can mark for your scouts to smuggle away.
However, for the most efficient resource farming, you'll want to focus on completing Contracts.
Completing Contracts
As you develop your base, you’ll eventually unlock the option to construct a Kakurega building in your Hideout. This structure not only increases your scout numbers but also introduces optional quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk, which are crucial for upgrading your weapons and armor.
From your Hideout, navigate to the Kakurega building and interact with the small table inside to view available Contracts. Accept the ones you're interested in, and locate them on your map by following the katana icon. These quests offer significant resource rewards, making them a must-do for anyone looking to enhance their Hideout significantly.
