"Quick Guide: Gathering Wood, Minerals, Crops in Assassin’s Creed Shadows"

Diving back into the open-world RPG adventure with *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* means you’ll need to keep your character and Hideout upgrades sharp to tackle the game’s more challenging encounters. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to quickly 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 amass the resources you need for your Hideout:

• Completing Quests: Most side quests in the game will generously reward you with resources. These quests not only progress your story but also help you stockpile the essentials.
• Completing Contracts: A more efficient way to farm resources, which we’ll dive deeper into shortly.
• Looting Chests: When you venture into restricted areas or castles, use the L2 or LT button to survey your surroundings. You’ll spot golden and white orbs that signify chests and other lootable caches. Keep an eye out for larger resource caches as well, which you can tag for your scouts to smuggle away.

Completing Contracts

As you expand your base, you’ll reach a point where you can construct the Kakurega building within your Hideout. This upgrade not only increases your number of scouts but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These are specifically designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even more specialized materials like metal and silk, which are crucial for enhancing your weapons and armor.

To engage with Contracts, navigate to the Kakurega building from your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to browse available Contracts. Accept the ones that suit your needs, and locate them on your map by following the katana icon. Completing these quests will shower you with an abundance of resources, making them an essential activity if you aim to significantly upgrade your Hideout.
