How to Get Resources Fast in Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Wood, Minerals, Crops)

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, returning to the open-world RPG formula means keeping up with character and Hideout upgrades is crucial for tackling the game's tougher challenges. Here's how you can efficiently 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 acquire Hideout resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*: completing quests, fulfilling Contracts, and looting chests. Quests and chests are straightforward; side quests typically reward you with a substantial amount of resources, and you can also find them by raiding restricted areas. When entering a restricted area or castle, hold the L2 or LT button to survey your surroundings. You'll notice golden and white orbs that mark chests and other lootable caches.

Occasionally, you'll discover large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle away. However, for the most efficient resource farming, you should focus on completing Contracts.

Completing Contracts

As you expand your base, you'll need to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This building not only increases your access to scouts but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, as well as metal and silk, which are essential for upgrading your weapons and armor.

Navigate to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to browse available Contracts. Accept them, and locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will net you a significant amount of resources, making them an excellent way to rapidly upgrade your Hideout.

And that's how you can quickly gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
