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

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, where keeping your character and Hideout upgraded is crucial for tackling the game's more formidable challenges. Here’s your guide to quickly gathering 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 secure resources for your Hideout:

• By completing quests
• By completing Contracts
• By looting chests

Quests and chest looting are straightforward. Most side quests will generously reward you with resources, and you can also acquire them by plundering restricted areas. When you venture into these areas or castles, press and hold the L2 or LT button to survey your surroundings. This will help you spot golden and white orbs, signaling the presence of chests and other lootable caches.

Occasionally, you'll come across large resource caches that you can mark for your scouts to pilfer.

For the most efficient resource farming, however, you'll want to focus on completing Contracts.

Completing Contracts

As you expand your base, you'll unlock the ability to construct a Kakurega building in your Hideout. This not only increases your scout numbers but also unlocks special quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you farm essential resources like wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk, which are vital for upgrading your weapons and armor.

To access Contracts, navigate to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to review available Contracts. Accept them, and locate them on your map using the katana icon as a guide. Completing these quests will net you substantial resource rewards, making them an essential part of upgrading your Hideout significantly.
