"Quick Guide: Gathering Resources in Assassin’s Creed Shadows"
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to its roots with an open-world RPG experience, emphasizing the importance of character and Hideout upgrades to conquer the game's challenging content. Here's your 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 acquire 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. Most side quests generously reward resources, and you can also obtain them by exploring and looting restricted areas. When you enter these zones or castles, use the L2 or LT button to scan your environment. This will reveal golden and white orbs, signaling the locations of chests and other valuable caches.
Occasionally, you'll stumble upon large resource caches, which you can tag for your scouts to discreetly transport back to your base.
For the most efficient resource farming, however, 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 provides access to special quests known as Contracts. These are tailored to help you farm essential resources like wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk, crucial for enhancing your weapons and armor.
Navigate to the Kakurega building within 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 substantial resources, making them an indispensable strategy for significantly upgrading your Hideout.
And that's the fastest way to gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
