In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, returning to the open-world RPG formula means you'll need to manage your character and Hideout upgrades effectively to tackle the game's more challenging aspects. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to gather resources quickly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

How to Get Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

There are three primary methods for acquiring 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 methods. Most side quests will reward you generously with resources. Additionally, you can obtain resources by looting restricted areas. When you enter a restricted zone or castle, use the L2 or LT button to survey your surroundings, allowing you to spot golden and white orbs that signify chests and other lootable caches.

Occasionally, you'll come across large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle away. This method can significantly boost your resource collection efforts.

However, if you're aiming to farm resources efficiently, focusing on Contracts is the way to go.

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you'll unlock the option to construct a Kakurega building in your Hideout. This facility not only increases your scout numbers but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are specifically designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk—essential materials for upgrading your weapons and armor.

To access Contracts, head to the Kakurega building within your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to review available Contracts. Accept the ones that interest you, and then locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will yield substantial resource rewards, making them invaluable for those looking to significantly upgrade their Hideout.

By following these methods, you'll be able to gather resources quickly and efficiently in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
