*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to its beloved open-world RPG roots, challenging players to keep their character and Hideout well-upgraded to tackle the game's demanding challenges. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to efficiently 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 for acquiring essential Hideout resources: completing quests, engaging in Contracts, and looting chests. While quest completion and chest looting are straightforward, they offer substantial rewards. Side quests typically provide a generous amount of resources, and you can also find them by exploring restricted areas. When you enter such zones or castles, hold the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings, allowing you to spot golden and white orbs that signify chests and other valuable caches.
Occasionally, you'll stumble upon large resource caches that can be marked for your scouts to pilfer and transport back to your base.
However, the most efficient way to farm resources is by focusing on Contracts.
Completing Contracts
As you expand your base, you'll unlock the opportunity to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This addition not only boosts your number of scouts but also introduces optional quests known as Contracts. These are specifically designed to help you amass wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk, which are crucial for enhancing your weapons and armor.
Navigate to the Kakurega building from your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to access your available Contracts. Accept the ones that interest you, and locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will shower you with a bounty of resources, making them a vital strategy for significantly upgrading your Hideout.
By following these methods, you'll be well on your way to quickly gathering the resources needed in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more in-depth tips and information, be sure to check out The Escapist.
