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

Mastering Assassin's Creed Shadows' open-world RPG mechanics requires consistent upgrades to your character and Hideout. Securing resources efficiently is key to tackling the game's tougher challenges. Here's how to quickly amass the resources you need.

How to Obtain Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin's Creed Shadows

There are three primary methods for acquiring Hideout resources in Assassin's Creed Shadows:

• Completing Quests: Many side quests generously reward you with resources. Exploring restricted areas and castles also yields rewards. While exploring, use L2 or LT to survey your surroundings; golden and white orbs highlight chests and other lootable caches. You'll occasionally discover large resource caches that your scouts can smuggle back to base.
• Completing Contracts: This is the most efficient resource farming method.
• Looting Chests: Exploring the game world will naturally lead you to chests containing various resources.

Completing Contracts

Constructing the Kakurega building in your Hideout unlocks access to additional scouts and Contracts—optional quests designed for resource farming. These Contracts provide substantial quantities of wood, minerals, crops, metal, and silk, crucial for upgrading weapons and armor.

From your Hideout, access the Kakurega building and interact with the table inside to view available Contracts. Accept them and locate them on your map, indicated by a katana icon. Completing these quests significantly boosts your resource stockpile, accelerating Hideout upgrades.
