*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, requiring players to manage character and Hideout upgrades to conquer the game's challenging content. Here's how to efficiently gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

To ensure your Hideout thrives in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, you'll need to secure resources like wood, minerals, and crops. There are three primary methods to acquire these vital materials:

• Completing Quests: Side quests often provide a substantial reward of resources. Engaging in these adventures not only progresses your storyline but also bolsters your resource stockpile.
• Looting Chests: Venturing into restricted areas and castles can be fruitful. Use the L2 or LT button to survey your surroundings and spot golden and white orbs that signify chests and other lootable caches. Keep an eye out for large resource caches, which you can tag for your scouts to smuggle away.
• Completing Contracts: For those looking to maximize resource farming, Contracts are the way to go.

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you'll have the opportunity to construct a Kakurega building in your Hideout. This structure not only increases your scout numbers but also unlocks optional quests known as Contracts. These are designed to help you gather essential resources like wood, minerals, crops, and even rare materials such as metal and silk, crucial for upgrading your weapons and armor.

To access Contracts, navigate to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside. Here, you can view and accept Contracts, which will then appear on your map marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will yield a significant amount of resources, making them invaluable for major Hideout upgrades.

By utilizing these strategies, you'll be well-equipped to gather resources quickly and efficiently in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed guides, be sure to visit The Escapist.
