*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, where keeping your character and Hideout upgraded is crucial for tackling the game's challenging content. 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 to acquire resources for your Hideout:

• By completing quests: Most side quests will generously reward you with resources. These quests not only advance the storyline but also bolster your resource stockpile.
• By completing Contracts: This is the most efficient way to farm resources, which we'll delve into further below.
• By looting chests: Looting is straightforward. When you enter restricted areas or castles, use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. You'll notice golden and white orbs highlighting chests and other lootable caches. Occasionally, you'll stumble upon large resource caches that you can tag for your scouts to smuggle back to your Hideout.

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you'll unlock the ability to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This structure not only increases your scout numbers but also unlocks special quests known as Contracts. These Contracts are designed to help you efficiently farm essential resources like wood, minerals, crops, metal, and silk, which are vital 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 available Contracts. Once accepted, locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will yield a substantial amount of resources, making them an indispensable part of your strategy for significant Hideout upgrades.

By following these methods, you'll be well on your way to gathering resources quickly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
