Author : Isaac Apr 14,2025

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG format, requiring you to maintain your character and Hideout upgrades to conquer 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 the essential Hideout resources:

  • By completing quests
  • By completing Contracts
  • By looting chests

Quests and chest looting are straightforward approaches. Most side quests will generously reward you with resources, while looting restricted areas can also be fruitful. When entering a restricted area or castle, use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. This will highlight golden and white orbs, signaling the presence of chests and other valuable caches.

Occasionally, you'll discover large resource caches that you can mark for your scouts to transport back to your Hideout.

For the most efficient resource farming, however, you'll want to focus on completing Contracts.

Completing Contracts

Assassin's Creed Shadows Contract System

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 optional quests known as Contracts. These are specifically designed to help you gather wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk, which are crucial for upgrading your weapons and armor.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Kakurega Building

Navigate to the Kakurega building in your Hideout and interact with the small table inside to browse available Contracts. Accept the ones that suit your needs, and locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these Contracts will yield a substantial amount of resources, making them invaluable for significantly upgrading your Hideout.

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