Author : Hannah May 14,2025

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to the beloved open-world RPG formula, making it crucial to keep your character and Hideout upgrades on point to conquer the game's challenging content. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to quickly gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, you can acquire Hideout resources through three main methods: completing quests, fulfilling Contracts, and looting chests. While quest completion and chest looting are straightforward, they offer significant rewards. Side quests typically grant you ample resources, and you can also find them by raiding restricted areas. When you enter such areas or castles, press and hold the L2 or LT button to scan your environment; this will reveal golden and white orbs marking chests and other lootable caches.

Occasionally, you'll encounter large resource caches which you can tag for your scouts to smuggle back to your base.

For the most efficient resource farming, however, you should focus on completing Contracts.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Hideout

As you develop your base, you'll unlock the option 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 amass wood, minerals, crops, and even valuable materials like metal and silk, essential for enhancing your weapons and armor.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Contracts

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, then locate them on your map, marked by a katana icon. Completing these quests will provide you with a substantial amount of resources, making them a vital strategy for significantly upgrading your Hideout.

By following these methods, you'll efficiently gather resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more in-depth tips and strategies, be sure to visit The Escapist.
