*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* returns to its beloved open-world RPG roots, where upgrading your character and Hideout is crucial for tackling the game's more challenging content. Here's a detailed 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*, acquiring resources for your Hideout can be achieved through three primary methods:

• Completing Quests: Most side quests will generously reward you with essential resources. These missions provide a straightforward way to boost your stockpile.
• Looting Chests: When venturing into restricted areas or castles, use the L2 or LT button to scan your surroundings. You'll notice golden and white orbs marking chests and other lootable caches. Keep an eye out for large resource caches, which you can tag for your scouts to smuggle back to your base.
• Completing Contracts: For the most efficient resource farming, focus on Contracts. These specialized missions are key to amassing wood, minerals, crops, and even metal and silk needed for weapon and armor upgrades.

Completing Contracts

As you develop your base, you'll unlock the opportunity to construct a Kakurega building within your Hideout. This addition not only increases your scout numbers but also grants access to Contracts. These optional quests are designed to help you gather the resources necessary for significant upgrades.

Navigate to the Kakurega building and interact with the small table inside to browse available Contracts. Once you accept a Contract, locate it on your map using the katana icon. Completing these quests will yield substantial amounts of resources, making them an invaluable strategy for those looking to enhance their Hideout significantly.

By following these methods, you'll be well on your way to efficiently gathering resources in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed guides, be sure to check out The Escapist.
