Acquiring Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, there are three primary methods for collecting Hideout resources:

• Completing quests
• Fulfilling Contracts
• Looting hidden chests

Quest rewards and chest looting are straightforward. Side quests often provide generous resource payouts, while restricted areas hold valuable treasures. Use L2/LT to scan environments for golden and white orbs marking lootable chests.

Occasionally, you'll discover substantial resource caches that can be tagged for your scouts to retrieve.

For optimal resource farming, prioritizing Contracts yields the best results.

Mastering Contract Completion

As your Hideout expands, constructing the Kakurega building unlocks additional scouts and Contracts. These specialized missions provide essential materials – wood, minerals, crops, metals, and silk – crucial for weapon and armor enhancements.

Access Contracts by interacting with the Kakurega's mission table, then track katana-marked objectives on your map. Their substantial resource rewards make Contracts indispensable for significant Hideout upgrades.
