Mastering Assassin's Creed Shadows' open-world RPG mechanics requires consistent upgrades to your character and Hideout. This guide details efficient resource acquisition strategies.
How to Quickly Gather Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin's Creed Shadows
Three primary methods exist for obtaining Hideout resources: completing quests, fulfilling Contracts, and looting chests. Quest completion and chest looting are straightforward. Many side quests generously reward resources, readily available by exploring restricted areas and castles. While exploring, utilize L2 or LT to scan your surroundings for golden and white orbs, indicating chests and other valuable loot. Occasionally, you'll discover large resource caches, taggable for your scouts to retrieve.
However, for truly efficient resource farming, Contracts are your best bet.
Completing Contracts

Constructing the Kakurega building in your Hideout unlocks access to additional scouts and Contracts—optional quests designed for resource farming. These Contracts provide substantial quantities of wood, minerals, crops, metal, and silk, crucial for upgrading weapons and armor.

Access your Contracts from the small table within the Kakurega building. Accept a Contract, and its location will be marked on your map with a katana icon. Completing these quests offers significant resource rewards, greatly accelerating your Hideout upgrades.
