How to Get Resources Fast in Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Wood, Minerals, Crops)

Mastering Assassin's Creed Shadows' open-world RPG mechanics requires consistent upgrades to your character and Hideout. This guide outlines efficient resource acquisition strategies.

How to Quickly Acquire Wood, Minerals, and Crops in Assassin's Creed Shadows

There are three primary methods for gathering Hideout resources: completing quests, fulfilling Contracts, and looting chests. Quest completion and chest looting are straightforward. Many side quests generously reward resources, and exploring restricted areas (castles, etc.) often yields valuable loot. While exploring these areas, utilize the L2 or LT button to highlight chests and other hidden caches indicated by golden and white orbs. You'll also occasionally uncover large resource caches, which can be tagged for your scouts to retrieve.

However, for truly efficient resource farming, focus on completing Contracts.

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, essential for upgrading your equipment.

Access your Contracts from the Kakurega building's small table within your Hideout. Accept a Contract, and its location will be marked on your map with a katana icon. Completing these quests is highly recommended for efficient Hideout upgrades.
