How do you make money in Assassin’s Creed Shadows? Heading up and expanding a shinobi league across Japan doesn’t come cheap, and you’re going to need plenty of coin to pay for it all.
Whether you’re training your AC Shadows allies, buying up Kakuregas, or upgrading that sweet piece of AC Shadows Legendary gear you just found, Assassin’s Creed Shadows makes you work hard for it. Below, we lay out the main methods of making AC Shadows Mon – the open-world RPG game’s clipped currency – so you can begin building your feudal empire.
How to make money in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
There are three primary methods of making money in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: smuggling, Kakurega contracts, and looting.
Smuggling
The closest thing you’ll get to passive income is taking advantage of your AC Shadows scouts to bring home the bacon once you’ve tagged goods on the Shadows map to be smuggled. Typically, they’ll only come back with AC Shadows resources that can be used to improve your Hideout, but you’ll sometimes get a few Mon thrown into the chest back at base for good measure.
Contracts
Contracts can be taken out from the various Kakuregas you find on your journey – helpful considering Kakuregas cost a hefty 800 Mon a pop to open. These contracts are both region and season-locked, so you won’t be able to farm a ton of Mon, but they are the most consistent way of making money. Your earning potential will also scale as you venture into new regions, so get exploring.
Looting
While you can loot Mon from the myriad chests, casks, corpses, etc. strewn across the land, you’ll oftentimes find yourself picking up valuables that can be pawned off to the numerous vendors you’ll encounter. They typically don’t sell for much, so consider them a pleasant little extra on the side of your other hustles.
And those are the known methods for making money in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Check back later as we’ll be sure to share any super spicy ways to quickly cultivate Mon we discover. In the meantime, we can wait and see if any AC Shadows mods appear that’ll do the hard work for us. For more top Shadows content from us, peep our comprehensive AC Shadows guides hub.
