Best methods for Samurai riches
Every shinobi and samurai craves gold in Assassin’s Creed Shadows and it is equally important for the players as well. This is one of the best ways to upgrade your tool in the game.
In this article, we will talk about some of the best methods through which you can get gold very easily in the game.
Best methods and places to get gold in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Here are some of the best methods through which you can get gold in the game:
- Trading with Itinerant Vendors
- Completing Contracts
- Taking Down Bandits
- Assassinating Mini-Bosses
- Swapping Keys in the Animus
The golds are very stingy and don’t expect to hit any jackpot at any point. Expect one or two pieces every time and use these strategies to stack them up.

Trade with itinerant vendors
Wandering traders, such as the Port Trader I met in Osaka, occasionally stock gold. Prices vary depending on the vendor and the season, so if your coin pouch is heavy, look at Yamashiro or Harima for potential deals.
Tackle Contracts
When you unlock a Hideout, the Settsu Board will open Contracts. Some tasks, such as silencing a target or torching supplies, offer gold as a reward. They’re rapid hits that allow for consistent increases without breaking a sweat.
Hunt Bandits in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Each region’s Objective hub hosts bandit-slaying events. After defeating 100 bandits, the Out to Pasture task in Settsu’s People sector awarded me with gold. Check-in with locals after the quest—some offer extra Gold for hitting their targets. This is my personal favorite method in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Take Out Mini-Bosses
Samurai Daisho, the mini-bosses that lurk in castles like Katano, can cough up gold. Identify their unique boss icon, raid their territory, and strike.
Use the Animus Exchange
Menu-dive into the Animus Exchange. Stabilize Anomalies for Data Fragments, then trade them for Keys, which you can then use on Projects (think battle pass tiers) to get Gold. It’s a slow burn, but free if you’re investigating.
