Broke in Ancient Greece? A Hilarious Guide to Getting Resources in Assassin's Creed Odyssey
You've braved mythical creatures, romanced history's hottest heroes (or villains, no judgement), and conquered entire fortresses. But there's one enemy that haunts every Misthios: the dreaded resource grind. Fear not, fellow demigod, because this guide will turn you from a drachma-less disaster to a resource rockstar, faster than you can say "Malaka!"
How To Get Resources Ac Odyssey |
Where'd all my money go?
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.![]()
Let's be honest, upgrading that fancy new armor or unleashing your inner Poseidon with a spiffy ship skin can drain your wallet faster than a Spartan shower (which, by the way, was basically just a bucket of cold water. Not exactly luxurious). But fear not! There are more ways to get resources in Assassin's Creed Odyssey than there are philosophers arguing in Athens.
Become a Hoarder with a Heart of Gold (or Wood, or Leather...)
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.![]()
-
Loot Like a Loot-Loving Looter: This one's a classic. Every enemy, chest, and destructible object has the potential to cough up precious resources. Think of yourself as a historical sanitation worker, cleaning up Greece one glittering helmet at a time.
-
The Dismantle Hustle: Got a collection of mismatched greaves that look like they belong on a disco ball? Dismantle that bad boy! Turning unwanted gear into crafting materials is like magic, only without the creepy chanting (although feel free to add some for dramatic effect).
Become a One-Person Recycling Center
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.![]()
-
Shipwrecks are Treasure Chests (Except Bigger): Those unfortunate souls who met Poseidon the wrong way often leave behind a bounty of goodies. Set sail, sink some ships, and become the wealthiest pirate (or privateer, if you prefer a more "legitimate" sounding term) the Aegean Sea has ever seen!
-
Those Pesky Trees and Rocks? Not So Pesky Now: While they may not fight back, gathering wood and metal from the environment is a steady, if slightly dull, way to build your resource reserves. Just imagine you're preparing for a particularly epic bonfire...with pointy objects.
Bonus Round: Shady, But Effective Tactics
- Bounty Hunting: From Zero to Hero (With a Full Wallet): Taking down mercenaries and completing bounties nets you a hefty chunk of resources. Just remember, some of these folks might have been your BFFs two quests ago...awkward.
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.![]()
Remember, My Fellow Demigod:
-
Invest in Your Mercenary Tiers: Climbing the mercenary ladder unlocks perks that boost your resource gain, making the grind a little less painful (and a lot more profitable).
-
Shop Around: Blacksmiths have different prices, so don't be afraid to haggle (metaphorically, of course. Violence against shopkeepers is generally frowned upon).
With these tips and a little elbow grease (or swordsmanship), you'll be swimming in resources before you can say "Drachmas for days!" Now get out there and conquer Greece, both militarily and financially!
