Assassin’s Creed Shadows has only one in-game currency known as Mon. This is used for everything from buying gear at vendors, to upgrading weapons and armor. While many activities grant Mon as a reward, it is still relatively hard to accumulate without expending some measure of time and effort.
This guide details the best ways to earn Mon quickly and efficiently in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Castles
Castles make for great sources of Mon in a nice, concentrated location. Not only are there lootable chests scattered about the area, slaying the enemies and Samurai Daisho grants a significant sum of Mon in total as well. These locations are also great sources for XP and gear, which itself can be sold for additional Mon.
Enemy Hotspots
These locations are rife with enemies as well as lootable chests. While Mon pickings might be slim from the enemies themselves, they may be carrying Valuables which can be traded away from cold, hard cash.
Trading Valuables
These unusable items have no value besides their worth in Mon, so avoid holding on to them unnecessarily. You will likely pick these up from a wide range of activities including Ronin encounters, various chests, and general combat and exploration.
Trading Items
You will be picking up a lot of gear over the course of the game, so avoid getting overly attached to anything that is not immediately useful. Trade these items away for their Mon value as often as possible to avoid unnecessary clutter.
Ronin
While random, encounters with these wanderers can be turned into some quick cash, simply by slaying and then looting their corpses. While Mon is a staple, they may also be carrying a sellable item that you can convert to currency later.
Hideout Contracts
Contracting can serve as a significant source of Mon. You will have to keep an eye on the job boards for the specific contracts that reward you with Mon, as these tend to be somewhat random. Be sure to check them out as each new season rolls around.
That is every method for farming money fast in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
