Mon is the core in-game currency in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. You will need to use it for a lot of things in the action-adventure title, with its most important use being bribing other NPCs in order to get more intel on your target.
Mons is also used in purchasing key crafting materials like Wood which can be used to upgrade certain portions of the Hideout some of which can even let you increase the total number of Scouts that you can retain. You can also buy Hideout decorations with the currency which will let you customize the place in whichever way that you want.
So if you are looking for the best ways of obtaining Mon in AC Shadows, then the guide below will help you out.
How to get more Mon fast in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
There are multiple methods of earning Mon in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, however, the list below goes over the best amongst them, which will make farming the resources considerably faster and easier.
1) Complete Contracts
Completing the various contracts in the game is indeed one of the best ways of earning Mon. You will be able to pick up some contrast in the Kakurega of your Hideout and to complete them, you will first need to solve the clues to reveal your target.
If the objective clues are vague, you will need to send out scouts in the area who will then return with more information, eventually revealing who your next target it. Once you have completed a contract you will either get a fair amount of Mon or other valuable resources and materials. So check the rewards list before taking on the quest.
2) Defeat and loot Ronin
The Ronin you meet out in the open world usually carries a fair bit of Mon and other valuable resources with them which also include consumable weapons like Kunai. So kill them and don’t forget to loot their corpses.
Ronin are encountered through exploration and when you are completing quests and missions. So take them out and secure yourself some good amount of Mon.
3) Sell the items you don’t need
As you explore the open world and keep completing side quests and main missions you will eventually rack up a lot of loot that you will have no use for. You can either break these items down for more crafting materials, or you can sell them for a good chunk of Mon.
You can sell the unwanted items by talking to a trader or merchant. Then make your way to the Sell tab in the pop-up menu. Here you will find the list of items that you can currently sell.
At the bottom, you will find a list of all the valuables that you have obtained throughout your time in the game. Valuables sell for the most amount of Mon, so if you particularly have no use for them, make sure to do away with them.
4) Open every chest
Make sure to open and loot every chest that you come across in AC Shadows. Chests are a great source of loot as well as Mon. However, do keep in mind that all chests might not contain Mon. So loot every chest that you come across. Much of this loot is likely going to be items as well that you don’t need, which you can further sell-off for more currency.
