In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the Mon currency is indispensable for acquiring gear, Kakurega, cosmetics, and replenishing Scouts. To keep your resources flowing, here's how to earn Mon quickly and efficiently.
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, you can earn Mon through various activities, both directly and indirectly. One straightforward method is by completing contracts, where the amount of Mon you'll receive is clearly displayed on the quest icon. Additionally, looting is a reliable way to amass Mon. Throughout the game, you'll encounter numerous chests and defeated enemies, both of which can yield Mon upon looting.
Another lucrative avenue is selling items. The vast world of Feudal Japan is filled with gear that can be sold to vendors scattered across the map. Whether it's weapons, armor, or even excess hideout resources and crafting materials, selling these items can significantly boost your Mon reserves. You'll also come across Valuables, items with no practical use other than being sold. These can be sold in bulk to vendors and merchants, making it an easy way to convert them into Mon.
The most efficient strategy to earn Mon swiftly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* involves combining multiple methods. The top approach is tackling Castle side activities. Across the game's Feudal Japan setting, various enemy-occupied Castles offer multiple opportunities to earn Mon quickly, especially with Naoe’s stealth abilities. These Castles are teeming with enemies, including Samurai Daisho, who carry larger sums of Mon.
Besides the enemies, Castles are packed with loot, including chests that contain Mon directly or items like weapons, armor, and valuables that you can sell later. To maximize your Mon earnings, sneak into a Castle as Naoe, use your focus and eagle's vision to locate chests and enemies, and then proceed to loot and assassinate. After clearing a Castle, head to the nearest Gear Vendor or Port Trader to sell your loot and convert it into Mon.
If you exhaust the available Castles or can't find any on your map, supplementing your income by selling gear and completing contracts with Mon rewards remains an effective strategy.
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, offering you ample opportunities to amass Mon and enhance your gameplay experience.
