Animus tasks in Assassin’s Creed Shadows are part of a broader system that includes weekly anomalies.
These anomalies are time-sensitive quests, as a result, players must complete specific objectives.
Nevertheless, in Assassin’s Creed(AC) Shadows, one of the Animus tasks is to gather oakwood.
Resource Boxes In AC Shadows To Gather Oakwood
One of the simplest ways to gather oakwood is by searching through resource boxes scattered throughout the game world.
Resource boxes include a mix of resource materials which usually consist of hemp, cloth, leather, iron sand along with oak wood.

Generally, players can find them in enemy camps which enables successful exploration during your resource collection duties.
While it may take some luck to find oakwood in these boxes, they are a reliable source.
Port Traders And Seasonal Contracts
For a more direct approach, you can switch to Yasuke and visit any port trader.
Port traders offer oakwood for purchase, making this method quick and efficient if you have the necessary resources to buy it.
Another option is to complete contracts that reset every season.

Not only will you obtain oakwood, but you’ll also earn experience points (XP), which are beneficial for character progression.
This method is ideal if you’re looking to level up while gathering resources.
Nevertheless, completing these tasks rewards players with special currencies and experience points (XP) and unlocks rewards in the Legacy path.
