Resources
How to Acquire: Available in various locations
Resources are gathered in the wild or swiped from military convoys. Scout an area with Senu to find the resource that you need. Most materials are used to upgrade gear; see the Crafting section for more information. Silica is used to activate Ancient Mechanisms found inside several tombs.
Obtain the Buy Materials ability to purchase most resources from blacksmiths and weavers—handy for finishing up remaining upgrades. Hard Leather, Pelts, and Soft Leather can be bought from Weavers. Bronze, cedarwood, and iron become available at blacksmiths. Note that shops have a limited supply of each resource that varies between merchants. These six resources can also be sold for a few drachmas, but make sure you do not need them for any upgrades first.

Arrows are invaluable for long-range attacks. Each of the four types of bows requires a unique arrow.

The maximum arrows that you can carry for each quiver level is indicated in the Max column. The first number indicates the maximum without any upgrades, while the last number is the most arrows that you can possess when the quiver if fully upgraded.
