This allows Naoe and Yasuke to prepare for a nighttime assault and be ready to strike Castle at night.6) Improved scoutsUpgrading the Study to level 4 now allows Scouts to reveal both Viewpoints and Safehouses.Discovering Safehouses is especially valuable, as it enables Naoe and Yasuke to join the action more quickly by reducing their travel time.With the Kakurega upgraded to level 4, uncovering all Viewpoints within a province will also reveal the entire province automatically, giving players full visibility of its terrain and strategic locations.Also read: Scouts in AC Shadows (how to refill and increase the maximum count)7) Enhanced gear qualityBy upgrading the Forge to level 6, Naoe and Yasuke gain the ability to enhance their gear to new quality tiers: Mythic and Artifact. Once an item reaches a new quality, it can be further upgraded through eight additional levels to unlock its full potential.Epic items can be transformed into Mythic items, which improve their stats with each level, add a Boosted Stat if one wasn't present, and boost non-legendary perks, including the one in the engraving slot, by 50% at level 5 and 100% at level 9. (For perks related to damage reduction, refill ration, ammo, or tools, this bonus is halved, capping at a 50% increase at level 9.)Legendary items can evolve into Artifact items, which not only increase their stats with each level but also receive additional Boosted Stats at levels 3, 7, and twice at level 9. Engraved non-legendary perks are also boosted, like the Mythic items.These powerful enhancements are designed as long-term goals, supporting players through the increasing difficulty of subsequent New Game+ cycles and other upcoming challenges.8) New Project: SanctuaryNew Project: Sanctuary in Assassin's Creed Shadows (Image via Ubisoft)Ubisoft is releasing a new Project available in the Animus HUB, called Sanctuary, in which you can get Ezio-themed gear, a kusarigama, and much more.
