Assassin's Creed III Hunting and Homestead: pelts, artisans and trade
Connect animal hunting with the Homestead’s crafting and convoy economy.
Edition covered
Original 2012 main campaign and original PC publisher screenshots. Remastered interface changes, Liberation and The Tyranny of King Washington expansion are outside these base-game tables.
Preserve the quality of animal goods
Weapon choice affects the condition of hunting products. A firearm is convenient but can damage the saleable result; use quieter hunting tools and inspect clues to predict where an animal will appear.
| Tool or action | Purpose | Result to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Animal clue | Reveals local animal activity | Helps choose a hunting area |
| Bait | Attracts an animal | Creates a prepared approach |
| Snare | Traps small prey | Return to collect the catch |
| Bow or hidden blade approach | Avoids gunfire damage to goods | Requires positioning and a clean attempt |
Combine bait with a planned approach
Bait attracts animals and snares can be placed along suitable paths. Work from concealment or higher ground so the animal reaches the prepared area before it notices Connor.
| System | Input | Output or benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Recruitment mission | Help a prospective resident | Adds a Homestead resident |
| Artisan mission | Progress the resident’s story | Develops crafting capability |
| Crafting | Recipe, materials and required artisans | Tradeable or useful crafted goods |
| Convoy trading | Stock and an available route | Income with route-specific risk |
Recruit before expecting recipes
Homestead residents provide materials and crafting capabilities. Recruitment and their later missions develop the settlement, while recipes can also require specific artisan levels or resources.
Check convoy risk before sending goods
Use the accounting book to manage stockpiles, crafting and trading. A high sale price is only one part of a convoy decision: route risk and the goods available to replace a lost shipment also matter.
