The first way Basim will learn to collect Dirham and the various crafting materials, such asIron, Components, and Leather, will be through Pickpocketing. Pickpocketing is a large piece of the gameplay in, so players will need to learn how to do so consistently quite fast.
Pickpocketing skills can be upgraded through the Trickster skill tree, which will make it slightly easier to do so without getting caught. Similarly, looting the corpses of Guards will also yield small numbers of crafting materials. The first skill in the Trickster Tree will allow Basim to collect this loot automatically.
Certain types of chests will yield larger numbers of crafting materials, while Gear Chests are mainly where players will find upgrade schematics and new items, there are two other types of chests. All chests will glow gold in Basim's Eagle Sense, but some will have an open top and are ways to refill Basim's ammo, and the rest will be closed and will hold crafting materials and Dirham. These chests are often found in Restricted Areas and occasionally in civilian areas. Others will require a Merchant Khidmah Token to unlock, and these will often yield higher amounts of materials.
Players can find Khidmah Tokens by fulfilling contracts in , which can be found in any of the Hidden One's Bureaus Bounty Boards. These Contracts are the best way to find both Tokens and crafting materials, and fulfilling the secondary objectives will provide even more.
Contracts will benefit the player by providing more Tokens for players to use to aid in quests, and by providing numerous crafting materials to make those quests even easier in .

is filled with puzzles for you to complete and one of the first you will discover is the Upper Harbor Gear Chest. There are a number of quests and puzzles for you to solve throughout your time in Baghdad and the surrounding districts including the Tales of Baghdad Quests.
In , the final Head of the Order must be found and eliminated to free Baghdad, which turns out to be the former concubine of the Caliphate, Qabiha. Qabiha is a clever woman, and the Palace is well protected when Basim seeks to infiltrate it. Doing so without getting caught will be easier said than done, and once inside the Palace, it is quite challenging to leave it without being followed by every Guard in the vicinity.
Basim's main weapon in is a sword, so it's important for him to wield one that looks good as he slices and dices through the guards of Baghdad. Unlike other recent titles, alternative weapons like axes or bow aren't present in the game, meaning that one sword or another will remain equipped throughout the entire game. None of the available blades in are entirely lacking in style, but some are more basic than others, making abandoning less glamorous options once others become available to Basim a good call.
A hallmark of any game in the series, Basim must eliminate targets throughout , one of those being Al-Mardikhwar. This target is one of the Order members at the end of the multiple Investigations that began at the Sharqiyah Bureau for the Hidden Ones in Baghdad. Finding and eliminating him will take some creativity from Basim, as well as help from the Rebels.
As you make your way through , playing as Basim, you will be tasked with eliminating several targets with the first major enemy being Al-Ghul.After infiltrating the Damascus Gate Prison early in your attention will turn to eliminating the first of five targets. With the game set in the desert, many of the locations that you will visit are settlements, and Caravanserai set just outside of Baghdad, is the one where you will find Al-Ghul.
Assassin's Creed Mirage is a return to the series' roots in a sense, bringing players to 9th Century Baghdad. But how does it stack up so far compared to the recent series entries? Here is our review in progress.
There are nine Wilderness Gear Chests scattered around the outskirts of Baghdad in . These chests contain the Hidden One Dagger and Hidden One Sword, as well as their respective Upgrade Schematics. The last three chests contain pieces for the Isu set. Each item from these chests is extremely powerful and boasts a compelling reason to acquire it, but it will be no walk in the park. All the Wilderness Gear Chests are hidden in restricted areas, making it difficult for any assassin to find them.

Daggers play a big role in , so picking the design with the best looks can have a surprisingly major impact on the game experience. Although each dagger has its own unique stats, it's possible to prioritize aesthetics thanks to a transmog system included in the game. Blacksmiths will change a weapon to have the look of another for the reasonable price of 50 dirham, so it's easy to pick a blade that has the perfect perk and make it look like one that offers a little more flair.
represents a concerted effort by developer Ubisoft to return this once immensely popular franchise back to its beloved roots. In spite of abandoning the controversial RPG-style gameplay of the past several entries in the franchise, maintains an impressive array of customization options — most significantly in the character aesthetic department. Though the latest installment in the series has a limited supply of unique outfits and costumes when compared with previous installments, the developer has evidently elected to value quality over quantity as the vast majority of 's apparel options are exceptionally well-designed — though, inevitably, some are so much better than others.
