Goolwar Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi, Any draw back in using caves as home and stash your loots there? Unless the game resets and wipes out items in a certain place when you reenter, then I think it's a great way to save 5K of hard-earned gold coin. Any comment is appreciated. Thanks.

mgordon Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I wouldn't know about that, but I have a question for you in return. What do you plan on doing with all that hard earned gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgordon Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) This information might be useful to you. Benefits of Home-Owning Owning a house comes with several benefits. You must be approved by the local Jarl of each major city, then a home can be purchased and decorated by the Steward. 1. Each house includes non-respawning containers where items can be safely stored. 2. Sleeping in a bed you own gives a temporary boost to your Health and Magicka. 3. If married, your spouse will wait for you in your house. 4. There is no limit to the amount of houses you can own. I'm assuming that number 1 means that if you leave your junk lying around, it will eventually re-spawn to where it came from. It's good to see that you can see my point. I can see it now. "Hey guys, I have 10 billion gazillion gold. But I live in a cave. It's nice and cozy. The ceiling drips a bit, but there's all these burial urns lying around to catch the water."

marharth Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Using a cave as a home should not work. Cells reset and it would wipe everything. It might work if you do setownership (not sure if that command exists in skyrim) on every container you put your stuff in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanusForbeare Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Setting ownership will not keep containers from respawning. It will simply keep NPCs from reporting you when you interact with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimF Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Why not join a college of Winterhold? It's a nice location with lots of loot, five containers, bed, and many other conveniences. Not to mention it's completely free - and a mage is going to spend a lot on those spelltomes, enchanted equipment and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surg23 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I stashed a load of gear in an open cave at the very start of my game, i couldn't tell you if it was still there because i never went back for it, i assume not. Well this is not quite a cave, but it might be the next best thing: The halted stream mine, near Whiterun has a chest that doesn't seem to delete your gear. Worked for me and i left my gear there for at least 15 days. All you need to do is kill all the bandits there and the place pretty much becomes yours. Use at your own risk.

mclericp Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 You can try storing ur loot in various giant camps. The one near duskman cairn in whiterun(where u and farkas had to go adventure) doesnt respawn(i think). I left some loot there as a test and 1 month later i came back, they were still there. offtopic: i like to store my items, stolen goods, skooma( i m a skooma addict :P), stolen people's clothes(pickpocket lv 100) etc etc in my house in whiterun. But i just go around sleeping in other people's beds and bedrolls etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
