Poetsword: I found secret part of the merchant guild in Ravenshore and was told by the NPC that I could use the facilities. I was like, cool, I'm a storage hog and I thought I could store spells and Regents and stuff there. Well, as you probably know *poof* when it respawned I lost all my stuff. Fortunately nothing too serious, I have a major cash flow surplus goin' on. Is there an area to store items indefinitely?
Why aren't you using the NPC's at the inn. You will have many join you, only to stay at the Inn since you can only have 5 in your party. Many npc's you will never use, so, use them for storage.
Use one for storing weapons...another for armor... another for different magic items and so on...
They NEVER respawn so you will never loose your goodies. Have played MM8 a bunch a times and do this everytime. I'm a pack rat and these NPC's come in handy.
Have also stored Korbu's coffin at the Inn while I gathered other items... I have one NPC hold all Quest items....Never a problem with getting them back when I want them. Everything, always there when needed....
