Oblivion Question

Get the unbreakable lockpick (daedric quest) for even easier stealing.

Nice! I'll look into that.

Has anyone here gotten 100% Chameleon? I plan on doing that eventually, but not until I'm at least lvl 17.

I got that and I'm not even doing the thieves guild missions. It's just so damn convienant. I haven't bought a house yet but

Spoiler:

I have killed all the members of the Chenandyll Dark Brotherhood safe house per Lucian's instructions, so I'm stashing stuff in the chests there for now.

I don't think the stuff will last in there, though. Be careful.

Also, you can buy the house in Anvil for really cheap, IIRC. It has a quest along with it, though.

I've never had anything dissapear on me from storing it in random places. I do tend to use places I have some propriatary use over, but not always.

Yeah, I think the stuff will often stick around, but there's a chance it will get deleted. So, I wouldn't put any "can't lose" items in random places.

I'ts cool for now since I already sold all the loot I was storing in that place

Reminds me of the time right after I became the head of the Mage's Guild. I thought that since I was the Arch-Mage the Arch-Mage's quarters would technically be mine. So, I began to store stuff in the crate (not that magic one) at the end of the bed. It was working great for a while, then one time I open it up and everything was gone. I bet my neighbors heard me scream.

After that I just stored stuff on the ground in there, worked fine except for the occasional item that would glitch through the floor.

My experience has been that if you put things in containers that do not belong to you they will get deleted eventually, but if you just drop them on the ground they are fine. I literally had a boat-load of stuff stored in the boat in the imperial city waterfront. There is a cool quest related to it. When you finish it, the boat is basically yours, but again, I wouldn't risk using the chests and other containers. I just threw everything on the bed and floor, and kinda lived there until I had a house.

Actually, I forgot about this trick too: If you get either of the immortal horses (Shadowmere or the Unicorn) you can knock them unconscious and store your loot inside of thier corpse. Then after they regain consciousness, you can ride them as usual and knock them out again and reverse the process when you need to get your loot back.

[Rindu]

That worked until I lost my horse.
