In Oblivion Remastered, storing items safely requires using specific containers or owning a house, as many containers will reset and cause items to disappear after a few days.
Where to Store Items in Oblivion Remastered
1. Jauffre's Chest at Weynon Priory
Early in the game, after delivering the Amulet of Kings to Jauffre, you can
ask him for "assistance." He will unlock a chest next to his desk that you can
use for permanent storage. Items placed here will not disappear, but be aware
that after progressing past the Kvatch Oblivion Gate quest, the Mythic Dawn
attack will make this chest inaccessible
. 2. Purchase Your Own House
Buying a house is the most reliable way to get permanent storage. The cheapest
option is My Imperial House , a shack in the Waterfront District of the
Imperial City, which costs about 2,000 Gold. After purchase, you must buy Home
Storage Plans from Sergius at Three Brothers Trade Goods to enable storage
containers inside the house. This provides a safe place to store all your
items without fear of loss
. 3. Hollow Tree Stump in Imperial City
A hidden but convenient permanent storage spot is a hollow tree stump behind
Rindir's Staffs in the Market District of the Imperial City. Items placed here
remain permanently and the location is easy to access in the city center
. 4. Sacks
Any container labeled simply as "Sack" is safe for permanent storage. These
are scattered throughout the game world and can be used if you remember their
locations. It’s helpful to mark their locations on your map for easy retrieval
later
. 5. Other Locations
- The Aleswell Inn north of the Imperial City offers early safe storage
- Completing the "Zero Visibility" quest grants you a permanent room at the Roxey Inn, which has drawers that act as safe storage
- Castle Leyawiin’s White Stallion Lodge contains many sacks that can be used for storage after completing the Knights of the White Stallion questline
How to Store Items in Containers
To store items, open a container and use the search function to switch to your inventory, then move items into the container. However, only containers in owned houses, Jauffre’s chest, sacks, or the hollow tree stump guarantee permanent storage. Other containers may delete items after a few in-game days
. In summary, for permanent and safe item storage in Oblivion Remastered, the best options are Jauffre’s chest (early game), purchasing and upgrading a house (long-term), the hollow tree stump in the Imperial City, and sacks scattered around the world. Avoid storing items in random containers unless you are sure they are safe, as many will reset and cause item loss
