How to Store Items in Oblivion Remastered: 5 Tricks You Need to Know! 🗝️💼
If you've decided to explore Cyrodiil again, you're probably wondering how to store items in Oblivion RemasteredOverload is the enemy of those venturing into this sprawling open-world RPG, as it indicates carrying too many items and limits your ability to move quickly or fast travel.
Although increasing your maximum load is possible by investing in the Strength attribute (see my guide on How to level up in Oblivion Remastered for more tips), this process is slow. In the meantime, learning how to store items properly will prevent your most valuable loot from being left lying around in some dungeon. Whether in special chests or personal boxes, here are the best ways to store items in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

Want to know how to physically store your items in Oblivion Remastered? First, find a suitable location (more on that later). On PC, press the 'Search' button to access your storage inventory. On PS5 or Xbox Series X, press the right stick on the inventory screen to 'Search,' which will allow you to freely transfer items between your inventory and the container.

There are many places to store items in Oblivion Remastered. While throwing things on the ground can keep them for a while, they'll eventually disappear or be claimed by NPCs. Therefore, it's vital to find safe spaces for your loot, weapons, and armor that you don't want to lose and that you plan to sell to wealthy merchants.
Any container called a 'Bag' in the game can be used to store items, but here are five of the best places to store items in the early stages of the game.
Jauffre's Chest at Weynon Priory

After leaving the sewers, the first quest will have you returning the Amulet of Kings to Jauffre at Weynon Priory. You can fast travel or enjoy the journey, but when you arrive, enlist the help of the Grandmaster of the Blades to unlock a chest full of useful items. The best part is that you can use Jauffre's Chest to store your own items!
Please note that this chest may become inaccessible if the Brotherhood of the Dawning Myth attacks the location after completing Kvatch's Oblivion Portal quest.
At the White Stallion Lodge
At the start of the game, go to Leyawiin City and complete the White Stallion Knights quest. Speak with Count Marius Caro to become a Knight Errant and seek out Black Brugo to complete the trials. Then, return to Leyawiin Castle where the Count will give you access to the White Stallion Lodge.
In this location, you'll find plenty of sacks to safely store non-perishable items and protect your loot.
In the Hollow Trunk

If you need a quick place to drop items, visit the Hollow Log in the Imperial City. Head to the market district as if you were going to buy My Imperial House and cross over to the Imperial Trade Office. In an alley next to Rindir's Staffs, you'll find a small garden with a hollow log behind it, where you can store items without them being stolen or disappearing. A perfect secret hiding place for your treasures.
In 'My Imperial House'
The best place to store items in Oblivion Remastered is to buy your own house. While houses in larger cities tend to be expensive, "My Imperial House" in the Imperial City's Waterfront District is an affordable option for around 2,000 gold, provided you're willing enough to negotiate with Vinicia Melissaeia at the Imperial Trade Office.
Then, purchase Storage Plans from Three Brothers Trade Goods and you'll be able to store items safely without fear of theft or loss.
If you explore near Weynon Priory along the northern road from the sewers, you'll find the Aleswell Inn. The villagers there are invisible and will ask for your help to fix the problem. Complete the Zero Visibility side quest with the Detect Life spell and you'll get a free room forever.
Go upstairs and turn left to find your own storage chest where you can store items without worry.
