Summary
ASkyrimplayer online has learned an incredibly painful lesson, which has resulted in them losing tons of in-game resources. This is one error that manySkyrimplayers make at least once, before never repeating it as a result of the steep consequences.
It’s fun to see players learning what is and isn’t possible inSkyrimover 13 years after launch. At this point, most of the game’s biggest secrets have already been discovered, but that doesn’t stop players from looking to try new things to get an edge during their adventure. For example, oneSkyrimplayer was able to reach an absurd level without leaving the starting area, showing that gamers don’t necessarily have to make big progress in order to level their skills. As the game continues to age, players are likely to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible inSkyrim. However, it doesn’t always work out well for some gamers.
Redditor HelloW0rldBye was left to rue their massive mistake, after choosing to store their ore, leather, and gems in some of the exterior Whiterun barrels inSkyrim. After leaving their resources in these barrels, they came back one day to find just carrots, with the items having despawned. One player claimed it was a “rookie mistake, and you hate to see it,” while another pointed out thatSkyrim’s loading screensactually have a warning hint telling players about this exact issue.
Skyrim Player Loses Tons of Resources After Storing Them In the Wrong Place
StoringSkyrimloot in Whiterun barrelsis actually a viable strategy to get extra storage, but players must be aware that they despawn after 30 days of in-game time. This makes it far too easy to forget about and accidentally lose these items, which is why it’s not a great place to store a massive amount of valuable resources. It’s a clever trick, for sure, but it should only ever be used as a temporary measure, as HelloW0rldBye has learned the hard way. These Whiterun barrels are located right next to the player-owned home Breezehome, so for most players, it shouldn’t ever be necessary to use them, anyway.
A big reason players continue to playSkyrimis Bethesda’s lack ofupdates about the development ofThe Elder Scrolls 6. The studio has remained largely radio-silent about the game, leading to tons of rumors about what the next installment of the long-running RPG series will entail. WithStarfieldnow long in the rear-view mirror, hopefully the studio will be ready to talk aboutThe Elder Scrolls 6soon enough.
