Hint about storing things in containers.

Pick one in a location where nothing major is likely to happen. I ALWAYS use the table just outside the Mithrest Inn at Waulkeen's Promenade - this is an absolutely tried & tested safe option. This is the reason -

Any location which is 'reset' at any point during the game runs the risk of all the containers in it also being 'reset' - to empty or with just a few coins in. Areas where I have encountered problems include:

THERE MAY BE QUEST SPOILERS BELOW

The Copper Coronet (after the slavers quest is finished)
The Five Flagons (After bard stronghold given and again when quests finished)
Nalia's Keep (after fighter stronghold given and again when quests finished)
Mae'Var's Guild (ditto)
I expect there are other areas which are similar, but you get the picture.

I don't know if this is just a bug with my game, but I am now very wary about which containers I put stuff in. Using the above locations before all quests are completed usually results in all your hard-earned goods being changed into 1 or 2 gold when the quest is done.
