Few containers in Cyrodiil are safe containers and are not reset. Items placed in a safe container will remain there, even if you do not visit that zone for a long period of time. Additionally, NPC characters will not remove items from safe containers, with two exceptions:

• Mazoga the Orc will eat food out of the containers in the White Stallion Lodge.
• There is an enchanted chest in the Arch-Mage's Quarters of the Arcane University. Once you put a compatible ingredient in, after one day 10 more of those ingredients will be added. Remember that although this chest multiplies ingredients, it is not a safe container. After one week everything in it will disappear.

There are a few types of containers that are safe, no matter where you find them:

• Clams-- There are 321 clams in the game, found underwater in various bodies of water. Seven can be found just outside the entrance to the Imperial Prison Sewers, when you first finish the Tutorial.
• Torn Sacks of Grain-- Labeled "A Torn Sack of Grain", there are 91 that exist in the game.
• Open-topped Grain Sacks-- There are 520 such containers, all labeled "Sack". When you first find them they will either contain 5 identical samples of a grain (Corn, Flour, Rice, or Wheat Grain) or be empty. A large number of other sacks are also safe containers, but cannot be safely identified visually.
• Jewlery Boxes
• Silver and Gold Veins
• Lecterns-- All lecterns labeled as "Lectern".

Two quests will result in a previously-safe container being removed, leading to the loss of everything inside it.

[edit] Houses

All houses that you officially acquire have safe containers, with the exception of the house in Anvil. Since you can enter the house before you complete the related quest in which you acquire ownership of the house, Where Spirits Have Lease, some of the containers found inside are not initially safe. Containers that have been identified as unsafe are the overturned drawers near the entrance and the cupboard in the southwest corner of the dining room. These containers disappear when Velwyn cleans up the house at the end of the quest. Take caution, as there may be other containers that disappear or reset. The cupboard in the north west corner of the sitting area is safe.
