This topic came up here very often, so I tried some things.

- went to Hatori from Skellige, entered the house, upper floor
- dropped a lot of stuff, from runes to witcher gear, herbs, etc.
- left Novigrad, went to Velen
- left Velen, went to Novigrad again
- visited Hatori's house, second floor
- picked up the things I dropped there.

After each step I meditated for 12 hours to simply pass some time.
In fact there had been four days between dropping the stuff and picking it up again (travel time not counted).

Now, there might be other places where this works (think of some ruined buildings, etc.), but Hatori, second floor really works as your stash.

EDIT:

Forgot: why Hatori?
Simply for one reason: he is one of he friendly NPC's, and his house is not visited by "random" visiters.

Hmm this might just work! I will experiment some more with this idea, ill drop some items run around do stuff, save then exit the game. Reload back into the game and see if they are still there!

From what I understand, cell re-spawn time is five days. Be very careful what you leave there.

I dropped a bit of ash next to the sign in Midcopse and went to another place in Velen, meditated for a while and came back and it was still there. Then I went to white orchard, meditated for a day or so, then came back, and it was gone.

Watch out for dropping items across play sessions (save, quit, restart) and leaving things for too long while killing things. There can only be so many persistent loot bags in the world

I'd be interested to know the long term results of this.

As others have been saying, I've found leaving items on the ground to be unreliable enough to not be viable, but it would be good to know the rules for certain. For me that's the problem, until the rules can be known for certain, that stash on the floor *could* go missing and then that's it. It's gone. paladin181's comment about a limited number of loot bags would be a problem. I've no idea if that's the case, or how many loot bags are allowed. For now I'm still holding onto some things and trying to organise selling other stuff.

Still, I'd be interested to hear how this work out.

Meditating is nothing. The test is when you reload the game. I have found this is not a long term option because loot bags disappear between sessions. Is likely built into the way loot from corpses will also disappear after a reload.

It worked for me under the mentioned circumstances.
With that much of undocumented "features" in this game it might well work in other situations, too.

Anyway, from no place to put things to one possible (maybe more) stash - still think it is worth checking.
