I have about 41 Rat Meat in my Inventory and its taking up alot of inventory space. Is Rat meat a useful ingredient? Or should I just sell it .

Useful for making an effective poison against mage NPCs. Mixed with bergamot seeds it damages magicka and it silence them IIRC.

Yea. But Its taking up alot of inventory space. You got any idea where I get a storage. I don't have enough money for an house.. =(

Any open-topped sack of grain should be non-respawning. You can find tons in the Market District of the IC. Or use clamshell. Those do not respawn either.

I just drop stuff on the ground if I'm over encumbered. I haven't had anything dissapear on me yet in the game, so I'm fairly sure that's okay.

hmm yes just dive into lake rumare, find a clam shell and stuff all you armour and possesions into it

made me laugh , but i sort of think thats a bit flawed, i mean how do you stuff 41 pieces of rat meat into a tiny shell?!?!

There are some safe containers in the game you can store your stuff in.

There's one particular hiding-place in the imperial city that's very useful.... hmmmm possible spoiler, it appears in one of the faction quests:

rat meats good for training alchemy in the beginning

One of my former characters, Luci Pheria, was in the habit of EATING rat's meat. :yuck: This shocked the hell out of me when she was first going thru the Tutorial. She killed a rat, and couldn't wait to cook it up and eat it. :yuck: She spent like 3 game days in the Tutorial, doing nothing but eating rat's meat and wisp stalks! :nope:

*snickers* ... Prison guards must have kept her meals.

I don't use alchemy much myself, at least on most characters. So I usually don't bother with rat meat. It's heavy and it isn't worth very much. I guess... sell it? :shrug:

It works! Only in Tamriel of course.
