Saver & GeraltX
Hey Geralt, I was thinking about how you keep those rare alchemy ingredients safe and how you might keep your loot budgeted—any tips on making sure both your supplies and your purse stay protected?
I keep the ingredients in double‑sealed vials that fit in a hidden pocket of my cloak, and I only bring what I need for a hunt. I mark each vial with a rune so I know its value and keep a small ledger in my pocket. For loot I stash most of it in a locked chest on my wagon, only taking what I must carry. I split the rest with trustworthy allies so the purse stays lean and the supplies stay protected.
Sounds like a solid plan, Geralt. Just make sure you’ve got a backup copy of that ledger somewhere safe—maybe a digital note in a secure cloud—so you don’t lose track if something happens to the pocket. Also, keeping a tiny emergency reserve in a separate, discreet location could save you from unexpected setbacks. How do you manage that part?
I keep a spare ledger carved in a stone plaque on a balcony of a trusted inn, and I note the totals on a simple sheet that fits inside a hollowed bone. The emergency stash goes in a small iron case sewn into the lining of my boots, only a few silver coins and a few dozen herbs. If the pocket goes, the case is in the inn, the stone plaque is out of sight, and the rest is in the case—nothing I can’t find when I need it.
Great, Geralt—having layers of redundancy is exactly the kind of thoroughness that keeps things running smoothly. Just double‑check the iron case’s seal often; a tiny crack can sneak out a coin or herb without you noticing. And maybe add a small, extra‑small pouch inside the inn’s stone plaque for a one‑time emergency, like a quick coin of silver to cover a sudden need. That way you’ve got a truly foolproof buffer.
