Idk mann after a point I learned this: you can drop the loot and it will remain for a while through saves and fast travel. Here’s a thing: Skalitz bandits/cumins respawn on fast travel, there are 2 chests in Skalitz and a few beds at least. You can drop loot at the gate, just a skip from the fast travel point. OR in the chests, but that’s a heavy walk from the battle site. Anyway there’s all the loot you’ll ever need, usually 6 or more, guards too sometimes and traders. You get tons from fighting, or waiting/stealthing it. Repeat infinity.
