[BUG] Dropped Witcher gear disappears after time
Since there's no storage option like a chest or something to drop items you want to keep but don't want to carry it with you all the time, I'm using the game mechanics that allow you to drop items on the ground and game remembers that so the items always stay there, so I just drop items I want to keep close to fast travel point, mostly in the Novigrad's market. That mechanics woks fine for every item except witcher gear. I played through the whole second half of my first playthrough while having about 300 items (books, letters, trophies, unique swords and armors) dropped in one area divided to few stacks. Even some random items from the fights I had to drop because I reached the limit have been in the same exact spot through the whole game, but when now on my second playthrough I dropped some witcher gear and I got back there later it was gone. I lost this way my Kaer Mohren armor with the rest of the default set (unique even there are items with the same name) and two starting swords.
