Use the following trick to store items that you do not want to carry in your inventory. Enter the Inn in Skellige and go to a corner in the room. Drop all your items at once and will appear as a bag on the floor. You can return to retrieve them whenever desired. To add something else to the pile, pick up the bag, and then drop it again after it has the additional item.
Before crossing the Woesong Bridge to leave the town of Midcopse, jump over the fence to enter a grass pasture with some cows. Kill all the cows at that location. Consider using fire magic instead of your sword to not have to chase them. Then, meditate for over two hours where you killed them by pausing game play, selecting "Meditation", and advancing the time by two hours. This will force the cows to respawn. Kill the cows again and repeat the process to accumulate a large amount of cow hides, as well as meat for healing. When satisfied, find the merchant near the road next to the cow pasture. Talk to the merchant, then select the "Other" tab from his shop's inventory to find the "Cow Hide" option to sell all of your hides to him. Repeat the process as many times as desired.
All monster nests can be looted numerous times. This has worked on every revision of the game including the current version 1.08. Find a monster nest. Kill the monsters and destroy the nest with a bomb as usual. The trick now is 2 fold- 1. Loot the nest but NEVER take out all the loot- leave ONE item in the nest. If you take all of the items it will NOT respawn. 2. Once you have looted the nest, leaving one item still inside, rotate your camera so the "x" to loot the nest disappears off the screen. You can run around to make it go off screen BUT the fastest way is to stand in a spot where simply rotating the camera makes the "x" to loot the nest go off camera/screen. As you look back at the nest so the "x" is on screen- loot again! And repeat- always leaving one item in the nest. I find it easiest to stand in front of the nest where simply rotating the camera 360 degrees every time I loot causes the respawn. WAY faster than moving around. The number of times you can loot the nest is relative to how long the nest would spawn monsters if you were killing the spawned monsters but did not blow the nest up. You can easily loot a nest 70-80 times.
Purchase and equip the indicated item to Roach to gain the corresponding effect.
