How to Organize and Store Your ESO Necrom Loot Book Bundle

Quick answer

Sort the bundle into three groups the day it arrives: books, paper extras, and hard goods. Store books upright and out of direct sun, keep paper extras in an acid-free folder, and display any metal or resin piece separately so it cannot scratch the books. Handle everything with clean, dry hands, and photograph the set before you shelve it so you have a record of its original condition.

A loot book bundle is easy to enjoy and surprisingly easy to ruin. The books want a stable, dry shelf; the codes and inserts want to stay flat and uncreased; and any metal or resin piece in the set wants to be somewhere it cannot knock against a spine. Treat those three needs separately and the whole bundle stays presentable for years.

This guide walks through the order that works: unpack and sort, prep the space, store the books, file the paper, display the hard goods, then set a simple maintenance routine. Each step includes the mistake that most often undoes it.

Start with a sorting station, not a shelf

Unbox onto a clean, dry table rather than straight onto a shelf. Divide everything into books, paper extras such as codes, cards, or inserts, and hard goods such as medallions or small figures. Keep the original packaging flat and intact until you have decided what stays in it. This one habit prevents the most common problem with any ESO collectible storage project: losing a small piece or creasing an insert before you have even chosen a home for it.

Photograph each group and any limited-edition numbering or certificate before anything gets filed away. If a piece is individually numbered, that number is part of its appeal and worth documenting while it is still easy to read.

• Common mistake: stacking books flat in the shipping box while you decide. Weight and humidity are what warp covers, not time on the shelf.
• Checkpoint: if you cannot name which group every item belongs to, you are not ready to store anything yet.

Prep the space before the bundle goes in

Pick a spot away from radiators, windows, and damp exterior walls. Books and paper extras care about two things more than anything else: stable humidity and no direct sun. A closed cabinet or an interior shelf is better than an open windowsill, even if the windowsill looks better in photos.

Measure the tallest book in the bundle and leave at least an inch of headroom above it. If you plan to display a companion piece nearby, give it its own footprint rather than sharing the shelf edge with the books.

• Common mistake: shelving next to a kitchen, bathroom, or basement wall where humidity swings.
• Checkpoint: the shelf should feel dry and stay out of direct light for most of the day.

Shelve the books upright and supported

Stand books vertically and keep them snug enough that they do not lean, but not so tight that you have to force them in. A bookend or a firm row of neighboring volumes does the job. If a book is oversized or unusually heavy, lay it flat on its side instead of letting it slump against a thinner neighbor.

Dust with a dry, soft cloth along the top edge of the text block, not across the cover art. If a jacket or cover has a printed finish, avoid household cleaners and abrasives; a dry cloth is enough for routine care.

• Common mistake: pulling a book off the shelf by the top of the spine. Support the text block and lift it out evenly.
• Checkpoint: no book should be leaning at an angle when you step back.

File the paper extras flat and separate

Codes, cards, and inserts should live flat in an acid-free folder or a rigid sleeve, stored in the same climate as the books. Do not fold them to fit a smaller box, and do not tape them to a wall or shelf. If a code has already been redeemed, keep the card anyway; it is part of the set and part of the record.

Label the folder with the bundle name and the date you stored it. That single line makes it easy to find later and reminds you what belongs together if the collection grows.

• Common mistake: rubber bands and paper clips. Both leave permanent marks on paper over time.
• Checkpoint: shake the folder gently. Nothing inside should slide or bend.

Display hard goods so they cannot touch the books

Metal and resin pieces are the most likely part of a bundle to cause damage, usually by falling or by being set down on a cover. Give them their own stand, tray, or shelf section with a small buffer between them and any book. If a piece has a display stand, use it rather than resting the item directly on a surface where it can roll.

Keep metal pieces dry and wipe them with a soft cloth after handling. Skin oils are the main reason a plated finish dulls over time, and a quick wipe is the whole maintenance routine.

• Common mistake: displaying a medallion or figure directly in front of the books, where it becomes a shelf-edge hazard.
• Checkpoint: nudge the shelf lightly. Nothing should shift or wobble.

Set a short maintenance routine

Twice a year, dust the shelf, check the books for lean or new marks, and confirm the paper folder is still flat and closed. That is genuinely all this needs. Rotating a display piece every few months also spreads light exposure evenly and keeps the shelf interesting.

If you move the collection, pack books flat in a rigid box with paper padding at the corners, and carry hard goods separately. Never ship or store a metal piece loose in the same box as books.

• Common mistake: waiting until something looks damaged to check on it.
• Checkpoint: put the two maintenance dates in your calendar now and you are done.

Your ESO Necrom bundle storage checklist

1. Unpack and sort into three groups: Separate the bundle into books, paper extras, and hard goods on a clean, dry table, and photograph each group including any numbering. Checkpoint: every item is assigned to a group before anything is shelved.
2. Choose a stable, low-light shelf: Pick an interior shelf away from radiators, windows, and damp walls, and leave at least an inch of headroom above the tallest book. Checkpoint: the space stays dry and out of direct sun for most of the day.
3. Stand books upright with support: Shelve vertically with a bookend or firm neighbors, lay oversized volumes flat, and dust with a dry soft cloth along the top edge. Checkpoint: nothing leans when you step back.
4. File paper extras flat: Store codes, cards, and inserts in an acid-free folder or rigid sleeve, labeled with the bundle name and storage date. Checkpoint: a gentle shake moves nothing inside.
5. Give hard goods their own footprint: Display medallions, replicas, and figures on stands or trays with a buffer from the books, and wipe them with a soft cloth after handling. Checkpoint: a light nudge to the shelf shifts nothing.
6. Schedule two check-ins a year: Dust, check for lean or new marks, confirm the paper folder is closed, and rotate display pieces to even out light exposure. Checkpoint: both dates are in your calendar.

Bundle companions worth storing alongside your books

• The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Dark Brotherhood Medallion: This limited edition medallion features the Brotherhood's Five Tenets and is finished in a black and gold dual-plating, measuring 70mm in diameter. A plated metal piece this size belongs on its own stand or tray, not loose on a shelf with books, where it can slide and scratch a cover.
• The Elder Scrolls Arena Commemorative Floppy Disk (Antique Silver Edition): Individually numbered as one of 5,000 on the reverse and finished in antique nickel, the replica comes with a display stand. Use the included stand and record the number on the reverse in your photos, since that numbering is the detail most likely to be forgotten once it is shelved.
• The Elder Scrolls Online Heroes Shadowbox: Limited edition of only 500 worldwide, built around the empty Imperial Throne and the many heroes who rise to fill the gap. A wall-mounted shadowbox keeps a large collectible off the book shelf entirely, which is the simplest way to protect both.
• The Elder Scrolls Online 10-Year Anniversary Diorama: Limited Edition of only 2,014 worldwide, depicting Molag Bal looming over three mortal heroes. A diorama needs a stable, dust-free footprint with clearance around it, so plan its space before you finalize your shelf layout.

Sort it once, give the books a stable shelf, file the paper flat, and let the metal pieces stand on their own. That routine takes an afternoon and keeps an ESO Necrom loot book bundle looking like the day it arrived.
