      I LOOTED EVERY SAFE.. and killed all the guards around the bank. TOOK EVERYTHING ! (I left 2 safes in room with iron fancy fence (in the first room to right.)
      TOTAL PROFIT: at least 25 000 gold
      -~ 12000 pure gold
      -~ 4000 in gems
      -~ min 4000 in spell scrolls
      - maybe 5000 in magic items
      + and all the equip of the guards ~2000 ? but drop that trash, you are Bill Gates after this heist anyway, amirate?

          All of a sudden the entire place went off after my dad. He clicked a button by accident. We have thr vault pass. Who know all it takes is a miss click to upset the whole place?

          • Couldn't find the safe contents anywhere, here's what's in them:
            1 - 128g and a heavy chest with 100g, ruby, and agate.
            2 - Shortsword + 2, Greataxe + 2, Triumphal Helm, and a stuffed Owlbear head.
            3 - Pouch with 91g, Sylvan Stone, Pegasus Feather, Elixir of Vigilance, Fire Resistance, and Darkvision. Plus, empty alchemy supplies, Elixir of Batlemage's Power, Supreme Arcane Cultivation, and Universal Resistance.
            4 - Nothing.
            5 - Gilded chest with 508g.
            6 - 23g, potions of Feather Fall, Wizard's Bane, Diminution, and a disguise kit.
            7 - Open crate with a few outfits found elsewhere.
            8 - 560g, 2 silver ingots, 4 gold ingots.

            • I got Gortash Key It said Counting House Vault 5, but Avery's key said Counting House Vault n°5 with the same n° marking as the safe keys, so probably just a bug.

                There is a "secret area" behind the bank that you can reach from the back of Flymm Cargo. Tons of guards and tons of chests full of treasure.
                Hard to stay hidden due to patrolling and how bad greater invisibility works.

                  So, appearently, you're supposed to teleport to the safes, which is quite ressources consuming.
                  I didn't know that before and tried to fly in instead. And I could. But now I can't fly out....

                    Vault 1 Key from Captain Grisly is for the NORMAL vaults, contrary to what is written. Basement Vault 1 Key is from Lorroakan

                      I think I got Vault Key No 6 from Iron Throne in a locked chest that I had to lockpick. I am not 100% sure, but I believe it was there!

                        This area is bugged for me and I have no idea what caused it.

                        Trying to do Jaheira's/The Stone Lord quest, but this area is completely aggressive to me. As soon as I step foot near the entrance, the guards immediately enter combat. I have no clue what caused this to happen. Looking online and I've seen several other people discussing the issue.
