I have not used most my AF armor in years. And most of it appears to be missing. I did check with slip potter moggle. I never used a paper in past so I didn't think he have it anyway.
Then I checked the NPC in bastok and Jueno and he had no armor as well.
So my question is do you think that the stored NOC who would have all armor would lose it if you do a world transfer? I only ask as many AF quest are done but no armor anywhere.
