Do I need to store my items at my main home (Area18) so I stand a chance to keep them at the next patch?

Hey Everyone,

I have a few armor sets I like and would hate to lose at the next patch. Since Area18 is my main home, do I have to keep them there or can they be at Everus Harbor for example?

I know there is a chance to lose them, but just asking what the best approach is.

Thanks
