Armoire or Retainer storage?

[Bixby]

I am also a little confused. What exactly will the armory store? It will not store mats, items, or basic gear correct? But lets say... I have a purple lv 35 pants for hands of war. I can store that in the armory right?

The armoire is a storage chest in your inn room that stores only specific items, as mentioned. Seasonal event gear, artifact armor, etc.

The armory chest stores armor, weapons, and tools. Any armor, any weapon, any tool. If it's something that can be equipped (at all; even if you can't currently equip it), you can put it in your armory chest.
