Kinda curious as to the extent of the super cheap shop’s schemes. Like, how much are they slaving away all the unknown staff members for the sake of the owner’s glory and wallet, like a Comicdom crew?

I'd assume the cheap shop only pays the blacksmiths a set amount for every piece of equipment. If an independent blacksmith makes a superb sword using extraordinary materials, they probably can charge a lot of money for it. But working for the cheap shop, the blacksmith might only get the same amount of compensation, whether it's a lousy iron sword or an enchanted mithril sword. The cheap shop owner, however, would naturally pocket a huge difference in profit between those two. If the employees get a bonus for better weapons, it's probably still only a small bonus. I imagine this is how it goes.
