But the vast majority of nails are still forged by professional blacksmiths by hand, which, although not exactly expensive, are certainly not cheap.
After visiting the market of Artemis, Winters learned a shocking fact: the round nails sent by Berlion were only a third of the price of the square nails crafted by blacksmiths in Vernge County.
Based on Winters' tests, although ordinary square nails were more durable than the "Revodan round nails," the difference was not significant.
The conclusion was obvious: for an item that every household needs, yet is a bit tricky to make, if its performance is similar to competing products but costs only a third as much.
Then it becomes understandable why merchants in Vernge County eagerly snapped up "Revodan round nails."
The Meng Plough lost its share for a reason.
Some astute merchants from Vernge County immediately smelled a business opportunity after learning that Iron Peak County could produce nails at low cost in large quantities.
