Blacksmiths selling randomized iron and steel stuff

One thing you don't commonly see on the server are player stores selling steel or iron weaponry and armor pieces, mostly because it's not very profitable when your store could be selling more expensive stuff, in my opinion. Think of the chil... I mean, think of the low level characters! So my idea is:

All blacksmiths keep selling all kinds of bronze weapons, but after every server reset, their inventory will reset too. That means that, in addition to bronze weapons, they'll sell iron and steel items, but their numbers would be random. For example, one time they'll be selling two steel items, maybe just a longsword and a shield, and several different iron armor types, and another time they'll be selling just steel helmets and all kinds of iron weapons.

It would still be cheaper for the players to go forging the items themselves, or asking for another player to forge them instead. But I think this is a nice QoL tweak anyway that won't impact server balance negatively.
