Erza Scarlet's Armor
So, I might have missed it, but does anyone know if we ever actually learn where Erza gets her armor and weapons? Like, we know she has a lot of magic and immense skill with using her armors and in swordplay, but she is at her core a Holder-type wizard and uses her Requip magic to put on and grab the right gear, but she still has to own and store that gear in her pocket dimension. So where does she get her gear?
Sure, some of her gear seems to be relatively standard or something that wouldn't be super rare. Take for example all her nonmagical weapons and her elemental Empress armor sets. But what about her more powerful and eccentric armor like her Nakagami or Armadura armors? I doubt those are something that can be found in your run-of-the-mill magic shop around Fiore, and it's not like she just found them in ancient temples or something seeing as they are all perfectly fitted to her physical measurements. Does she make her own gear and is actually a master enchanter/magic blacksmith? Does she know and have a contract with a magic blacksmith that we never see? Were they all gifts from Makarov and Jellal (Seigren persona)? Does she secretly spend most of her paychecks at special auctions where they sell these super rare, super powerful magical tools, weapons, and armor? What about when her armors are damaged? How does she get them fixed? Or does she buy new every time?
I know it doesn't really matter as far as the actual story and plot go, but this has been bugging me for a while and I wanted to know if there is a canon explanation. We see how Lucy slowly collects her Keys and hear about how she inherited some of them, but she's not the only Holder magic user on the main team!
