Visual Stars [HELP WANTED]

Visual stars is a deep lore, skill-based, real-time combat, RPG that thrives on a hand crafted and open-world game. With skill, and perk trees with a seemingly low but high leveling system that balances the game in a singleplayer and co-op environment.

Econamy:

Visual Stars aims to be a living and breathing world unlike any other. Over time based on the players buying, and spending of items and their pre determinded value the games Vendors will adjust price inflation based on certain items. Example selling a Iron short sword over and over decreases its value in the Vendor specific area. Another example is buying a high priced item over and over waiting in game days to refresh the Vendors stock. The price will go up based on your Player(s) demand. This amoung other ingame events, random occurrences will effect the Econamy.

Combat:

Visual Stars combat is portrayed in real-time using the mouse buttons and number pad. Equipping moves that only pertain to your character or weapon through magic, enchantment, or stats. Criticals are started at a 0% chance at level 0 (obviously) but has a 3% increase per level insuring a pacing but noticable progression in the Player(s). Magic spells depend on 3 factors, level for damage flux, Health for possible spells to cast (Can't cast when your too weak), and Stamina for how many times it can be consistantly cast. Swinging a melee weapon, and using long range are effected in nealy the same manner but, level for damage flux, Health for counter acting the damage flux (can't swing like a lumberjack when you're almost dead), and Stamina for Sps (Swings per second)

Items & Drops:
Theres going to be around 8-10 base weapons and armor, with around 4-6 potions. This is where the drop system comes in and this will get a little complicated. So heres an example!
So we've defeated a difficult enemy, you click on it and in its inventory is a Steel sword.
Steel sword: +7DM 70% HC (Damage, Hit Chance)
Now once its droped theres 6 kinds of loot it can be. Common, Uncommon, Unusual, Rare, Legendary, and god-like. Heres the chances and the statistical bonuses.
Common: BASE STATS| 25/50| BASE PRICE
Uncommon: .5X BASE STATS| 20/50| .5X BASE COST
Unusual: 2X BASE STATS| 10/50| 2X BASE COST
Rare: 2.5X BASE STATS| 5/50| 2.5X BASE COST
Legendary: 3X BASE STATS| 3/50| 3X BASE COST
God-like: 5X BASE STATS| 1/50| 5X BASE COST
(All costs can change based on Econamy.)
(These effects apply to all items in the game
