Hey everyone,I hope this post finds you all doing well.

I crafted my first piece of armor today. I have never crafted anything and actually produced a final product. It was unlayered marauder battle. I'd like to say that my resources are decent, I've been harvesting for about 2 months. I ended up with 5656 all stats. 48k+ condition 4 sockets. My segments were 890+ 58% condition88% (maxed) protection.I thinkI had like 4 experimentation points left over on the appearance.

Im 12 pt smith using superior station, bespin port, and inspiration buff in a crafting city.

My questions are

1. Can i get higher values without using layers? yes, unlayered cap is 6000

2. Whats the point of using good resources if i'm gonna max out the experimentation line easily anway? you max the line further down (92% verses 85%), and your overall product will be better (like 6k resists unlayered)

3. I noticed on bracers and biceps that i could usemy worst resources on the appearance and still end up with 27kor 37k (cant really remember it was maxed 57% emperimentation with like 7 points left) condition and 1 socket. It seems that you lose most condition on them by cloning anyway. Wouldn't it make senc\se to use crappy reources on them to save money as long as the protection is the same as the rest of the armor? use best resources, and get better condition, you could be pushing 50k condition, need to get experimentation close to 90%, 57% is just unacceptable to my customers

4. Are these ok stats for armor? ok

I dont have junk resources to try this out on so i really have no way of finding out.

Any help would be much appreciated, but i wouldnt be suprised if i got flamed for asking newb questions.
