I have spent some time looking at the resources required for AS, and have a few questions on them.
Resource Spawns
1. How long does a spawn usually last?
2. Do certain planets get better spawning resources then others?
Resources and Crafting
1. Armorsmiths look for High Numbers in: DR, OQ, and SR. Some resources either don't have "categories" or they are very low. How does one tell which is a great shift without having been in the business of crafting for a long time? (Is there a Resource 101 guild for Armorsmiths?)
I am new to Armorsmith and crafting in general, as I have been a combat toon since I started a year ago. I know it will take many months to be able to get high quality resources to probally just cap 1 type of armor, and am prepared for that. But in the mean time, even if I can mine mediocer stuff to make at least good grind armor, I want to know what I need to look for.
Thanks for all your help!

Spawning
1) 8-12 days on average
2) I wouldn't say the quality is better, but sometimes the rare resources seem to pop up on the adventure planets.
Well, like you said, it's all about high numbers. You get what you can, and then upgrade it when you can. Some resources have their stats capped. Here's the guide:

I'd have to say the spawns are a bit shorter. More like 7 - 10 days on average.
Shortest spawn I know of only lasted 3 - 4 days. This was for Chanlon or Alantium or some other Ore about 2 years ago.
Some stuff like organics (especially hides) can be in spawn for a month sometimes.
And yes, the adventure planets tend to have a slightly better rate of good spawns.
However,many of the resources AS's use are planet specific to begin with.
