check the schematic of the item you are going to make - it will list the important stats of the resources and what those stats affect.

Then check your resources - make sure to use ones that have high numbers in the required stats.

the scale on resources goes 1 to 1000 (1000 being the best). Anything above...oh....800 is a good resource. Between say 400 and 800 is mediocre but still useful as there are a number of components that as far as anyone knows dont need to be experimented on. Anything below 400 is considered grinding material and is what you want as a novice b/c its all just going down the drain in order to get your xp.
