First, This guide is GREAT!! 
Second, I was able to go from Novie to Master over a weekend, and still have a life for my family. (Is that called petting the dog...) 
Third, I didn't know about this site when I learned about this strategy so here's another clue. There's a great site that I use daily . It's called SWGCRAFT.COM. Those folks can tell you exactly where to find all the needed resources, by server by planet. Sure makes my life easier to know where to go to get resources, and then I also cheat by using planetary survey droids. (these are launced from any planet, to any planet, and will let you know what exists on a single planet. Make friends with a DE, and get them to make you some, they are helpful)
Fourth, Being master is a kick, I'm enjoying it. Good luck
Fifth, DId I say this guide works, I used it, I benefited from it THANKYOU very much

something had to be changed....because the schematic doesnt even call the for amount of resources you have listed here.....
personally, i think you should delete this post before some other poor soul wastes 35000 xp like i did. that 35000 xp was hard as hell to get crafting barrels, and now its wasted.

I'm not sure I understand your problem. ( I did just verify that all the resources listed are correct per the current schems.)
The guide tells people to NOT grind barrels, it starts with Metal Staff.
Then there is no mention of Light Warheads, it's says that the next step is Medium Warheads at Intermediate.
You finish with Heavy Warheads after getting Advanced.
I'm sorry I can't verify the current XP per item, I've been capped for over a year on Weapons XP. But I haven't heard of any change to XP, or Experiment bonus, as of Publish 10.
I hope this helps.

hmm...
you said to get intermediate munitions crafting (munitions 1) skill first, and grind medium warhead mechinisms....so thats what i did.
not only does it not give me 178 xp each..only gives under 50xp.....it doesnt even call for those resources anymore. if i have did something wrong, or if there is another way i need to do it..please tell me. im using practice mode...and im grinding what you said to grind. but....the schematic given doesnt call for those resources anymore. ill log on that character and tell you the differences between your post, and what is called for now.

ok......
your guide (this post) says that the medium warhead mechinism granted at intermediate munitions needs this:
20 metal
20 steel
30 reactive gas
10 radioactive
5 polymer for 178 xp each
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i just trained in intermediate munitions and this is what the schematic calls for:
6 steel
2 steel
1 polymer
9 reactive gasand i get 36 xp each........and thats even in practice mode
now...either
1. something has been changed in game, because im sure im crafting what you said to craft.
or
2. im not doing something right.
so....please help me, because there is no way i can grind all the way to master only earning 30-50 xp each. PLEASE respond soon, because im stuck

You are crafting light warhead mechanisms. The guide says to craft medium warhead mechanisms. If you only see 1 warhead mechanism in your tool, then you probably need to stand next to a crafting station.

Are you at a public station? You have to use your own private station, or have a Droid with the station built in, for the advanced parts to become available.
NOTE: The Droid if you have one, must be called and standing near you.
