Because we can't upload pictures to the wiki I'm posting this information here.
Adding in a link to my personal image area because this one can take sometime for a guide to approve.
Influence = Factor for the type of armor slot. E.g. Chest has 1x factor while a foot would have a factor of .5x to the total bonus of the item.
Material Points = # of Bonus from the materials you put in. 5 slots allow for a max of 5 bonus. As Xsyon's update says the first slot = 1.5x and the 3rd slot = .5x all the others are 1x.
E.g Slot1 = Mutant Bear Leather 1.00 with a power of .5 means it would be a 1.00x.5x1.5= .75 bonus factor for that slot.
Max Influence = Bonus from Skills, Stats, Tools, Tribal bonuses.
Total Power = Influence*Material Points*Max Influence
Stat 100% = Max bonus that type of item can have if you used 100% mats of the same stat bonus in all 5 slots.
Bonus Factor = % bonus when using stats. E.g All the same stats (5 slots using STR bonus) means it would be factors by 50%. So if your Total Power = 5 with a 50% Bonus Factor, it would be 2.50 bonus to STR.
Stat % = % of stats in the Material Points being used by the same bonus.
Factor = I'll explain this better later*

Max Influence:
This factor is really unknown on what % is effecting what, but know that at max stats (100+), max skill (100), max tribal bonus (+15%), tool bonus (+20 skill) gives you 50% bonus (1.5x) to the stat bonus.
1.5 Max Influence
Bonus Factor:
Because all the slots are using 100% same stat, bonus factor will be .5 as shown in the "Stat 100%" column
.5 Bonus Factor

Final Stat Bonus Amount = Influence*Material Points*Max Influence*Bonus Factor
1.0*5.0*1.5*.5 = 3.75 INT
