Well, I'm playing using a range based elf, and I've read a lot about how ranking life skills (especially refine) is important.
So my question (as indicated by the thread title) is if I should start ranking refine now? I have 63 Dex and a total level of 60. I have no Production Mastery or Metallurgy ranks if that matters.

Refineing gives a lot of dex, and for an elf using ranged its double important, because each hit does damage.
So, i say yes, before your dex gets so high you wind up paying some mils for mass -dex equips for failures.

You can start it now, it's recommended to do as early as possible so you don't have the hassle of trying to complete the failures. 63 dex is enough and it's better to grab some -Dex clothes to make it even lower.

If you're just starting and don't have funding, it's plausible to get all of your fragments from Metallurgy, up until ~r3. That should give you enough time to build up some wealth to prepare for the 99% Mythril fails :P

Go ahead, also get ready the -dex equipment set to help you through it.
Do not rank Production Mastery, do not rank metallurgy. Do them on an alternate character.
