Will this plan work for g13?

  Since i hate refining and I can't finish g11 I was thinking that right now I would raise a lot of +dex stuff and become archer class in g13, then i would try to finish g11 and when i did was would use Brionac to rank up refine, could that work? (rk 2 refine now)

  Yes. That would work.

  Yes but you could finish refine without the Brionac faster than waiting to get in. You can also only use it once every 24 hours :v

  12 hours

  Refining is the easiest life skill outside of First Aid and the musics... If anything, it's a good idea to finish it on your own, because it will prepare you for all the horrible things to come.
  
  You should also take into account that the Brionac cannot be used on a skill unless you have at least completed 30% of that requirement, so do at least get that far if you wish to use it for the remainder of rank 2 before you acquire any new dexterity.

  Why don't you just go to Nubes and L-rod for Mythril Ores? If you keep a good blessed Pickaxe by the time you finish Mythril fails, you'll have a decently profed Pickaxe. Then you can upgrade for increased collection speed and increased Silver Ore collection chance.
  
  That's the most efficient way to finish R2 Refine. Metallurgying for Silver and Mythril takes days. Try doing this method instead of wasting AP/dur with the Brionac. I know it's hellish, I have R1 myself.

  Brionac to do the fails is a decent plan, especially if you're lazy.
  
  You only need to do the Mythril fails, but you first need to get 30% of them done, which is 24 fails.
  
  Then 10% from the Brionac each time would be... 8 fails each time. You'd have to do it 7 times to complete the 80.
  
  7 uses * 0.75 dura per use = 5.25 dura off the Brionac
  
  Hmm... I personally wouldn't do it, since that's a lot of durability to train one skill rank. But hey, it's your Brionac, it's your game experience. Do whatever makes ya happy. :) If using the Brionac makes your life simpler, go ahead and do it.

  if you're lazy, you will never be a good ranger. ;/ if you can't even finish refining, just stop focusing on range entirely.

  Technically there's only 10 mandatory fails for rank 2 if you complete all the other requirements, the only problem with that would be the 150 silver ore refines.
  
  Are there still ore shops in alexina?

  There's like a million ore shops in Alexina. The price of ore is hilariously cheap compared to the price of gems.

  This.
  I personally finished refining with less than 100k spent... Just do the darn metallurgy
  There's actually a lot more to work on than refining when G13 comes out

  definitely this. If you're lazy for refining, just imagine for weaving.
  Weaving is like 3x harder than refining to rank
  
  and imo, it's a waste of brionac dur to use it on refining. Mainly with huge lucky on metalurgy

  Then there shouldn't be any problems with putting off refine at all, assuming you've already done the 10 fails. You won't even need to use the brionac.
