plan on training refining and I was hoping someone can help me out with fastest methods to reach next rank. I plan on duping ingots and such via synthesis and/or frag them for less mining work. Will also use vales furnace for lower chance and I have 2 refine pots so no need to do rank 2/3 :D any help /advice appreciated.

It's not going to be hard if you plan to use refine pots on last 2 ranks. You should have no problem training it even without "fail to refine", but in return you will need A LOT of ores. If you plan to train "fail to refine", I recommend wearing a heavy armor for -50% dex penalty (Heavy Armor Mastery has to be rank E or higher) and using BNR catering for -100 dex. Duping ingots and fraging them will save so much time, you should probably hit rank 1 like in an hour or two.

You shouldn't need pots to finish refining. Refining, at least in my view, is one of the easiest life skills I've ranked so far. I didn't even need the talent to do it.
Nowadays, it's even made easier by exp reforges. Spam regular reforges on bracelets until you get exp level 2.

If you ever plan on raising your STR, it would probably be helpful to do Mining along side Refining, assuming you have the ap for both.

I have a Refining Training EXP 2 Level Bracelet if you'd like to borrow it.
Depending on how low your dexterity currently is, you could wear heavy armor (that you don't care about) with rank E Heavy Armor Mastery to help with dexterity deduction. You could also find a friend with high fragmentation to help you fragment ores up to silver. I trained metallurgy alongside refining, so I got my ores from there while training the higher ranks.
Buying an ore bag from the ducats shop will help out with space issues.

Use the prod failure pot on any day EXCEPT Monday. Monday increases success rate of all life skills and will be counter-productive.
I don't think its been mentioned but you can use Average/fine/finest firewood from carpentry at Vales to further reduce success rate.
