What skill helps with smelting colored ore? Smithy or Mining? I'm a GM miner and I'll only get about 2 or so ingots from 10-20 verite/valorite ore. Do I need higher smithing? or is this just how it goes?

I think it's a combination of both mining and BS...

Smelting ore is based soley on your mining skill.

Smelting ore is based soley on your mining skill.

So this is how it is for everyone?

Smelting is currently based on blacksmithy. Checking this for correctness right now

thanks derrick

I think it's supposed to be mining.

Aye, you guys are correct:

This will be correct on shard restart tommorrow morning

Just so I understand now, when I smelt a rare ore like verite or valorite should I be getting more ingots? or is this only for smelting items that have already been crafted... or both?

note: im gm miner, 50 smith.

no, smelting is when you turn crafted items back into inggots. Has nothing to do with turning ore to inggots. THat always yields 2 inggots per big ore at max.

SO if your smith has gm mining he should gm smithing cheaper than a smith without it. Luckliy for me i gm'd smithing when smelting was based of smithing... I dont have mining on my crafting char but i do have a seperate gm miner..
