Ok I like to have an answer to following question:
Whats the reason for the huge difference between the mining skill and the smelting skill.
The pictures show what I mean.

Smelting

I have smelting lvl 2 and can upgrade mining to 3. When I upgrade mining now I can farm lvl 3 ores but cannot smelt them. To save stamina I have to wait with upgrading until I can smelt level 3 ones. As you can see I just have half to the next lvl. So the gap between those 2 will become bigger and bigger. In the end I upgrade to lvl 8 mining and can only smelt lvl 6 ones? Why is that?
I will be satisfied with this if there exists a good reason.
Thanks for answers in advance.

You mine more often than you smelt.  I think this explains it.  It would make sense to have them around the same level.

and useless ores and tonics don't help

[edit] some advice
Don't do both alchemy and herb collecting or mining and smelting on the same char.
The stamina burn is going to be too harsh especially at higher levels.

Also there does appear to be a 2 to 1 ratio.  If you can get a buddy to mine or collect with you and smelt or do alchemy on one char, things would level at the same pace.  I'd be weary about doing this but seems to be the most efficient course.

So more chars have be created coz this takes a lot of slots in your inventory...is that really what the game creators want?
I mean when you have 2 inventories (8x4x2 slots=64 slots = 64 ores / 5 = 12 stones) you can create 12 stones when you found the right ores. To reach the next alchemy level I need 366 stones...I have to trade 2 full inventories from the one char to the other char at least 30 times???
Thats really crazy and I'm just at level 2!
It would be much better if those ores can be stacked. So you dont need 1 slot for one ore and can trade them much faster. I understand that the stones cant be stacked coz of different attributes but the ores are often the same.
Maybe they do something about it. If not I'll stop at lvl 4 coz I wanna play the game and not just walk around looking for lvl 4 piles the whole week...

Btw I need few hours to get my stamina down. So with alchemy and smelting I dont have problems with too less stamina. The pictures show my stamina after 2 hours mining and smelting.

stacking is a nice idea

Ya'll are dedicated I'm still not even close to lvl 2. I thought it was bs that it takes so much longer to lvl it then it does the original living skills and it doesn't even count as a living skill so you can't get the creation bonus's from guild collection quests or anything like that.
