You can level up to like 165-175 skill on tin before it goes grey for mining. So, silver is not needed, nor is smelting. Smelting very rarely gives skillups past the tin stage.

Um... yes?

Iron is around 155 if I remember correctly. Mining tin will stay green until that point easily, and 10-20 points beyond it. Every node works this way; before you get to the next type, the mining you are on will stay green.

You never NEED to smelt or mine rare deposits to skill up. They can help, but they aren't necessary; and in the case of smelting, rarely do you get skill points for it past the tin/bronze stage.

Just to let you know a very fast way to level up your mining is to be able to smelt gold. On my server gold ore doesnt go for very much and when you learn to smelt it it's orange so it is a instant skill up. After iron you can do this too just to take you to mithril, which sells for very nice I might add. The gold bars I would keep in your bank or on a mule or until the price is right. There are a few recipes that require gold and are easy to make but its a pain to find gold veins or buy it on the auction house. If you need help on finding iron just use the search bar on the side and it will show all the places where it's at.
