Desynthesis skills for each class are independent, with a maximum level of 350. However, there is a skill point maximum of 1070 that applies to all classes combined. Successfully breaking down an item with Desynthesis will raise your skill level for that class, but it can also lower the skill level of other classes. For crafted items, this desynthesis level is based on the recipe level, whereas for dungeon loot, fish, etc, it's based on item level. (A few exceptions exist, but the item will list the proper desynthesis level.) If your desynthesis skill level is 10 higher then the optimal level, your success rate will be 70%.

I am against putting prices into my guide because of server differences. One must be cautious though, Goldsmithing is expensive.
