Good day!

Very new and trying to read what information I can wherever I can find it.

I read that one can join Grand Companies at level 22. Are levels cumulative across skills?

For example, does one need to be lvl 22 as, for example, and archer?
Or can they be a lvl 12 archer, lvl 5 lancer, lvl 5 thaumaturge?


Thanks in advance!
