Silkroad Online Forums

A while ago I started up a new archer. I then met a nice person who told me that pure int is the only way. Right, now I've got an int archer with lvl 10 on ice and bow (yep, I'm doing some SP-farming).
As I understand from reading on this forum, combining int and bow is a big no-no. So, where do I go from here? All I want is to be able to defend myself when trading and to whack some monsters from time to time.
Since my skills are only at lvl10, I didn't spend that much skill points yet. So it is possible to change direction to other masterys. It's the int/str that's going to take a little while.
Any suggestions anyone?

most people go pure int spear, hits hard + u get the heuskal hp bonus... there are a ton of guides running about
