etc..
P.S im a pure str

Well...
It's your first char!
Back in the days (2006) when i was new to sro, it prolly took me ~1 month from 1-32. That is because I did not have any experience in this game. I had 3 chars who got til lvl 15, then i created a new one

In the end however, i managed to get a char to 30+ in about a month (around 2 hours of grind á day, then about 5 hours of grind on the weekends). Quite noobish, but I did enjoy the game... I went sightseeing and exploring and even tried to conquer dead ravine with my little horse... (which didn't go well at all ^^) It was a fun time.
Later (Early 2006) I got more experienced and actually made a char to level 32 in only 3 days. That was pure grinding though.
I think you should stop thinking about "How to level up fast", but rather think "How to enjoy this game as much as possible".
But I also need to mention that this game was much much more fun for lowlevels when the 60/70 cap was here. The days without goldbots and only occasionally you saw bots.
Well, to level up fast... go with 0 gap and grind effectively! Buy many pots.
Since you are a bower, try to kill the mobs before they hit you! If you manage to do that, you can grind for much longer before going to town to buy pots. In town you only need to buy MP pots (and a stack of HP).
Keep all your gear up to date.
Try to use good weapons.
Always grind in partys (4-man partys for now).
And to double your exp, buy a GT or Prem ticket in the Item Mall. ALso buy a monkey, so you dont need to pick up your items. An archer without a monkey levels very slow.
I guess that's it for now.
