If its your first character, dont bother farming at the lower levels. You will get bored real quick and quit the game. Also be prepared to start a character over again once you get to know the game better, get to know builds better, and you finally figure out what you want to be.
The first character of anyones 'career' on silkroad is always a tester. They know very little about the game and just want to level and explore. Once you figure out how the game works, then you can crack down and start making the character that will suit you.
Try out the different weapons, the different forces and see what you like the best. There are plenty of guides floating around for all the different builds. Dont be afraid to ask questions either.
