Depends how dedicated you want to be, you could heal to 60+ int in a couple of weeks then level properly or just bash away with mobs at +30 int

We need to know a bit more to be helpful. What's your INT now, for example, and your level and STR and DEX? Are you looking to max the INT? If so, you should know it's quite a simple route, but stunningly boring towards the end.
At 150 INT you become torn between doing Nightmares or Magma Beast. Magmas are much more fun and rewarding but they give you no stats at all, so you're stuck with Nightmares. That's where I am right now - LVL 94 INT 169. But still grinding Nightmares and longing to spend more time with the Magmas. I can't improve on anything while I'm doing this: I hunt naked, no accessories and need to carry no pots; I make a good profit every trip and have a healthy stock of frogs from the Nightmares - but bored rigid. Can't wait for the Magmas full time.

Only reason i would start over is if u was going to heal for free int, even then i dont know how much of a bonus it would give in the long run

Indra, I absolutely agree with Jaheira. Moreover, at 70STR & 65DEX you are at almost exactly the same point I was at before deciding to go all out for INT; I was, and am still, 75STR and 70DEX. I will cap my INT before LVL 100 (I expect), then build my STR & DEX a bit more (or maybe my CON which is currently 24).
You don’t tell us what you are hunting at the moment. My end game pattern was Lich Lords, then Prismatic Shadows, and now Nightmares. If you haven’t started on the Prismatic Shadows you should do so ASAP. I didn’t know they existed until some kind soul told me. They are in a small circle in the Abias Ruins, just to the North West of the much larger Nightmare circle. Unlike Nightmares, you can pull them and take them individually. They drop Frogs and Nightmare Armour (but not the tops). Then, when you feel you can (I think I did it around 100 INT) go for the Nightmares.
You will find them in the Abias Ruins, and in VOD. The VOD drops are best, but it gets busy down there – I have confined myself to the sempiternal sunshine of the ruins. It’s the Nightmares that drop the tops.
You don’t tell us whether you use white or black magic. I am white, and know nothing about black. If you are white, then you need to acquire diamonds as you will want a LVL 4 Light Sword and maybe a LVL 4 Light Arrow as well (The Arrow is brilliant for taking out the Magma Whelps). You can do without either, but they are a boon if you have them. But if you use the LVL 4 Sword you can forget about having to carry pots.
As regards staffs, the top four are Crystal, Golden Thunder Rod (GTR), Shironim, and Azure Eye. I suggest you keep your eyes open for a cheap top end GTR and use it as soon as your stats permit. The Crystals are as cheap as chips, the top two are not, especially the azure eye. I have the top three, but only use the GTR (which is an Intense). It kills Magmas almost as easily as my Rare Azure eye. Keep your eyes open for a GTR.
I hope this has been helpful.

Me personally would start again. My reasoning for this is as follows;

You've already wasted % by not doing 30con with 10str. You've probably not hunted 50+ str mobs with whichever weapon you've used,but it also hasn't been pure bow (which is probably the best option)
My plan would be;
Start a char with 10str, 10dex 10int and 13 con, get an access crafter to make you two wind bands for added hit rate. Use Indra as your tank on bugs and get 30con within two weeks or so. You'll find a bug will last 12 hours plus with base stats.
Once complete, heal to 40int minimum and you can the hunt as you would normally. Once you've got your desired int you are free to bow to the best possible dex. I would suggest 170minimum int though to be competitive at bosses / any type of pvp.

The char I find most difficult to PVP against is toxxxic - I think he is about 166int and pure bow, I can't hit him with Melee and his int is too good to hurt with magic too.

The choice is yours of course. Gm's have said eventually all chars will end up with the same amount of stats regardless of how they have been levelled but I don't see this happening any time soon, so for now you'll have the benefit of having extra stats for the time being.

I'm level 50, with 72str 67dex and 62int, been pure knuckle, I've hunted terrible mobs on here and I think it's fair to say our stats aren't a million miles away so you haven't hunted the best mobs either. I think anyway!
