... And I mentioned money?
You can do the Stein of Moggok Quest with a level 4 Dark Elf Enchanter, just like it was possible on Retail. Here's how.
Make an Agnostic Dark Elf enchanter. Run straight to the docks of Freeport. Run under the docks, below the Sailor's Roost bar there and make your way to the rogue trainer. Do the Janam and Rebby note handoff quests 18 total times. This will put you a small ways into level 3, it will be boring as hell, but it also grants you a great amount of faction to buy / sell from the merchants, as well as be a key to something in a bit.
After doing this, level up to 4 the traditional way by kicking ass with a cracked staff. Save bone chips, sell them in EC tunnel, take the money for the next step.
Buy the spells of Invisibility, Illusion: Human & Half Elf, Gate, and your level 4 pet and level 4 nuke. Make sure you have about 3 plat and 5 gold on you. Now go to Ocean of Tears using the boat in freeport, stop in sister isle, jump off the boat, illusion up, go to the vendor, buy some kiola nuts, and gate out.
Now go get the Honey Jum by doing the quest steps for it. Honey Combs are best hunted in Kithicor during the day, and Illusion Half Elf works fine by itself in getting the Jum from Kizzie(no Alliance needed). give her the 30 coins first. you might get the jum without having to give her the honeycombs if it's still wonky (was bugged), or someone might have "primed" the quest for you by doing it wrong.
Run to Qeynos. Enjoy Invis and avoid undead and Gore hounds. Get to the temple of life, jump in the water and blow up a fish. Blow up 8-9 fishes (the drop rate kinda sucks sometimes). You may or may not want to use a mule for killing the fish. I didn't bother because who the hell cares about Qeynos? It's the armpit of Norrath. Remember to use Invis or your racial Hide (target & /con someone to make sure it works) so you can med for mana as needed.
Get on the boat for Erudin. Agnostic DE's are not KOS in Erudin, so jump off at the dock without a concern for that. Human Illusion up, get the Erud Tonic (no Alliance needed). Gate back home.
Finish the quest. The barkeep in Freeport will NOT need Alliance. Normally, he would, but you did all that faction work with Janam and Rebby, remember? Human illusion and your faction work will carry the day and you get the book. In Oggok, Clurg will NOT need Alliance either. Just like retail, basic Indifferent as an Agnostic DE is fine.
Yay. Free mug that is overfarmed is now yours. You might sell it for 300-350pp if you are lucky, but remember you can also hawk the thing in Gfay while getting belts or something.
Last but not least - if you're new and concerned about getting cash... Find a level 29 mage or higher and tip them well for some summoned dimensional holes or glowing backpacks (if you are lucky). Make a level 1 alt, and carefully ground twink the bags over to the alt and have the alt punch a guard in the face. Corpses STORE No Rent items for up to a week. Re use your bags, sell EVERYTHING you loot since you can carry the shit, and make more $$$. Just don't cry about their loss if the server burps and needs to be restarted.
