In I believe south qeynos, in the House of Thunder, is a quest giver named Chesgard Sydwen. He should become your best friend

Head to the karanas, I believe west has the best selection, and start killing bandits. Look on the p99 maps for where there camps are, I forget what levels they are, maybe around 10'ish

They drop bronze weapons, which sell for a few pp each, but they also drop bandit sashes. The thing that makes bandit sashes actually better than bronze weapons is that they have almost no weight, so you can carry a lot. Get some medicine bags from a vendor (lightest backpack) and fill them to the brim with bandit sashes. Truck all those bandit sashes back to Chesgard Sydwen, and he will give you some exp and a random bronze weapon for each one

I think I made about 2,500pp at level 10 doing that quest on my first char. I gave him hundreds of bandit sashes, including when they no longer gave any exp for killing (I just continued to massacre them with my animation pet which was higher level than them at that point). That's way more pp than most new players have around that level

Take that money and buy a cheap full set of cha gear for your chanter. It will make charming a little safer (never completely safe though). But I wouldn't bother with consistent charming until later than most people recommend. Your animation pet will continue to do as much or more damage than mobs do until at least the mid 20's

edit: if you plan to do this, I wouldn't recommend the stein of moggok quest. It's fun, and I did it, but if you have the money to buy a rod of glamour from the EC tunnel (which on blue probably isn't that expensive, maybe a few hundred pp if that), then there really isn't much of a use for the stein of moggok, unless you want a separate set of int gear. Because the ideal setup is rod of glamour mainhand, crude stein (which can be bought from vendors in Oggok for like 10pp with DE illusion) offhand. I ended up selling my stein of moggok a few days after I got it without ever using it, because I ended up picking up a rod of glamour being sold at ec tunnel
