It's a fairly common mob with an extremely rare droprate that gets KS'd by other players and half the other mobs roaming around. You could probably EXP there starting at 16ish through to 22-24 for your best chance of seeing one.

Also, apparently I'm the only enc on the server who *almost* disregards CHA. Buffed, my CHA is around 170ish I think, been leveling my SK and haven't been on my enc to check. However, I am a firm believer that levels over the mob + tash >>>>>>>> CHA for charming mobs. CHA, at least how I remembered from live, affected the initial resist check (Your target resisted the Boltan's Agacerie spell.) but did nothing for duration once it actually landed. Classic may be different, but I can't say my lower CHA has ever gotten me killed from some mob not staying charmed. If charm kept breaking after a minute, then the mob was a level or two below me and never meant to be charmed long-term to begin with. I geared for HP and INT so I could charm for longer periods of time, have a bigger mana (and HP through rune) threshold if and when shit went down, and survive the breaks when they did happen.

This actually reminds me of a something I saw in LOIO leveling my SK.. some twinked enchanter was charm kiting in front of the sarnak fort while I was pulling/fear kiting the charbone and icebone skeletons roaming about. She pulls this warbone skeleton (a monk.. heh. They are about 19ish, she was 24), charms it, hastes it for some reason, and then charm breaks and she gets absolutely mulched... I'm talking two rounds max, she didn't stand half a chance. I checked her gear after she ran back, for shits and giggles - everything was CHA. No HP rings, nothing that stood out as mana gear, she was just geared to the teeth for CHA... and all I could think of was all the good that ended up doing her.

YMMV, my enc is only 54, but for leveling purposes that's what I've followed. My enc hasn't died since 37 when I've solo'd.
