A newb 31 enc, a few questions here

[Kotopes]

Hello everyone! I currently play a lvl31 enchanter. Finally got the hand on charm soloing, however it was quite rough at start. Aside from 55hp rings, super cheap CHA gear and a couple Loam armor pieces I am pretty much naked. Is it worth going to Velious after lvl 30 in terms of exp and loot or should I stick to old world and Kunark low blues instead?

Also what are the best places to find some groups in 30-45 range to practice cc and general grouping skillz? Thanks in advance!
