'Maxing' out charisma

[1PkRulesAll]

I believe I need to get ~180 charisma to charter from my village to Sevilla. Without out access to gold nuggets and about quality 15 silk, what is the best equipment and gilding's I can do to get the highest charisma out of boosts?
I'm at 77 charisma without any buff's, and it's getting challenging to keep my hunger down to munch on charisma food. I have a 60% hunger and 5% food event feasting table but the hunger still climbs real fast.
I would love to get trading in Sevilla but this 180 charisma boundary is rather difficult to overcome as a hermit. Any advice?
And does the charting only rely on charisma? Or can i raise exploration to lower the req. charisma?

You can raise Exploration, but I would recommend Raisin-Butter Cake or just straight raisins if you wish to raise your charisma.

I tested with 1 exploration and 30 exploration and didn't notice any difference.

same here. used main with 60 exp and alt with 1 exp, both with similar CHA. got similar TW. Exp seams to make no difference.

Spam beets, collect honey, make Sweet beets, Good restore food and gives charisma, its one of the easiest food for me

Easiest way to get first 50 charisma for my sevilla twink was bay boletes.
