I assume their are diminishing returns on the benefits of raising Charisma. (I'm not thinking of effect on spells so much as making more money trading, getting better prices on things, etc.)

So is their a point where it is kind of useless to raise your Charisma stat anymore?

At this point I am circle 52 with 34 charisma.

For Work order pay, there is no limit, but the effect is fairly small (generally speaking, an extra 1% of WO item appraisal per +3 Charisma). This amounts to a few extra coppers to silvers per WO, depending on the value of the WO items.

For Trader bonus for selling gems/skins/gem pouches/bundles, it's a complicated answer. The more Trading+App you have, the less you need Charisma, and vice versa, once you hit the cap. I would say at 52nd circle, you need more Charisma if you want to reach the cap sooner. On the flipside, if my 102 Trader with 575 Trading and 498 Appraisal were to have 34 Charisma, that wouldn't be quite enough to cap Trader bonus (would be 48%), but it would be with Finesse up.

I am not familiar enough with caravan routes to know whether more charisma is helpful there.

Pretty sure you're fine as far as buying things from NPC shops.
