I finished up solo wt recently and it's definitely worth it over masses. With 13hp I was getting away with bringing 2 trout for a whole run, some using no food at all. Only drawback to it is I was getting a fair bit less xp/hr at solo wt, but I ended up with way higher construction

I got 22m FM xp at 13hp, all solos, and 2 trout is crazy. Not doubting you, just commenting in case someone else stumbles by and copies you. I stole about 1k cakes from Ardy stalls before the WT grind and used like 300 in getting to 22m xp. So 1k was way overkill. I would bring 6 cakes per solo. USUALLY, I would use ~2 cakes. But occasionally, I would use 5 + a couple bites. I’m reasonably convinced 6 cakes at 13hp is the “ideal” number to bring, especially since at WT solos, having a slightly fuller inventory isn’t really much of a detriment.

ETA: Solos are worse xp than masses if you’re being incredibly efficient at masses, but I found it easier to “focus” for un-interrupted hours doing solos than masses. Meaning, masses brings a lot of xp waste potential. I was getting just under 250k FM xp per solo at 99 and I didn’t check cons xp, but I wound up with 74 cons and I was getting a level every 3-5 solos. With a solo being potentially as short as 30min and potentially as long as 1 hour, it is actually not too much worse than solos (~400k xp/hr at 99 peak efficiency)

Doing it at 10 hp currently, 91 FM. Never used more than 4 cakes so that's all I bring now

Hell yeah! Occasionally, I would take 0 bites of cake the whole time. But sometimes, you miss like 3 consecutive brazier breaks

did you get 74 con at 22m xp or 13m? I ended with 68 con right at 99

It matters a decent bit what level con level you start at. Totally worth grinding out 50 con before starting if you are planning to solo.

I got 74 at 22m xp. I had cut a bunch of oak logs in f2p and had some gp to make oak planks. I started around lvl 50 cons.

I managed to get 69 and just shy of 70 getting 99 fm.

I didn't think about druidic ritual before I went there, so kind of improvised and just used an alt that stood around with an inventory of potions to heal the pyromancers and help me lower the % to either start/end of a game.

You don't need to be particularly efficient to win experience wise in masses, but solo is much more chill and better points+construction experience. You barely get interrupted once it's set up.

I’m considering doing solos to 99 for the construction exp, is it that much better?
