also because of this patch this advice is even more valid than ever:
just get to 75 souls, and get as far as you possibly can on one playing to get as much gilding and souls as you possibly can before the patch
ex: I just killed a primal at 315 for 18 souls.
And the thing with the 869 89 is that basically, you can't ever really hit a wall that will last more than an hour or so. It just gives you neverending guaranteed reasonable rate progress. Take advantage of it to get a big fat pile of souls for ancients.
