I'm fine with the notion of solo runs of PotD being unfriendly to the user, since that's kinda the point, but I feel that this specific aspect is user-unfriendly for the wrong reason.
    Couple of tips; Craft them, or buy them they are pretty cheap ( Max potions for HP ). Sustaining potions based on shards are suppose to be limited and somewhat hard to get. however if you solo you have a better chance of getting shards, note mimics also increase. Take into consideration that it is a dungeon and the point is for some resources to be limited. If your soloing it's meant to be a challenge.

    Could you point us into the right direction where we can craft these sustaining potions?

    (Sarcasm aside, sustaining potions are not the normal potions you're thinking of. They're PotD only potions bought with potsherds that grant a Sustain effect, healing you over time)

    Because the sustaining potions heal for a lot more than max potions, which is useful for jobs without a good self heal.

    I apologize, I did correct my earlier post. There are alternatives to shard based potions and as they had mention floors 100+ have higher chance to get shards as well.
