Best path to “hundreds” of PotD aetherpool?

[Theodric]

I assume this is based on a “round them up, burn them down” tactic? I honestly haven’t soloed a deep dungeon before so I’m likely going to read some guides before I sit down to try it.

For a solo run, the favoured tactic is to take each enemy down one by one. Traps never spawn at the edges of a room, so it's good to get into the habit of only ever fighting in the corridors between rooms and then running along the edges inside a room to avoid triggering any traps. Enemy patrols range from an annoyance to a danger. You should keep an eye out at all times for anything sneaking up behind you.

Pomanders are best saved for emergencies/bosses and a healthy supply of the Deep Dungeon exclusive potions are desirable even if you're playing a job that can self heal as they help a lot with keeping your character alive.
