I would usually reach endgame with like half a screen worth of crafting materials and potions. After thinking on it, my advice is: Don't hoard them. Use them. I never really did and now I recognize the game would probably be a lot easier for the majority of people if you dispose of hoarder mentality.
It's worth noting you can combine smaller potions to make stronger ones. But like runes, after a while you need certain flowers called Augmentors to craft the strongest ones.
There's a lot of random useful stuff you can craft. Like...
Any bladed weapon + teeth = Shocking arrowhead (you retain the bladed weapon afterwards)
Any bladed weapon + antler = Knockdown arrowhead
Arrowhead + Jar of Honey = Charm Arrow (you also get an empty honey jar out of this, which can be refilled at certain beehives, this is super abusable early into act 2 especially when you consider charm arrows sell for a fortune)
Arrowhead + any source of oil = Slowing Arrowhead (they do slightly higher than normal physical damage. If the source of oil is an oil barrel, said barrel is resuable)
Arrowhead + any source of water = Water Arrowhead (If the source of water is a water barrel, said barrel is reusable)
Arrowhead + poison barrel = Poison Arrowhead
Shocking Arrowhead + any source of water = Static Cloud Arrowhead
