Hunter Tools in Salt and Sacrifice are special Consumable Items that players can craft while exploring by using materials. These include Hearthen Flask (Healing Potions), Haze Decoction (Mana Potions), Ammunitions and a variety of offensive potions that you can throw on Enemies to inflict elemental damage. In order to unlock a Hunter Tool, you'll first need to bring it's related Material to Verdantvoice Trista, who can be found at the East part of Pardoner's Vale.
Crafting
In order to craft these, you’ll need to collect their respective materials, which can be acquired from different sources. The hearthen flask, for example, require 1x Valley Herb that can be collected from red bushes, while Ammunition requires Irona Ore, which can be collected from stone piles or crystals.
It is recommended that you collect everything you find on your journeys, even if you are not currently using that particular item. The amount of Hunter Tools that you use will increase as you progress further into the game and you’ll find yourself short on these if you do not.
Hunter Tool Upgrades
You can Upgrade your Hunter Tools by interacting with the Hunter Tool Tables that's right next to Verdantvoice Trista. Upgrading your Hunter Tools will increase the maximum amount of Consumables of that particular type that you can carry at the same time but it won't increase their efficiency.
Potions and Materials
Potions are a key aspect of the game and you might find yourself running out of them when constantly dying to a boss. In this case you can farm basic materials by defeating Hazeburnt Enemies and collecting their ashes (note that these only spawn during Mage hunts). Another alternative is buying materials from merchants in town.
Granted you have enough materials, you can resupply to the maximum amount by selecting "rest and resupply" at any obelisk. You can also restock most Hunter Tools (with the exception of Hearthen Flask and Haze Decoction) at any given time by pressing and holding the interaction key.

Refilling estus with materials you need to find first and farm is the most stupid and time-consuming change in the core design of the soulslikes. Just WHY?
