I think this is the best way of preventing yourself from being caught by these situations.
Seeing that I am sometimes in game waiting for LS members to get into game or I am farming mats to hopefully get someone to make an HQ piece of hear, I am usually busy gathering mats like Red/Blue Coral or feathers so that the crafter that makes my arrows will level up on what I gather and I get my arrows and repeat the cycle. This is the thing I love about my LS is that we have a great system of supply and demand, in which we have no shortage of crafters and suppliers.
