If you have earth tabs for sure - with the help of the Kinship Ring (Faster Banking).
But, the air alter seems closer to the bank than Earth. So crafting Airs sure is faster.
Trip wise it may be faster, but XP and profit wise is a different story.
Earths used to be a lil faster too... But then they added that Starters area gate... Oh yea, if you're running it won't slow you down at all! Not at all!!!
Yeah, ok. That's why my character stops running for about 2 seconds. Right?
I never run out of run on normal trips, and only need to recharge once per trip. I go to about 85%, although I could go less. The only time I will run out of run is when I need to grab new gloves. Although I run out like right in the middle of leaving the starters gate and the musician. So it isn't too bad.
