Yup this is my go-to for quick inventory dump offs when running helltide's or dungeon's. Blacksmith, vendor, stash all next to each other. In and out on under 30s.

I go to Cerrigar when I need to craft, since the relevant crafting vendors are close by. Main drawback is the stash being so far away. That's not usually a big hinderence since I do all the prep work (finding good crafting candidates, grabbing appropriate aspects, and gems) in tree of whisperers.

Happy to see gems heading to the materials tab, sad that it won't happen till season 2 (so...4ish months away?). Guessing they wanna lure people back to new seasons with QOL changes.
