i used to dig fiber bark shell up in dyron im pretty sure armor mats are there too but can only say for sure what i did, they were all close together so i did a little pike craft at my lower level dig
did jewels in thesos until 200ish but then.... FF and SC desert dig spots are honestly too slow for crafting (anyone who disagrees is really just wrong, if you want to level very fast in crafting desert is not the most efficient place- you CAN do it, but you shouldn't (says me))
however if your heart is set on the desert ,you can use the OO tp to walk into FF and it can be fairly safe if you learn it a bit, also did pike there (shell bark fiber are together) for a while. some good ammo mats are together as well near the entrance and theres seed/amber near a tribe for jewels... armor mats i cant say i know much about
but in terms of ease of access, if you are kami or neutral especially, dyron is the closest and most convenient to many things, to a tp. kara and mara are nearby too its not that far a walk, and you can still dig in other regions just fine =) (thesos, FF, or another land, then tp to dyron walk to merchant sell your stuff, or put in your apt to craft later)
