<p>We know that the moon boosts waterbenders and the sun and the comet boost firebenders.</p>

<p>Are there other things that boost earthbenders and airbenders?</p>

Are there other things that boost earthbenders and airbenders?

Airbending relies on feeling the air current, and airbenders use the flow as a booster to their bending. This can be done by an [airbender staff](http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Airbender_staff) or similar items. This is why most airbenders can't fly without a staff.

As for earthbending, earthbenders can boost their bending by boosting their [seismic senses](http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Seismic_sense). Basically, equipping items like hammers, maces or not wearing shoes enable them to boost their bending in a degree.
