Guild Wars 2

So I just found out today that running through just a few coral nodes on a character can net me up to 2g. I was wondering, what other seemingly “random” tasks like this put out money in this quantity?

That’s pretty usual money for gathering, or other acquisition of crafting mats like map rewards. Just hitting a few rich ore nodes will quickly get you a gold or 2 or 3, even copper. You can always check gw2efficiency.com to see which mat is currently spiked due to the latest legendary or what not.
