Currently: farm Mad King’s Labyrinth for bags and candy corn; store them until the event ends then sell them when the price climbs. Or, if you like, sell them right away. It’s a fast, cheap farm.
For other farming that garners lots of chests, bags and random drops the money comes from salvaging everything. You can sell the mats directly, or – if you have some crafting skill, refine those mats and then sell them. For example, turning wood in to planks.
Even a low level character on a starter map harvesting wood can make some nice money by refining what they’ve harvested.

Not very profitable but when you’re bored: Make a mesmer, get good at jumping puzzles, ask for tips when you teleport people around. XD
