500k for an afteroon/evening? I need to find your hunting spots! I have noticed just hunting last night that the gold drops seemed to have been lowered. Dragons dropping about 1-1.1k, drakes dropping 5-600gp. Those obviously aren't the big money kills, but they are easily tackled.
That's 500 dragons in an evening. If we say 5 hours that's 100 dragons per hour or almost 2 per minute. I'm dumbing that down of course, there is leather and gems and random drops to consider also that increase the per monster drop. I would typically chug mana potions to keep killing, but if the dragons only drop 1k, the opportunity cost for using a mana potion (250ish) is really too high at that point.
