Boost Gold Mines or Barracks?

Is it more profitable to boost gold mines or boost barracks and farm. Im th9 and farm between 2k to 2300 trophy range...

So 100 gems for 45 minutes....I hit easy 300k plus bases but you never know if youll be hitting next for 10 minutes..

boost your barracks

i usually buy troops when i feel like playing and dont want to wait.
Because with boosting you still need to wait for troops and when i need to kill some time i dont want to wait.

I'm a TH9 farming around 2,400 to 2,500.

Army ready every 32 minutes and I try to use only 1 rage.

If however I end up using more spells, and want to keep playing for a while, then I use 25 gems to boost production in the Spell Factory. 25 gems can normally get all my spells back within 30 to 45 minutes so this helps.

I don't boost anything else.

Boost barracks and farm. Don't boost the mines unless it's coc's anniversary.(1gem for 7 days boost) :cool:

Barracks, but do not boost all of them, a single barracks boost is pretty good it turns 4 into 7 (or 6 into 9, if you use your dark barracks too). I've done it a bit off and on, in Crystal, and it works out really well (300 free gems soon after the upgrade was spent in about 1-2 weeks). Ocasionally I'll need to boost my spell factory too, but if just pure farming generally not much. I've done this with my dragons and minions, as well as golem/giants+archers - makes for quicker raiding - not lightning quick, but noticably quicker. I've also been upgrading 1-2 barracks at times when doing this, and again it makes building my armies and raiding in Crystal quite pain free.

Especially as you can spend a good few minutes searching for a good base to farm, you don't want to feel time preasure to get back to base because your boosts are going to waste.

Barracks are more useful compared to mines, but instead why not save them and use them to speed up time? Not of troops, but of research and buildings.

;)

I've never done either, but I imagine you would get better value from Barracks.

I've only ever gemmed buildings or my lab to finish a few hours early on occasion when I desperately want the builder to move onto another job.

Well, other then gemming 5 builders of course.

I usally never boost any of my barracks or mines because ITs a waste

boosting barracks is profitable. I dont boost buildings because of the builder lag.
