Roron0a's Guide to Efficient Gold Farming

- Gold Storages - I do a quick scan to see if the gold storages are full. If they aren't empty I skip unless the loot is over 300k or the storages are easy to get to. The graphics for the gold storage are bugged however so an empty looking storage is not enough info to press go.

---

its not bugged, its just the game needs 1 million of gold to offer you 200k and 1 million of gold across 4 storages looks "empty".

Also i like to queue a couple wbs somewhere in between. Usually i have around 6 in my camps just in case i need it to grab more gold.

I'll try this once I have my level 6 barbs and level 5 minions. Level 6 barbs is upgrading now, minions are level 4. Thanks

This was an interesting watch and read, thanks.

I'm glad the 'fun' aspect was mentioned in this thread, and the difference between at least TH8 and TH9s requirements and abilities for this method.

I saw a few things that made me think you were rushing a bit - would you say this was a typical session?

Examples:

At least 2 raids you called 'mistakes'
You donating archers to a clannie who requested flyers
Gemming a barracks (?)

What I'm trying to get at is, do you think BAM's pace might make such things more likely or whether doing a live feed made some difference to your performance (lag, pressure, whatever).

Cheers

i think what the guy with giants and wbs is trying to say is that you can still attack collector bases because you still have tanks and archers BUT you can also take developed bases.

From my experience it really depends on how you want to play it, most people cant play every time troops are ready so for example if i have 20 giants, wbs, archers, some minions and some barbs that means that i can take one collector base spending half of my barbs and archers, then take on developed base, then take on collector base again before spending all my troops and going idle. Its quite versatile and gives you DE as well.

Thanks Ushuaia. I'm a bit lazy to do all that but we will see. ;)

I had a really hard time adjusting to BAM in the beginning. I started with 10 wbs, then 8, 6, 4 until I weened myself off using them completely.

As I said I don't have as much time to play these days, so giving myself the time pressure element has improved my farming as well as made it fun for me. When I'm racing the clock I get a little adrenaline sometimes, almost like playing CS back in the day.

I'm always making mistakes especially with AQ, so that's typical. ;) The clannie that wants flyers always accepts archers too after some time. I never gem barracks.

I think because BAM troops are ready so quickly I spend more time raiding. With other combos it's a bit more relaxing because there is downtime so you can go do other stuff. Again, this guide is about efficient raiding not anything else.

I understand what you guys are saying about flexibility. But again what I'm saying is alot of those bases also can be raided by BAM. It's just not efficient in my opinion to do so. As above this guide is about the most efficient method to gain GOLD. DE is not factored into this.


I haven't had 1 complete hour to raid in a long time, but I just posted up a gold rush under the MAIN POST which ended an hour ago.

well ye when i think about it i guess you are right, there can be a maximum of 200k in storages and granted there are 4 of those all across the base its probably not worth it when you can get at least 100k with 1/3 of your army that takes like 8 minutes to build

Your post got me thinking and I set a timer last night to try rapid bam raids, not waiting for full troops, and got 750k gold in 30 minutes. I kept going and got 1.114 million in 1 hour. No record, but it was fun. It wasn't some random lucky streak, since I set the timer ahead of time, which I think is important when giving yourself a challenge to improve your gph.

Hmm... Anyone want to do a goldrush competition with me like, tomorrow?

That's great Kiff! The next step is to find somebody to race ;)

Just to be clear this is a great guide. My point is that over the course of your farming career carrying some support troops will help more than it will hurt. Life isn't like calculations on paper.
