I am recently maxxed th8 (Nacnudthenacnud in DragonWarriors (158 wins) ) I found that the best place for farming is silver1/gold3 as you will find many dead bases with mega loot. Always barch as it is quick cheap and effective. Usually for spells use a rage/heal combo unless zapping DE storages. Go for 175k+ of gold/elixer. Time of day doesn't matter. In cc either use a tanking troop like Giants or a high damage troop like wizards. Best place for DE is to push as much as possible. once your in c3+ you will get DE loot bonus which is very helpful if you atack a lot and you will find high level players with tons of DE.
