go attack people with money
for the love of god upgrade those camps as high as you can and do 50%barbs 50% archers with some wallbreakers and then go attack people with money thats easy to grab be patiant with the next button
Ok thank you
It is my understanding that "farming" is a three step process.
The first step is to create a farming base. This is a base that prioritizes defending resources, more specifically storages. Typically this will force you into sticking your Town hall outside of all walls with little to no defense surrounding it, BUT THIS IS A GOOD THING. Leaving your Town hall outside will attract "town hall snipers" or people just looking for a quick trophy pick up, and will leave you less vulnerable to high level attackers who can easily 100% you. So by giving up your Town hall, you can actually save tons of resources, assuming your attacker just takes the Town hall and leaves.
The second step is training a cost-effiecient army, such as a full camp of archers. This allows for a potentially staggering net gain of resources.
The last step is to find a base that has a lot of loot available, but not just in storages. Typically the highest yielding raids come from inactive players who fail to collect the resources in their pumps and mines. SO KEEP AND EYE OUT for collectors that look full of resources (if you are unfamiliar with what a full pump or mine looks like, just don't collect a couple at your home base for a while and compare them to your collected ones).
Once you have mastered these three steps you be well on your way to farming
I think the initial question has been answered but i would like to bring up a point that most farmers do not get. If you want to get the most out of your exposed town hall, leave it completely… i repeat, COMPLETELY defenseless. This will entice even more snipers. Down at gold III, people will snipe your town hall in minutes sometimes because it is so enticing. I would also surround it with decorations to show that there are no traps. If you leave it in the range of defenses, you are defeating the point of exposing it. You want them to kill it, you want that free shield. If there is someone out there that is just going for easy and quick kills, they don't want to go after a town hall that is right up against your base, much less inside one layer of walls. Leave it DEFENSELESS if you want to get the most out of your farming.
Ill also add my farming army that has worked very well:
2 Healers,
16 Giants,
40 Archers,
20 Goblins,
6 Wall Breakers,
10 Minions,
3 Lightning Spells.
This takes up 200 army spaces so you might not be able to fit it all in, but you get the idea. Giants distract and archers and gobs clean up. Minions are for a multitude of situations where you need some quick firepower to back up some of your ground troops. The lightning spells are used to take out a hard to reach air defense or for clan castle troops.
One last tip: get either wizards or balloons in your clan castle, they tear up giants. Giants will be your main foe on defense when you are farming in low trophy levels. There are other people farming too, and there are some that think they can take your base, no matter how good it is. So if you are in between shields and someone thinks they can take your base, you will have those high DPS and splash damage troops to instantly KILL those giants. They have saved my base several times.
Hi MiataMike92, farming is an attacking stragedy a lot of people do and is very handy for upgrades. You just build a cheap army that is about 20-30k elixir just of pure goblins, few wallbreakers, and archers. First things first, all you're looking for is the $$ loot. You shouldn't care if you lose trophies, it's normal for farming. 2nd, look for the storages, per say if a storage looks empty but the enemy has over 200k gold or 150k+ gold, you should know most of it is in the pumps and mines. After you get rid of those with some goblins, if you there is still a lot left in storages, use some wallbreakers and goblins to get to it.
Secondly, you defense. Your storages should be in the middle and defenses around since that's your most precious thing. Also, so people don't attack you, you need shield. I know you might not want to use your gems for shields so just put your town hall in a corner. Now you're asking why?? Reason is because when people destroy your town hall, they get trophies, and you get a free 12hr shielf. It's a win-win!
upgrade those camps as high as you can and do 50%barbs 50% archers with some wallbreakers and then go attack people with money thats easy to grab be patient with the next button.
