Only good for lower levels. Th9+ shouldn't go there. 8s are 50-50
That brings me to another point, last summer my old clan (kak dela and kak dela 2, now opes revolution, opes rapture) and a few other clans - centum (back when it was 2-3 clans), Under Estimated (my current clan), Chapter One and Without Limits we had a alliance, whenever we saw each other we would shield each other to help maintain trophies, this resulted in leaving us at 100 cups instead of 300 when we wanted to farm again, was awesome. We communicated through glassboard - this was the start of the board called "Share". Now theres about 350 clashers on this board before it was just people from centum, kak dela, under estimated, without limits and chapter one. This was all great until drama happened and the alliance sorta collapsed. Well Without Limits had a mass kicking and was no more, Chapter one was no longer friend and this put a stunt to that. Then compuco (in Under Estimated, old leader) opened up the board to everyone who wanted to. Then compuco busy with real life handed leader of the board and Under Estimated to Yankees, the current "leader" of the "Share" boardQuote:

It takes a moment to learn tricks to avoid DE zappers, annoying one droppers and losing your overflowing storages to other looters when you log off etc. but it is doable. Currently I lose around 1000-50 000 of gold/elixir after I log off before I get a shield and DE zappers are hardly zapping me twice a week although I am sitting on 45 000 DE right now.Quote:

I barely have ever found super advanced bases or premmies TH8s+, but TH6s still give like 70K gold to TH8s, which is really awesome when it only takes 7 archers and u find them again.
Look, it's great it worked for you 'n everything, but you need to remember it's not going to be the same for everyone else. Some people shout from the top of their lungs loot is great at 1500 trophies and then you have others in the 1500 trophies asking where's the good loot? For anyone considering below 200, go ahead but be realistic about what you're expecting. It might've worked for him but it doesn't guarantee you the same results.
Care to share these defensive tips? I probably know em but not positiveQuote:

I used to one drop troops to any base that came up but was plagued by zappers but once I started to avoid DE bases the number of zaps dropped to near zero. It seems to me that most zappers go through their revenge list to find easy zaps for DE. Of course if you are after DE you really cannot avoid those bases but for gold/elixir farming that is a good rule of thumb.
avoiding loot loss when you log off: Whenever I am in sub 200 I NEVER just log off after I am done and leave it for the game to gain me trophies and hopefully get a shield at some point. Doing that seems to pull too many sub 200 farmers to my base and those DE zappers too. Instead, I raise the trophies myself to around 600. THis is really fast when you just get out of sub 200 and after that you can use 15 barbs+BK's ability to totally demolish those TH3-TH4 bases that offer 30-40 trophies. Going through your revenge list also pays off and you can usually get 50 trophies from a TH4 one dropper. It usually takes about 15-20 minutes for me to get from 200 to 600. Earlier I used to stop at 300-400 but have found 600 to be MUCH better. Around 600 it is safe for a late TH8 like me to stay with full storages without being raided. Of course it happens SOMETIMES but for the last 7 days I have had 22 attacks on my base while all the time farming under 200 and deploying my tactics. Out of those 22 raids only two gained a combined total of 300 000 of both gold and elixir and they were revenges. I had 2 revenge DE zappers who took less than 1000 although I have had 30-45k of DE all week sitting in my storage. Other attacks were one droppers or TH snipers who gave me a shield and took 1000/1000. Not bad for one week when compared to getting that 20 raids in 30 minutes if you just log off in sub 200.
OK, I hear someone saying that is too much of a hassle to go up and down trophies and so on but let's face it: sub 200 takes patience. If you are willing to take the time it takes 10 minutes to drop from 600 to 200 and another 20 minutes to go back to 600 once you're done. For me it is worth it (and yes, I have a life ;)), maybe for someone else it might not be.
Hopefully someone will find this info useful.
