I raid 4-8 million a day with barch. in weekends 8-12 million.
pretty loaded question;
Im TH9 near max (main acct)
on this acct I would say I 'average' 2.5-3.5 Mil GOLD per day and 7k-12K Dark Elixir a day. to keep builders going and Heros upgrading.. I don't really track Elixir, but probably somewhere in the 3.5-5.5 range.. TBH, I don't track my intake much at all; I just play for fun, but it takes me couple days to get an upgrade around 5mill going, so that is where I am estimating my intake (this does not include next fees or spell/troop costs).
If Im low on elix from a lab or other upgrade, I'll Barch or BAM much more. till around Gold 1. I prefer to stay in Crystal leagues where the Dark is more available. (and the dead/inactives have more developed pumps)
I usually use a balanced army of Giants and Barch'M (8-12 Giants, 6-8 WBs, 20 Minions, 50 or so Barbs, rest Arch..100 +) this allows me to get into 2-layer stores in Crystal 2-3 if I need to; and all the collector raids I come accross. (and usually win for the bonus) This is where I usually hunt. I normally play 3 or so hours a night (7-10 pm are my prime farming hours, some days earlier some days later) this suits my needs, but does not always keep builders busy. (I don't get hung up on sleeping builders, its just a game)
Ill only use the WBs/Giants/Minions when I need them so it takes less time to cook them up. I also cook them in mass, so Ill do 2 Giants each barrack, and knock them out in 4 mins..then go in to the arena and search for Farmer THs or collector raids while they cook.. if I see none while searching, I go back to my base and get my Giants or WBs or Minions after a few minutes.. If I see a exposed TH, Ill drop 3 Archers (if there aren't any traps) then head back to my base, get what ever troops have cooked in that time and head back out.
If I need gold badly Ill Bam and increase my raid frequency but this drops trophies pretty fast so I may have to use more of my army to get the 50% win once I get into the Gold l range..(which obviously increases cook time)
That is the key though, not using all of your army to get the loots. get what you need and get out, if you can get 6 full collectors with 6 archers (or less) then that is what I do. try to raid 10-15 times in a hour if you can instead of 2-6 times an hour.. It dosent always work out that way, and the day of the week matters as well as the time of day..
But, this is my strategy, and I keep my builders going at a good clip for my schedule for upgrades gets knocked out, I prolly have a month or 5-6 weeks left till I jump to TH10, then Ill be very busy again..
:cool:
i COULD steal like 5 million a day but i don't sit a round batching bases 24/7. i am only active on weekends and i raid 5-10 times a day and can usually get like 1.5-2.5 million gold.
I did farm a lot when I had time but school and the well-know and disturbing exams has to be the main priority…
How does one still loot?
I steal about 3-5 mil a day...
Don't think I've ever done 10 million in one day. 5 or 6 million, yeah. I am talking about Gold here, not all resources combined. This is in many hours: 14 to 20 hours per day. Not absolutely constantly, but well more than half the time within those playing hours, i.e. there is usually a raid going on, or one being searched for, or the army is re-building - let's say 80% of the time.
Since my Beginner's Protection (the 3-day shield) ended, I've averaged 1.8 million Gold per day. Obviously, at the very low Town Hall levels, one won't be getting as much as later on. I worked hard and gemmed a lot of the waiting times, got to TH7 pretty fast, and ever since the loot has been good. Probably 3 to 4 million Gold per day now.
As to leagues - I think you find good resources in Silver II and I, and on up from there. As a TH9, I recently touched Crystal (barely going over 2000 trophies) then purposely went back down, looking for Collector raids. Silver III was not very good, but going back higher got good loot.
Nice all through Gold, and then in Crystal you're seeing very few TH7s and not many TH8s. Loot still good, but far fewer pushover bases. 2200 - pretty much all TH9s and TH10s, and more TH10s than 9s. Fewer 3-star victories. I'm now at 2400, and there are few TH9s, and the bases are definitely stronger. Even a 1-Star is not a given now. The Dark Elixir is nice, though.
When not concerned with trophies at all, i.e. purposely or uncaringly going down, we can just focus on collectors. We can set our armies up for that. Just going to take the easy stuff, rarely getting any Stars. Use a few Goblins and or Archers/Barbarians. I'm sure this is the best return on investment, but the rate of trophy-count decline is fast.Quote:
2: After how long do you stop looking for bases with most of their loot in collectors/mines? And is it different in different leagues?
I stop looking for collector raids when I need to go up in trophy count or at least hold steady.
I'm not the biggest Barcher or Bammer out there. I think the Golds are the place to be for that, though. Maybe Silver I too. As for Crystal, lately I'm just not seeing collectors that are very full...Quote:
3: Which one of the leagues do you like the most with BARCH/BAM?
Barch = 2/3 Archers, 1/3 Barbs, very roughly and I don't much worry about it. Maybe a few Goblins or Minions in place of some Barbs. Archers shooting over walls is big.Quote:
4: How does your BARCH/BAM ratio of units look? E.g. Is your BAM 100 Barbs and 100 Archers or something else?
If I find good looting in a particular league, I'll try and hang right there. Collector raids to go down, more full-on attacks to go up.Quote:
5: If you don't focus on "collector raids" with your BARCH/BAM, how long do you spend pressing "next" in the respective leagues?
As a Town Hall 9, the higher-level troops I've got often have much more of an advantage in Silver I and into the Golds. Thus the collector raids will be getting stars more often, enabling me to "tread water" more easily.
10 to 20 tries is about it for me, with collector raids. This is supposed to be quick, constant, hit-and-spin, bump-and-run raiding, not sitting there with clouds going by too much.
If not focusing on collector raids, then I almost always have stronger troops, and am looking to get every single thing I can, so 2 or 3-starring the bases I'm attacking. Maybe 30 'Nexts' is about it, though - even if I'm risking an expensive, long-build-time army, I want to play the game, not muck about with white puffy clouds.
