The Land of Loot for a TH8 is Silver I.
Simply use Barbs, Archers and some wallbreakers.
Tons of wealthy TH7 players there.
Yay 200 replies! Well, now that I posted its 201. :rolleyes:
I was not expecting the following as a response to finding it difficult to get good loot....
... but hey, I'll give it a try :) Hitting three-star on Heroic Heist last night is giving me a false sense of confidence :eek:
Although, even if that goes well though it's hard to imagine that giving a good "rate" of loot per hour given the cook time.
How would you answer the original question for a TH9? I have a friend one month behind me in almost the same boat:
He has also has been to Master's, maxxed TH9 troops, comfortable with balloonians, hogs, BAM, etc. Needing to farm a lot of gold and DE for upgrades, looking to maximize loot gain per hour. ?? 220 slots, easily raided 800K-1M/hour back in the day, now finding half a mill a stretch. Thanks again.
- Town Hall level 6. maxed out atm, will be 7 in 3 days.
- Current trophy count 1050 but don't have any problems going higher.
- Current army composition for the I was using.... 40 Archer (3), 77 Goblins (3) just for stealing resources, 4 Wall Breakers (3), 5 Giants (3). Worked well for th6 but I know it won't work for the DE farming lol.
- Army camp space 150 currently, will upgrade next camp asap when I hit th7
- Extra information you want to tell me. I'm really curious if I will be able to farm DE at early stages of th7? Or do I need to focus on leveling troops, defense, ect? Any help would be much appreciated!
well i use Balloonion at 1400-1800 where it is easy.i have been finding lots of bases of 120-180k gold that have lvl1-2-3 Air defenses on the outer side of base.i use 3 rage spells.i use 32 balloons and 20 minions.drop the rage spells near the AD.then watch the destruction!
hope this helps.

you can really try sub 200 farming.i have tried sub 200 farming with my alternate account which is th 6.your army comp should be 5 wall breakers and 60 goblins.if u have lvl 3 goblins then no need of wall breakers.but u will have to play in stretches of 3-4 hours each.
hope this helps,

Thanks for the bump Himanshu. :rolleyes:
TH9. Barch. 1900-2100 cups. 220 army camp.
Need gold and DE for walls and HEROES.
BK Lv6, AQ Lv 9.
Balloonion takes far to long if you're trying to raid good amounts of dark elixer consistently as well as the fact you're wasting dark elixer on minions.
Barch is is definitely more effective. If you're after good amounts of dark elixer and a quick easy raiding troop combinatio I'd definitely suggest sitting in crystal 3 or 2 barching inactive bases where as they have upgraded de drills unlinke a lot of lower level bases.
Any help is appreciated, I consider myself a reasonable farmer but my circumstances are about to change due to no longer working from home so need to maximise ltd game time. I usually target an achievable 150k gold and elixir per raid or 700+ Dark Elixir further information below.
Currently TH 8 upgrading to TH9
Army Camp space 200 soon to be 210 soon after 220 (2 of my first planned upgrades at th9)
troops for farming are BAM or BARCH.
BAM= 80 barbs, 80 Archers and 20 minions all maxed for TH 8
BARCH = 100 Barbs, 100 archers
Lvl9- Bk upgrading to lvl 10 rarely used for farming unless something goes wrong
Farming range is 1850 - 2050, currently at 1950 in gold 1.

If you're going with balloons, don't take anything below 240 k gold, otherwise it's more like a waste of training time. If you can't find such base, adjust your trophy accordingly.
Using 12-20 balloons is the optimum choice. Beyond that, the efficiency drops as you won't have enough minions to pick the storages/collectors. You don't need spells, use them sparingly only if you absolutely must. It's easy to go overkill or underkill with balloons. Remember, when farming you don't always need to 3 star a base. Just use whatever is enough for you to loot it.
After posting this Stark came to visit my clan and demonstrated some great farming tips for a new th9 with limited time. Also advised some of our lower THs on de farming tricks in gold 1 and Crystal 3. He spent about an hour of his time with us and was very helpful.
Thank you again Stark and I am sorry about Zou's behaviour a brother or friend obviously stole his phone and was trolling him he has been a member for over 2 months so I know that wasn't him and it was the first time it has happened. We do not usually allow split personalities.
Thank you again.

- Town Hall level -8 ( i have only 5 days at this level)
- Current trophy count - 1286
- Current army composition
I try it different formula. But the lot is awful at this range.
100 barb+100 arch
100 barb + 8 WB + 84 arch
8 gigs+ 6Wb+1 Healer+arch+barb( equal)
Varies time to time..
- Army camp space 200
Any advice ? i need loot to upgrade defense, witch cost a lot.
Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a shot as soon as my th gets through upgrading and I can get my troops upgraded.
Hi,
I am th8
My troops combo is 10 gaints, 10 wb, 60 gobs & rest arch
I am looking for collector raids but it kind of dryed up :( . I was farming at 1400-1500.
Can anyone suggest me some good trophie range where i can farm :)
Im townhall 7. I'm nearly maxed. I have about 1950 trophies due to pushing. I have 200 army housing space. I usually use:
8 wallbreakers
8 giants
60 barbs
rest archers
2 healing spells
1 rage spell
What army composition and trophy count is the best for finding Dark Elixir?
Ok, I'm a th7 in silver II. I have 195 army comp space. The highest troop unlocked is healer (dragon soon :cool:)
Currently, I use 80 goblins, 41 archers, 6 wizards, 8 giants, and 5 wall breakers. I feel everything is working pretty well. Any advice folks?
- Town Hall level-9
- Current trophy count-2280
- Current army composition-80 barbs, 140 archers (4-fingered BARCH of death!)
- Army camp space-220
- Extra information you want to tell me (optional)
Looking for gold, prefer quick to build armies. Not opposed to dropping trophies to any range (higher than I want to be now, just got here through BARCHing for resources).
All troops and spells max, working on upgrading defenses and walls.
Try moving to 1600~1700 trophies. Also reduce your giants to around 6 of them for efficiency. :)
Don't use wizards for farming, swap them out for goblins. Also move up to silver 1.
2280 is a bit high for barch try Gold 1 instead. :)
Just help around. :)

I am a TH9 at 2000 with an elixir storage next to an open TH and generally half full collectors that offered almost 200k elixir to the last attacker that sent 40 archers. Come snipe me for a shield and you get free elixir, if Supercell will let you find me :D
TH 6
Level 34
Trophies: 944
Army Total 125:
9 Giants, 30 Barbarians, 25 Archers, 6 Wall Breakers,
15 Goblins, 1 Healing Spell...
Currently trying to upgrade my Barracks. I have one at lvl 5, one at 6, and one at 7. Would also like to upgrade my Lab and my Castle, both at lvl 2 now.
My defense is working pretty well, but having a tough time looting. Not sure if it's my strategy or just crummy luck.
Thanks in advance, any advice is appreciated.
- fresh town hall level 8 (5 days ago), max TH7 except Teslas
- around 1400 trophies
- Burger King Level 5
- troop levels: barb 4, archer 4 (upgrading to 5 right now), giant 4, WB 4, goblin 4. Minions and Hogs still Level 1 :(
- army composition until yesterday: 6 giants, 8 WB, ~50barb, ~80archer, ~20 goblins. Started to play around with BAM yesterday (2 rax barb, 2 rax archer, 1 minions) and I am pretty impressed by this fast, versatile, cheap and effective strategy. Unfortunately my minions are kinda squishy at their low level.
- Army camp space: 200
- spells: 1 lightning, x2 heal level 4 or rage level 3
- Extra information you want to tell me (optional): which spells are recommended? Which order of troop upgrades?
Right now I'm farming mainly gold to upgrade my splash defenses and some elixir to keep those troop upgrades running. DE is completely out of focus right now.
Planning to upgrade my troops in the following order: archer to 5 (running), barbs to 5. Afterwards it heavily depends on the used army composition, but I'm tempted to upgrade the minions to at least level 3; so maybe I should start to collect some DE again.
Loot is not bad, but sometimes I'm spending more time with this bloody "next" button than actually raiding. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Ly
Alright so what i'm after is some good overall loot in higher ranges. I can use loonion and barch pretty well. Elixir is high in priority with a bit of gold on the side. DE doesnt mean much. What trophy range do you suggest? I am a townhall 9 btw with th8 troops still besides loons which are level 6
HI,
I am th7 working on purple walls. I have all troops fully upgraded and need to know what lv to farm at and with what army configuration. I would like to try the barch army so I dont spend a lot of elixer. Im currently in gold III and I cant find bases with lots of loot. When I do they are to strong for the barch army. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I'm a th9 and have been using barch at 1500-1600. I can find decent bases there but it takes FOREVER
Any suggestions regarding army composition? Am I still able to successfully BAM up there with my level 1 minions, assuming my archers and barb are at level 5?
Sitting at 1400 trophies with a free townhall at the outside I hardly ever get attacked by a serious army, and if so, they don't take too much; Trapception is a killer. What about the hoggers up there? They could wreck my base easily.
Thanks,
Ly
Hardly any hoggers up to 1800, so 1600 would be no problem. As a th9 (220 army size) I mainly use 44 archers, 44 barbs, 32 goblins, 16 giants, 4 wallbreakers, 6 minions + heroes and have no problems getting at least 2 storages + collectors. I hardly use my whole army and I guess I would average 600k-1M / hour depending on available collector raids of course. There are probably better army compositions, but this has served me well enough.
Town Hall Level: 9
Current Trophy Range: 1750-1850
Army Camp Space: 220 troops + 30 cc with 4 spells
Current Army Composition: 32 barbs 28 gobs 14 giants 10 wall breakers 70 archers lvl 9 AQ lvl 10 Bk
Additional Information: My current army composition is designed for flexibility in terms of being able to use the tier one troops for collector bases all the way through to an all out base when the storage base is worth it.
I have been struggling to find consistently good Gold and De loot recently, I have been down as low as 1650 trophies and as high as a little over 2000. What is the actual best range for me right now.
Please note I am willing to switch to Balloonian raiding if it will offer more consistent and better loot. Also note all my troops mentioned above and and my balloons and minions are maxed for th9.
Thanks for your help.
Hey man if you dont mind switching to Loonions i say high crystal 2 around 2300-2450 would be the best found quite a few dead th9s/10s offer anywhere around 250-450k with a decent 1.5k+ de. If you want to stick with your current combo i say 1850 or drop to 1450-1600( heard its pretty good there to farm gold, as for de down there it depends on your luck to find 1k+ here and there). Hope this help :D
Hey guys. Ok I hit TH9 ten days ago. Everything maxed at TH8 (except for dark troops).
I'd like your thoughts on my farming at the moment. I use two armies, balloonion for when I'm at work and can only raid once an hour. And a cheaper army when I have time to play. My farming range is 1450-1650.
Balloonion:
28x Balloons lv5
30x Minions lv3
Cheap army:
44x Barbs lv5
44x Archs lv5
48x Gobs lv5
8x Giants lv5
12x WBs lv5
At the moment, barring a mistake, I get 250k/250k average per balloonion attack, with 500-1500 DE.
Balloonion increases trophs, so when I'm at about 1650 I switch to cheap army and go for the collectors or peripheral storages. Here I can get 100k/100k with just a few giants and gobs, to an average of 250k/250k with full army (and luck finding the collector base).
Thoughts on how I'm doing so far? How am I faring with regards to farming as a fresh TH9?
As long as you can get 250/250 k per hit, you do fine.
Get yourself into storage raid. Gold 3 is still quite rich for TH 7-8, but the collectors were overfarmed. It's better to hit 150/150 k storages every few nexts than spending 20-30 k gold to find full collectors. Adjust your army accordingly. Use giants and a couple healers for support if you want.
Going higher to gold 2-1 might give you better chance to find full storages, but you'll be easier to be found by hungry TH 8-9 as well. So it's your choice.
TH: 9 (mild preemie)
Trophy: 1100-1200
Army: Barch (level 4 Barbs, level 5 Archers) plus 6-10 WBs, and spells I try not to use (heal, 2 lightning, rage)
Camp Space: 200
Extra: I sometimes use gobs and jump spells. I find that to be more cost effective than Barch, but finding the right bases for that takes forever.
My guess is I need to raise trophies, but every time I creep up in trophies I start getting slammed by fully upgraded TH9s and any old TH10.
If you haven't got troops level high enough to take on maxed TH 8 or other TH 9 while your defense is still too vulnerable against other Th 9, then probably you should stay in your current trophy range. 1100-1300 is actually good for rushed TH 9 who needs to gain loot as well as protect it as good as possible. As long as you're not picky about what base you're going to raid, you'd do well.
Hi, I'm mid TH8 currently at Gold 2. My main army composition is (all level 5) :
2 Healers
16 Giants
8 WBs
68 Archers
20 Barbs
8 Goblins
Sometime I use Barch with some WB included. My target is gold and DE.
Should I push it up to Gold 1/Crystal 3 or cool it down to Gold 3?
You better push. Giant-healer can get you storages, no reason not to do storage raids at higher league. You'll get better net in the long run.
TH 8; trophy count 1450 gold III; blue # 80
200 troops max:
1 healer; 10 giants; 6 WB; mixed combination of archers, gobs, and barbs; 3 heal spells
I don't usually use the healer, BK (lv 5), or cc unless the storages are farther in.
I've tried Barching, but i find it takes too long to find a base that's worth the attack. If someone has storages behind two walls, barching doesn't really work.
Questions: what's the best trophy count to farm? what's your troop strategy?
Thanks
If by barching you mean doing collector raids, I'll say don't push your luck. Collector raids are bonus salad, not the main course. Don't depend on it. You might want to let go the healer and get a couple more breakers and add more tier 1 troops. That way your army is versatile enough to take collectors or do storage raids. Gold league is still good for loot.
try the Three Doors base design by avernicus.i have been using that for about 3 months and have been 3 starred only once.serious hoggers start at 1700-1800 so no worries there.
i use balloonion.it takes a lot of time to cook,but then you are able to target people with 250-350k loot as well as gain some trophies.i think Bam would be usable but not very effective
TH9, currently Balloonion farming ins Masters III.
I mainly went there because of the really nice league bonus and really good loot. It's pretty much the same kind of bases as in Crystal 1, where I was faring the week before.
I rarely come across a TH9 here, it's basically all TH10s. Haven't seen a TH8 for a week or so. So to farm here, you should be ok to attack nice upgraded TH10 bases. You can practice that on the way up.
Win Bonus is 75k Gold/Elixir and 400 dark elixir, which almost pays for the army (without spells)
Yesterday I hit a couple of inactives, with empty infernos or full collectors.
But also an average raid with 50% of an active base is proftable because of the bonus.
I farm de and gold this way, but also elixir adds up enough to do the necessary upgrades on my base.
I have my TH outside and mostly get sniped, so it's actually not difficult to stay here even as a TH9 when you know one or two Balloonion raiding techniques and attack apropriate bases.
When raiding in sessions, I suggest boosting two barracks, one dark barrack and the spells. (Maybe even heroes if you prefer). This way you can attack every ~16 minutes.

20 Balloons
60 Minions
6 Balloons in clancastle
one or two rage spells

Thanks in advance!
Hi, I would recommend trying gold II around 1650-1700 trophies. That area holds the most gold in my mind. But be sure to use a farming base, or you will get wrecked by th9s a lot. For Amy comp, I would use a standard barch and go for abandoned bases. Hope this helps :)

Please solve this,
My target per day is : a profit of 6 million gold, 2 million elixir, and 20k DE
You stayed in appropriate range. Gold leagues are good to get gold. I suggest you bring army that can get into both collectors and storages tho.
Relying solely on collectors is not that much profitable anymore. You can get 1 million in an hour then next to nothing in the next hour. Amount of profit you get is proportional to the amount you spend raiding per day.
If later, you get level 6 balloons and level 5 minions, raiding in crystal leagues using those is even more profitable.

current army - barbs (4), archers (4) 50/50, some wb.
trophy count - 1300
I hardly see easy good loots. what is a good range for th8 collector raids?
thx.
i upgraded to th9 15 days ago. I didn 't max
my th8 ( before upgrading - lvl 8 walls, max
splash, lvl 9 bk , maxed farming troops, spells , all
single target defenses were /are 1 level below
max)
I used to farm in gold 2 with bam at th8 and
was able to get all skull walls in 20 days .
When i upgraded to th9 i tried bam at various
trophy ranges but it wasn't a success. So i
thought maybe i need to change my composition .
I am using this now -
8 lvl 6 giants
8 lvl 5 wbs
8 lvl 5 gobs
Rest barch
With this strategy i am now able to go into the
core and get the storages .
But i am now facing these problems :
- i no longer find many collector raids( maybe
2 - 3 in one day )
- i have tried from gold 3 to crystal 3 but i
rarely find good loot( not even storages )
- if i do find, they are either strong th9 s or
th10 s
I somehow manage to keep my builders busy 24x7
by playing for 5 - 7 hrs a day .
I would love some suggestions from the
experienced players .
Thank you for reading .

Hope this helped VERY IMPORTANT: NO SPELLS, they are very expensive, and not needed

2. because its unnecessary if you are not going for trophies.
Town Hall = Brand new TH7.

Extra Info = Farming for both Gold and Elixir , as a brand new TH7 this day ;)
but i needed more elixir than gold at the moment because the troops upgrade, army camps, barracks and de storages. all of my 1,3 mil elixir that i have saved from TH6 have used for spell factory and Lab.
Any Tips so i can get 1-2 mil elixir per day , assume my 4-5 hours/day playing.
What army composition should I use if I want to push to a trophy range for farming Th8? Currently at 1426 trophies and what range should I be at?

Loving the thread so far. Been reading tips for me and my clan members.
TH8 (Lvl 69)
1400 - 1700
Mostly BArch - 100 x Arch (5), 100 x Barb (4) (5 in 2 days)
Army Camp - 200
Extra Info - I was using WallBArch (BArch with 10 WB's) until my WB's started being ineffective (Lvl 4, next to be upgraded). What I'm finding since the Clan Wars update is that the only bases with a decent amount of loot are too strong to get much and very few collector raids. Should I try pushing above 1700 to find more consistent collector raids or drop back down to take advantage of more TH7's and TH6's? I'm looking mostly for gold for defense upgrades. Elixir and DE seem to accumulate when I focus on gold so they're not much of a problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Always take advantage of someone lower level than you. Going Silver 1 to take on TH 6-7 is still better than trying your luck with other TH 8 in Gold 2. And much safer.
For a TH 5, I'd suggest to stay in bronze league 2-3, upgrade your collectors and storages asap then try to practice raiding others with barbarian + archers. Upgrading collectors and mines might sound silly, but it will pay huge in the long run.
As a Town Hall 5, I loved Silver 3/2. It may be different now, though.
Also, I return for help.
Im a brand new Town Hall 8, with no troops upgraded as of yet. (Will start in a day or so)
Silver 1 is pretty good for me, I can raid 1mil per day (I lose loads of defenses) using barch. Unfortunately, I often lose 20-100k nexting to find a 300k collector raid using barch.
So, is there anything better?
Town Hall: 7
Trophies: 1200-1300
Army Comp: Costs 50k Elixir roughly (I havent calculated it all up yet)
L4 Giants (16)
L2 Healer (1)
L4 Wall Breakers (8)
L4 Archers (43)
L4 Barbarians (21)
L3 Goblins (21)
Max Housing Spaces: 195 (I will get this to 200 in the next couple of days)
Extra Info: With this army i have been farming for a little bit now (2 Weeks) and have been semi-successful. I will only attack Town Hall 7's and below with a gold count of 100k. I use the giants to take care of the air defenses (So the Healer won't die) and then use the archers and barbarians as damage dealers. I will also use a couple goblins outside the walls to clean up the collectors.
I feel like there is an easier way to gain a lot more loot, any suggestions?
I have to confess I have a problem with this idea.. Imma share my secret now, my hotspot is 2000-2050. What I hate about this is that people will now try to go to that trophy range and all the loot will be gone because a lot of people have already taken it, that causes us to adjust our trophy range and find a new trophy range where we can find Loot..
Im not saying that we shouldn't help other people though, Im just saying my thoughts and opinions about this..
