I'm sitting at the office and queued up my BAM army (non boosted) and did 4 attacks to see how it went. Started with trophy's around 2025 and did 4 quick attacks which is the equivalent of an hours worth of raids. (Non boosted, my army takes just over 15 minutes, so 4 raids per hour).
I still did some work in between, so my attacks weren't immediately one after the other, but I was fairly close and it really doesn't matter.

Total Gold looted in 4 attacks (1 hour equivalent) was 1,013,036. I don't really count win bonuses (21k) because they generally pay for the "nexting". The big attack up top is a little uncharacteristic, but the 88 one is as well (I had somebody walk into my office), so they kind of average out.

I mostly just BARCH the bases and like to use minions for the faster build time, surgical strikes, and extra punch (with rage) to go deep if needed. I simply next until I find a 200k+ gold base that's reachable. I literally don't stop nexting until I find one and with rare exception as a TH9, they were always there and Thu/Fri last week they always were and just my little test right now they were. I'd say I average somewhere in the 20-30 nexts overall. Ocasionally I'll hit 50 or higher, but sometimes i hit them right away. The 400k raid below was my second base.

As mentioned though, this is very preliminary and I'll have to see how it goes over a full two hour boost, but I suspect it will be close because I know what kind of bases I wait for. :)

I'm uploading a video of the 476k raid now. (Full storage raid of a very premie TH10 base.) I'll add it here when it finishes.


General thought is I emphasize patience (nexting for good bases) and quantity of attacks over quality of army. I rock 30 minions (used as necessary), then 2 rax archers, 2 rax barbs. It works out to a heavy barb of roughly 105ish barbs to 80ish archers. The barbs build faster, so I get more raids per hour. WB's and gobs , or more archers than barbs would both be nice, but they slow down build times and require me to waste time messing with barracks. With 4 minute total build times per attack, it can cost as much as 200k-400k per boosted hour just in wasted time messing with barracks.
My goal with a 2 hour boost is to hit 15 attacks per hour. Full army build is right at 4 minutes boosted, so I try to do my searching and attacking within that 4 minute window so that the second I get home I just top off all rax and attack immediately. What's funny is the build times are even faster with TH9, so it's crazier with 3:30 troop build times and TH8/TH9's galore to pick on in upper Gold I.

Are you sure youre th10? because i see those th8 lvl defenses in the background and when i was at ~2000 cups i often spent half if not more of my earnings on nexts
And once i even spent almost 40 minutes and 500k+ pressing the orange button to find a 200k gold -_-

Level 6 minions say he is.

How ironic then, we're upgrading walls but not our defenses :rolleyes:... btw I just finished all skull and going to do legos are at th9 and that will be good enough for me.

Look at his minion level.

Also, he must at least be TH9 because of the Lego's, but it's clearly TH10

I'm really struggling farming lavas as TH9. $3m a wall is bad enough, let alone $4m with TH10 search fees and loot penalties. :eek:

Don't do lavas.. If they introduce TH11 along with lvl12 walls, lavas will be reduced to 2m :)

lol, last time I checked I was still TH10. :)

Just took a screen shot for you:

The key is to identify what the loot is going to be for the day/night. Obviously there are bad days, average days, and awesome days.

I identify a range where I get the highest percentage of non loot penalty bases to maximize my chances of finding a good base. For TH10, the 1900+ range is the only viable option I've found, and around 2050-2100 the bases get to be harder so that I can't push through to the storages if I need to.
No matter what, it's about maximizing gold per hour, no matter what the amount is.

My army build takes 4 minutes boosted, so I give my self approximately two minutes (max) of nexting. I'll next and next and look for the 200k+ gold base that's reachable. I generally have pretty good luck with finding one, but if I don't by the two minute point then I grab the first 100k+ base I see. The reason I do this is because my next army will be available as soon as I'm done attacking, so it's far better than continuing to next for the 200k base.
As I mentioned, it's ultimately about quantity of attacks vs. quality.

Depending on how quickly I find the base I may not go for the win either. If it's a collector base that I find right away I only deploy as many troops as I need to get the collectors and then quit, even if I can easily 50%. Reason being is if the base comes up quick I would have to wait another 2-3 minutes for my next attack if I use all my troops. If I only use half, then my army is ready to go as soon as I get back to base. I usually get at least 1, but sometimes 2 or 3 extra attacks per hour by doing this. Obviously you need to keep your trophy's in mind so as not to fall out of Crystal III loot bonus.

I always chuckle when people say this because any good farmer will have walls that are far superior to their defenses and it's not because they're choosing walls over defense, it's because build times are so slow for buildings.

To max TH9, it takes 1,614 Build days or 322 calendar days with 5 builders going non stop. I've been playing the game about 8 months, and have even gemmed several defenses finished early, but other than gemming everything it would be impossible for me to have max TH9 defenses right now.

It takes 1.02B gold to get full lava's and 335m gold to bring all defenses up to TH9 max. For a farmer like myself with a 918m GG, I have no choice but to dump the extra into walls. It's either that, gem everything early, or stop playing while I wait for my builders. :)
