What is a farming base?

I know it is to protect resources but do i have to get a free shield? What is the free shield for? I need to attack to gain gold and elixir to upgrade buildings which means i lost the shield.

a free shield is when put your townhall far away from you defenses in the hope that someone just snipes your townhall then stop the battle ,basically it encaurages low level trophy hunters to go further up while you trade your trophies to proctect your available loot.putting your th outside is no gaurantee that you wont get a full assult and having it outside can sometimes disturb you raided since you have to log in every you get notified xyz has raided your village to rearm you traps,check how much you lost etc

Leave your town hall outside in the corner and in most cases that will result in a free shield. Log out when you are done/tired of farming and use the shield to do whatever you need to do ie work sleep eat socialize study w/e. Farm again for resources when you have time or when your shield runs out.

What do you mean? I don't get you...

When you've been farming/playing enough for some time and have to study, work, or sleep etc. for a while, then just cook a new army in your barracks, and hope for a free shield by someone who just snipes your TH - later, when you can play again for quite some time (or maybe not, depends...), you will have a new army with that you can start attacking directly, or you can just wait for your shield to run out and not attack other villages during that.

Sometimes you can even train a revenge army like Mass Drags during the period of the shield, or whatever you feel like.

Leaving push notifications on, while rather annoying, can be helpful to know when your troops are done being made. :)
