sandalhat..... I know you r joking buddy :D
but on a serious note, check out the bases of ro8star, rottnone, wolfz etc. they have been farming for a few months and their bases speak of what is possible for a busy adult with a full time job, family and other responsibilities farming in this game without shelling out more than $40max so far.
Addressing the original question that OP posed....
if you play for 2-3 hrs, you play really just for 15-20 mins in raids while waiting for the rest of the time for troops to train. If you employ all four barracks in training and raid every 20 mins with full troops, that is around 6-9 raids per day. If you are lucky to hit a couple of 300s and rest 150k avg, you will easily make 1.2 mil to 1.8 mil depending on where you are trophy range is as well as time of the day.
But, if you plan your attacks in 5 min breaks over a period of 5 hrs, you will make much bigger loot per day.
This will further be highlighted by the TH7 Lightning Thieves who receive a +50% bonus against you. Thus, I fully support the statement of maxing out TH8 (full max-out, especially barracks + collectors since TH9 has significant elixir sinkholes) before progressing to TH9. Unless of course TH10 arrives. :cool:
I'm farming pretty well at TH8 haha, busy day I normally farm 2~4m, weekend can easily get 5~6mil no problem.
but as what everybody has pointed out, its th9 that is the problem to farm 5m+ a day haha.
Anyway, those defensive vids can be done quite fast, 3mins to record, minor editing 5 mins max, then upload already.
I initially plan to just max out barracks, dark barracks and everything else except gold/elixir collectors and move on to th9, but since th9 is the end of the journey, and once I get to th9, it will be hectic with dual xbow, lv6 troops, archer queen, 4th tesla, more archer tower, I might as well lessen my burden now at th8 :)
And having maxed out collectors is quite nice actually
1) If you are going to be inactive, and wish to farm for trophy without fighting, then just push your TH in your base, place all your level 11 collectors one row out of your defensive fire for lazy farmers to raid. Each raid you will gain trophies easily since lazy farmers will just farm the collectors and leave.
2) higher level = more hp to tank = more time for clustering for splash damage to hit.
3) additional 300k+ Income per day, which can help in the long run
Yeah, if th10 arrives, it will be a different story.
Thanks for all the feedback. I dont think it is possible for an average, non gem player. I think that a hardcore farmer would also struggle...if I had to put money on it, i'd say that without gem use, it is not possible to max TH9 in 365 days...unless it was your job to do so - ie you could basically do 9-5 every day, of every week, of every month, with no interruptions.
For those that are averaging high (5m+) loots each and every day, well done! I did 6m yesterday but I finally turned my ipad off at 1am...not a normal day (wanted to upgrade an X bow to L3), nuff said.
Final thought...
Given that I think most are agreeing that the average TH9 player will not be able to max out in 1yr, do you think SC will release TH10 (and associated upgrades) this year??
Here's the math if your lucky
200k gold per raid
=200k x 5 raids
=1mil gold
=5 raids x 8mil gold storage (at max)
=40 x 200k gold raids per day to max a max level gold storage
=HARD CORE FARMING!!!!!!
I dont understand what you are trying to say?
I think most people are expecting that there are 5 builders, 4 busy working and one always sleeping and waiting to lay bricks...if this was not the case, then as I think you might be intimating, players would max out storages and have no way of spending the loot so all their hardcore activity (lol, I will never grow up!) will be wasted...
At TH9 with some upgrades taking 14 days to complete, if you made all builders busy, it would be very easy to have no free builders for a few days unless you were an excellent project manager! So although I don't think you meant it, good point!
Don't waste a builder by leaving him free..
you don't need to be an excellent project manager just to build a simple planner using excel spreadsheet for yourself..
And i agree.. I didn't understand what was he trying to prove with his maths..
Here is my own planner, cropped is the planner for the next few weeks.
Note that I only have 3 barracks until 21st april, so I don't mind slightly longer gap between workers.
*21st april, lv3 dragon + 4 Lv9 Barracks, yipee :o !*
Its not that hard to make a planner.
