Can a TH8 farm in crystal or higher?

I just started a clan and want to attract some people with a purple badge. Could I actually farm with BAM or BARCH in crystal? I got level 5 archers and barbarians and level 3 minions.

There is some TH9 in my clan (but he farms using L5 archers and a few L4 hogs) who farms up in C2 and gets insane amounts of loot. He posts his replays in the clan chat and he consistently gets 400k/400k/3k type raids. The only TH9 thing he uses is the 220 army spots but his troop composition is typically 6-12 hogs with the rest archers and CC and king (and sometimes queen). I think you could probably farm up there if you didn't mind the long push (would take several hours of sniping).
P.S. His D.E. stolen is 470k and he's only level 77, so very good for D.E. farming.

Should I use hogs if they are only lv 1?

Uhm, I probably wouldn't. His stategy is basically to drop the 10 or so hogs and use some heals on them so that they clean out 1 side of the base and the archers are left to get the collectors/storages. You could probably use giants and wallbreakers with heal spells if you have at least L5 giants.

Edit: He also finds a lot of collector raids so you might be fine just using barch/BAM.

No problem! Good luck with it though. I'm a TH8 also and have only ever got up to ~1850 trophies because I don't have the patience for sniping, but once you're up there I'm sure it'll be worth it.

Don't snipe, barch for 50%! It is much faster

I've been BARCHing/BAMing in Crystal 3 and the loot is mind blowing. I can confidently say that the loot up here is way better than Gold. An average raid is either 550K in collectors (and a thousand or more of DE), 600K from storages (and 2000+ in DE), or better yet, a mix of both.

yes, but it's very inefficient...

Your biggest reason to stay on TH8 is because you still able to farm those th7 without much loot penalty.

there is very little th7 up there... most opponent in Crystal is TH9/TH10 that is way stronger than a maxed TH8, so you will be their fresh meat everytime your gold/de storage filled up and you will just depends on inactive bases because the active players there is too strong for th8 farming troops.
