I boosted my barracks, running on just 3, I'm 36 minutes in running straight barch. No spell or BK boost, I'm at 1.54 million total resources in that time. I pre-load the barracks before raiding, so the ratios are somewhat hard to keep constant.
I always disbelieved those claims, but its more than possible.
With four barracks and using barch with minimum 100k per raid, 1.5 million gold per hour should be the least amount of gold for every 40 gems.Quote:

Here's my last 3 from my raiding session last night:

That was about 661k in 20mins. Extrapolate that to an hour and its 1,983,000/hr. Remove nexting costs and it likely falls to around 1,700,000 or so (approx.)
I'd say that's average. Not excellent or poor. Poor would be closer to 1 mil, excellent 3 mil +
BTW, I boost 3 barracks as well. 2 barracks of barbs (use the unboosted one for barbs + 1 boosted - barbs train faster than archers and you want less of them per attack)
This allows me to start nexting/attacking with a full army within about 3 minutes of returning to base. Boosting 4 barracks would whittle that down but I don't find it a good return on investment and also screws with my troop/barrack balancing for my army.
Goose, helpful thanks. Did you gem barracks for that haul and if so how many barracks and for how long?
So your the one stealing my resources ;) Glad someone finally proved it....I still deny the results that language doesn't affect loot but this seems conclusive.
3 barracks boosted. I usually go for the solid 2 hours. Sometimes I double down for 4 hours if loot continues to be good and I have the time. I rarely am able to do that though as I have wife/kids etc...Quote:

At TH9 I ONLY hit bases offering minimum 150k gold. When I was TH8 my standards were a bit higher at 200k minimum as loot was simply easier to find. It takes a bit of patience and dedication. Also know when to throw in the towel, sometimes I'll do 1.5 hours of boosting and loot just goes utterly dry or all I find is high-level 9/10s with it all in well-guarded storages. Stop nexting and cut out the last 30 mins of boost if you have to so you don't next it away. You won't have time to change leagues to find more loot by the time the boost ends. If I find it in all large 9/10s towards the end I tend to find a decent base to dump my barchers and get some loot back (maybe not the usual 150k) then train a loon army and go loonion for last bit of boost and storage raid for DE.
Skip the maxed TH9/10s with loot in storages unless they are using a trophy pushing base with loot hanging out in the outer layer. If they are, steal it all! I often skip large TH9/10 farmers with full storages and a juicy offer just because I know in reality there is no way barchers are getting anywhere close to that loot.
Be extremely mindful of WT and mortar levels and placement. As a barcher, those are your two biggest obstacles. Know which level mortar/WT can one-shot your archers, and which takes two, as this is most often the indicator of a successful raid.
My .02c.
My 2 hours were done, I watched a movie and barched. I put up 10 skull walls (finished with slightly less gold than I started) maxed my elixir. I didn't exactly keep track but in my best 1/2 hour cleared 1 mil gold. I'd just add it up mentally quickly, and the attack log kept running out so I have no way to total it all up, but the best 30 min was 1mil+ gold.
My last raid was 730k total, but the elixir part was pointless. Making that my 3rd 700k+ raid all in the last couple weeks since I started using barch. Giants and healers no longer have a place in my heart.
I wish they'd sell one hour for 5 gems, 2 hours of that much playing is a bit much.
All that on 3 barracks.
Some of those guys were really nice TH9s, and I bet one of them revenge smacks me tomorrow. I hope someone just kills my town hall so I can get a shield while they cool off.
TH8, near max, stayed around 1300 trophies for the whole thing.
Thanks mate. I am TH9 and crystal 1 so easily raidable, idle bases are rare. Do you tend to hover around gold 1/2 for maximum pushes as I assume your approach loses chunks of trophies? I find If i drop below that the hauls are generally poor
Loot at TH8 is extremely nice, I miss the days of 4-6 mil per boost session when loot was good.Quote:

I brought 10 minions each time, only used them twice.
I used my BK 3 times but he was sleeping most of the time.
Unreal. Barch is great.
