Farming guide in current state of clash 10 NOV 12

A guide for farming in the current state of Clash of Clans.

Edit; I strongly suggest reading PedroLee's guide... It's amazingly well writing and vastly more informing then mine :)

found here

http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...se-Farming-101

This is being posted to help those struggling to upgrade their base but unable to do so.

The Why;
This is off the top of my head so I'm sure I'll add more later.
Currently, below 20 cups, there is a Massive population of players in clash looting one another. Im talking hundreds if not thousands looting one another. At TH 9, I gain roughly 180k per each resource, per battle. Attaching pic of my most recent battle. It's very quick and effective to loot and upgrade down here. My defense have risen in effectivness considerably since I began a few weeks ago.

The How.
Initiate an attack, drop one troop while simultaneously hitting the "find next battle" button. If done correctly, you will drop your troop and cycle to next battle while losing cups. It's exceedingly quicker than dropping a troop and surrendering. From 2200 cups to zero will take you less than 45 minutes. Once in the Promise land (aim for zero cups) loot everyone you see :)
I suggest using 10 wall breakers, 30-50 archers and the rest goblins.

My method of attack; (against lvl 8 and 9 TH with heavy defenses)
Find the nearest attack point to storage containers (two walls or less between troop placement and storage) and drop 50% the archers to clear defenses and near by resource producers. Two wall breakers to break initial wall, then que the rest of your archers. Drop the rest of your wall breakers in the SAME EXACT spot of the first two. They will run too the wall separating you from the storage containers. In the same spot you put the wall breakers, place your finger down unleashing all of your goblins till none are left.

Any questions?
Please post on this thread if so.

Regardless can we stay on topic and can anyone explain to me how to move a post if possible? Currently on an iPhone using the mobile version of this website.

Farming at low cup level is easy but sometime it's also quite boring somehow coz you need to spend too much time looking for a good village to farm especially when you have a high level of town hall.

However, at higher cup, it might be a lot difficult to farm since you need to have a full army in order to get a maximum amount of resource but it's not that impossible. I recorded some of my flight to show you guys here in order to see how it like to farm at higher level cup.

My cup ranges between 1600 - 1900 but in this clip it mainly around 1600+

The good thing to be in this range is I don't have to click next too often in order to find my target which is around 100K+

If you want to show people a few more about looting, I also have two more clip if you want

At low level, new player can also use this as a guide to loot. Lots of people seen this vdo and said that looting will no longer can be done at higher level. The the other vdo can prove them wrong.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpNy...8&feature=plcp

At mid level, some lv 30-40 might find this useful for them.

Mr. Forever,

Q1. How long does it take to make those troops that you used in your video?

Q2. How much loot do you make per hour?

Q3. Love your base! How long did it take you to upgrade to your current base?

Thanks.

Wow Mr Forever ,that's like taking Farming from amateur to professional level

Whereas Farming at 0 is all about goblins with little to no distraction needed ....

Farming in the major leagues is all about using Giants and archers to take out front line Splash Damage defenses and distraction from defenses more centralized

Thanks for showing us the light ..

Would you be willing to provide the community with your own guide ?

Actually ,it's both ...

Looting is based on total resources taken per battle

Farming is based on taking as much gold as possible with as few troops as possible

Yes,he used more troops, but he was also taking much more resources .

100,000 with 50 gobs at 0 : 2000 per troop ( there are targets where you can take 100,000 with 5 gobs,but they aren't frequent)

400,000 with 200 troops : 2000 per troop

Farming at 0 is easy,but not much fun

Farming at his level is not as easy ,but more rewarding and fun .

Most people at his trophy range don't even think of using gobs ,and go for resources AND cups . That's Looting.

It is farming. Why? Because there is more than one definition for farming. Does he have to use just goblins and stop at 40% to fit your description.

From what I've read on this forum, that was the definition of farming... use a constant stream of gobs + distractors.. loot low levels with fewest troops possible. Did I misread the whole thing?

It was one definition. It doesn't mean that everybody playing this game has to use it.

If we call attacks with big gold/elix dividends farming, then why not just call it looting, playing, stealing, raiding, gold grabbing, elix drinking... as well as farming? So farming means nothing then?

Stopping at 40% might be just a courtesy to other farmers. But I thought it was a style of gathering resources while keeping cups artificially low.

I argue because I dislike farming esp high level farming and wouldn't want to be considered one. :p

Thanks.

Q1. about 20-25 mins for 200 of them. The time mainly depends on wall breaker and Giant that has been used previously.

Q2. around 500k / hour if I plan to play it hardcore the same way as the VDO above was showing.

it could be increase to 750k in case that I concentrate mainly on looting. When I concentrate on looting I just use 10 wall breaker, 10 Giant and the rest are goblins. If I don't aim to reach 50% damage to get 1 star, I can get even more than 750k/hr due to the fast game looting and I don't have to force myself to reach 50% damage, as a result I can use may be 50% of my army to get all the resource from that village.

My target are those who have more than 150k of gold only which can be found easily at the range of between 1500-1700.

Q3. I start playing this game from 20s of august until now. I normally play this game after work and before going to sleep which means I normally spend time around 4-5 hours per day. I spend money around $25 to get the third & Fourth builder. The rest of gems I use them to help me finish my upgrade faster in some case.

You can take a look at my base by search my clan "surbai Thailand" (the meaning is Thailand Robinhood) Then you will be able to see my current base setup.

It depends on how you want to define the word "Farming" as you wish. However, for me it means the way to get resource as fast and as much as you would need. So, I don't care what you would call it. On way or another, the result is still the same.

Pedro's guide became obsolete the second he posted it. The whole point was there weren't many people doing it. Sure you can still farm at zero but nowhere near the ridiculous percentages he's stated in his guide, anymore.

I'm still getting 140K/140K, but I've tweaked his guide a little and am feeding on a certain subset of players.

Agreed. Still profitable under different guidelines. But if people new the new guidelines the guidelines will change again. It's up to each clan or person to figure it out their own best way of doing it. Groups of 100 people doing it 10 dif ways is better then 1000 people trying to do it only one way.

It's still doable in zero. Just less targets since people started shielding the bases. As for TH9 owners, every attack is a grind. 180k/180k per attack. 30mins per troop production though but sure get 180k/180k per attack. You just have to practice the team.

I've switched trophies though, I wanna try the 1800+ range. ;)
