Best league/trophy range for loot? Mid-way TH8

Hello guys. I'm a level 62, slightly new TH8. I have mostly maxed troops for TH7. Just my Balloons, Dark Troops and Spells were left. Anyways, as a TH&, I dropped to Silver II and the loot was AMAAAZZZING!!!!! Literally, 200k Gold and 200k Elixir each raid. But, after I turned TH8, I found less loot, like 102k Gold and 102k Elixir. Then, I decided to level up my King and, so, I went to Gold and got my King to level 2. After that, I started to upgrade my TH stuff and got all level 6 walls and more.... Anyways, I have also started raiding the single player maps, and have 3-starred all, but the last 5. I have been getting a lot of loot from these. But, now, I'm in need of loot. Gold and Elixir is hard to find, as I'm in the 1600 trophy range. My defense is great (ALL WON!!!!!) and so, yeah. What trophy range? Silver, Gold I, Crystal? You guys tell me. Thanks.

I maxed my th8 in gold 3 on full collector raids.

Yes. Gold 3 is the best. Take a full army of archers search for about 4 minutes give or take a few, and you will find a inactive base with approx. 200k each in collectors. GL

1350-1450 works well for me. C3 for dark

For me, I maxed my Th8 in Silver 2 using barch then went up to farm DE in gold I/II using Giants and archers.

For a th8, silver1 & gold league are the better options if you are looking for gold, elxr as well as DE. But you will get attacked by strong th9 players. If you steal 200k, they steal 300k from you. So I prefer to stay in silver2...but have to search a lot...

Yeh I find Gold3 good for loot, but I've been destroyed by TH9 a few times. Just barch and find bases with collectors full.

Gold 2 is a great place to loot.

I'm currently using all barbarians in Gold III. It's amazing how well it works. As I'm getting some of the longer TH8 upgrades going, I'm having to raid less because my storage's are filling up too fast.

GOLD 3 AND 2 are great for low to mid TH 8.
