I just strarted farming. What now?

I began farming, so now I have a few questions.
1. What is the best trophy range for a TH 8 farmer?
2. What troops should I use?

Also, check out my base!

Anyone?

there are many answers to your questions and it comes down to style as far as what will work best. what are you using for an army right now?

with regards to troops the biggest thing is to find a mix that is quick to train and effective in combat, this will generally be some combination of barbs, archers, gobs, giants, wall breakers, and for some the healer. personally i used 40 barb/60 archers/40 goblins/8 giants/10 wbs for my TH8 farming.

with regards to a farming range, looking at your base i would say you are probably a bit too high at the moment (i.e. close to 1600). since you have a level 5 lab i'm assuming you don't have any level 5 troops yet, you need to get those ASAP as stronger troops make for much better farming!

you probably want to shoot for a range below 1400 where you should find a good mix of TH7 and TH8 bases to raid, near 1600 you probably encounter a lot of TH9s which you aren't quite ready for offensively and definitely not defensively.

with regards to your base you maybe jumped the gun a bit upgrading to th8 (i did something similar myself), for now concentrate on getting your mortars and wizard towers maxed out then come back to work on teslas and cannons/archer towers. sink any extra gold you have into getting all your walls to at least pink, gold/grey walls make it too easy to wall break using level 5 wall breakers.

I would stay in the 1250-1350 or 1400 range. If you want easier DE I would go in the 1500-1575 range.

Easy way to drop trophies and still profit is to look for pumps and mines outside walls and out of range of defenses. Use just a few archers on them then surrender once they die. I can usually get much more resources than I spent on the search or the archers and my trophies drop like a rock.

Thanks dude. I sure did jump the gun with TH 8

1250-1350 is a special spot... Its really good here so come on down ;p

I love farming!!!

1200-1450 works best for farming. Im at 1420 and i get at least 500k total of resources per raid. I use archers, gobs, and barbs(some dont prefer). Always works for me :)
