You will struggle a little bit, however give it a try and you'll be great! Good luck!

Without boost, it takes me 30+ minutes to train 240 goblins, and since my gobs are low level i need to use full army to get all collectors, however it costs really really less which is great but the training time matters for me :( sad that i havent upgraded my goblins.
Great strategy anyways.

This video is just a simple demonstration/voiceover on how Nerf's guide should be applied during the in game attacking process.

Once again thanks to Nerf713 for keeping my workers busy XD
I just tried this with my lvl 3 goblins and got 1.2mil gold and 1.1mil elixir in an hour. I can't wait until my goblins reach level 4 to see how much I can get then lol :D
I am a TH10 and I tried this strategy for a few days now. I started at 3400 trophies level and had great success "milking" and trading trophies for loots. Eventually, I dropped all the way down to 600 trophies. What I noticed is that the loots started to dry up from Gold 3 and lower. The search took significantly longer and the loots are lesser. I am slowly pushing my way up again using Giants/Archers. I would like to go up to at least Master 1 then restart the process again.
How do you guys maintain the goblin raids without dropping significant amount of trophies? Is this a way to quickly recover the lost trophies without spending extra time to push back up? I gain some trophies back from defenses, but definitely not quickly enough to sustain the goblin raids continuously.
Well damn...I earlier hated this strategy but now I love it.
After I'm done barching in great loot time (forecaster) I use this strategy and can continue doing my walls.I'm sad that I didn't upgrade my goblins..will do them now.
I'm defo going to try this when my 2 day shield expires,got full Gold n Elixir Storages n 50k DE but no Builders for 2 days or research for 2 days so no raiding for 48hrs noooooooo
Edit: Have saved link in case this thread is removed as gaining loot these days seem to be against SC rules lol.
im a new th10 w/ lv5 goblins. boosted 4 barraks.
got total almost 7m gold & elix in about 1 1/2 hrs.
thanks nerf.. will share this with my clan mates..
:):):):)
I REALLY hope supercell fixes the loot problem... Because if I'm gonna be surrounded by players obsessing over all the "milking" they're doing I'm just gonna quit like ♥♥♥ is this ♥♥♥♥♥.
Yea same here, I hope the loot problem does get fixed. The thing is Milking works for any attacker because it doesn't matter if the bases you farm are boosting or not someone will milk your base even if you are showing 20-15k in the pumps lol. The strategy works and it works for almost every TH that's why this strategy got such an amazing response. U do not need maxed spells, maxed heroes, maxed troops.
BTW this strat works with 2 barracks on boost. 1hr I got 800k on both gold and elixir with 2 barracks boost and I am TH11. Better than waiting 1hr 30mins for troops to ready and attack for 400k-500k offers and then spend 200k readying up troops again.
I am an almost maxed th9 struggling to fimd loot for my last set of walls...gonna try this and see if it works...not holding my breath
Im looking forward to giving this a try. I have always found it hard to make a good return on elixir - I don't have a lot of time for raiding and find I either build a strong army and spend as much as i get, or I use giants/archer/gobs, and then get impatient when nexting and attack the wrong target!
Hopefully this method will allow me to make the most of my rare moments of uninterrupted play.
I will try after current war and let you know how it goes.
A word or warning though.... A friend told me about this thread, and I decided to google for it and more info. Search for 'coc milking' at your own risk ;)
Thanks for the guide.It's work great,but what is the best league to steal DE?
will continue to use until SC decides to change this too and nerf gobs.

Thought:
I feel like SC knew all along that the Dec 2015 update was going to be ♥♥♥♥ty. They made the goblins more effective so we could use the milking strategy. Testing their troop variables by letting us play through the game finding all the problems for them. Then fixing the problems. We make interesting test subjects lol.
I may try this. Only prob is when u see 600k base with all dead collectors inside... Then its time for barch
Idk will mix some things and see what is more profitable for th11
I created an account just for this post because I really have to give credits to TS.
I'm a TH9, mid, trophy 2800. Leap of faith, I boosted my barracks for 1 hour with lvl5 goblins and brought my trophies down to 1100, while at the same time following this guide. My loot:
3m gold
4m elixir
10k DE
Side note, I never used heroes, nor snipes. Pure milking. It really works! Crazy but true!!!
Great guide!!! Never regretted dropping trophies. Keep it up!!!
Is this efficient for TH7?
Still working for you guys?
Thank you, I really appreciate the support! :thumbsup:Good luck!
Yes it is, but try to go to about 800 or less. Good luck!
Yes, still working like a charm. Good luck!
To everyone: Thank you very much for 50k views! I really appreciate all the support, and I hope that this guide helped you. Thanks once again!
Why is the name milking though? It honestly sounds strange... I like farming more :smirk:
I think this guide was actually too good haha! When I log off (when I'm 800-1000), about 10 people will attack me, and raise me about 100 trophies :(
Milking works great though!
The forum community decided to coin that term, I know it may sound strange at first, but it is a pretty good name for what you are doing...:smirk:
Good luck!
Lol that's a little low-league problem. Just make sure to play Hot-Potato with them :smirk:.
Good luck!
I'm a th8 and i tried this strategy and it works!
I finished my walls level 8 right now using this strategy, thanks!
btw I gone up to gold 2 and start milking from there.
I'm wondering how the cessation of 1 gem boost will affect this strategy. It should be today that everyone has run out of cheap boost, so will report back. It's been reasonably good up until now. :)
Any TH11s in silver/gold? What's the loot like down there right now, without the 1 gem boost? Thinking of dropping from masters, but want to make sure the loot is there. I'm tired of war-like raids that I can only do every 2 hrs.
I've been down here and its still good. I just think its pretty sad that farming has resulted to this. How's farming up there?
Also my Review on the update, might go back to milking...

Hi,
i am on gold 1 and I can find some good ancient bases with loot as a th9.
I'm planning on making a new account and rushing to th9 upgrading only LaLoon and farming troops. Since I'd only have to upgrade golems, this seems perfect :)
I'm almost a max TH10 defense with max queen and king is on his way up. I just upgraded to TH11 and want to farm my warden up asap. This still pretty viable? I'm down with "boring" farming. I actually enjoy it while I watch TV and stuff.
Just wanted to see if any TH11s still using this, and if i should milk my way down from crystal :)
Thanks in advance!
Check this out too

I can confirm that this strategy is still viable, got 2M Elixir and 1M gold in one hour, non-boosted.
Nerf said silver, but I don't purposely drop trophies since I can find 60k-70k collector raids in all trophy range. Right now I'm floating between gold 2 and gold 3. If you want "optimal result", you can drop to silver, but when you rest, you can get pushed back up to gold pretty quickly.
Definitely still working as a new th9 and a mid way th7. The TH7 is even better because it saves so much elixir and only needs 1.5 mil or so for most upgrades and I can get that in a very short session. Dropping replays for my clan and they still dont try it. SMH
Does not really grab dark though, as there are just not enough exposed drills.
As a th11, how much loot should be in collectors in order to attack them? 30k+ of at least one resource?
Pick on all collectors that's easy to get as long as the gold mines look like this:
http://i.imgur.com/YOXRID4.jpg
(Or pretty much E2/G2 and above in this chart)
It doesn't matter if there are only a few collectors outside the wall. Be it 10k or 20k profit. Take what you can get with minimum number of goblins and move onto next target.
For me at least, Barching in gold is slightly better, just got 4 mil each in a boost session in gold 2.
By TH10/TH11, an army of barch cost like 95k elixir whereas goblins cost like 36k. So it's good for new TH10 (who haven't finished upgrading all army camps and farming troops) and TH11 to use this strategy to conserve elixir.
Barch is still a good strategy. After TH10 have lvl 7 barch and 240 camp space, I'd recommend using it in Master league and above for more dark elixir.
i was wondering if i was allowed to make a 2nd thread about this and give u the credit to put the message out there more but before i need ur permission but how do i make the pics that size because if i put them in attachments no one will see them.
I'm TH9.. farmed in Silver II
1hr with boost.. All gobs raid (no heroes used)
Result: 2mill of each gold and elixir.
Thanks for the guide :)
/Kruger
Will this workout for me if i want to max lvl 11 walls? Because i usually boost 4 hrs a day and i make 8 to 9mil gold per day which is 2 walls of lvl 11 but i'm doing storage raid with giants, wbs and barch + all spells so it cost alot of elixir.
I've been giving milking a go with lots of success.
I milked all the way down from Champions 3 - getting heaps and heaps of loot on the way down.
After a couple of days of quite casual milking I found that at around 1500 and below it became really difficult to find any bases with loot in the collectors.
I'm thinking that this may be because the other TH11's (and 10's) are down there with similar intentions.
Any thoughts on this?
The only other thing i can think is at 1500 and below I'd need to do some serious boost sessions and pick at the 20K's i find
My plan is to have some fun pushing back up with giant based pink elixir armies and then drop down again with milking, see how that works out - i'll let you know
But interested in what people think about the sub 1500 trophies at TH11
I'm currently a th8 and I'm about to try this milking method out. Seems like everyone is getting a lot of loot from just using goblins. That's pretty interesting to me. Anyways thank you for taking your time and posting this. 🍼
I was milking🍼 for like 1 hour and got 3 million gold and elxir. Also 2 thousand dark elxir. This milking strategy works like a charm
This strategy is amazing!
Currently I have achieved near 2 million gold through this strategy, enough to buy myself two Hidden Teslas!
