TH9 - farming the 1500-1600 range

For all new TH9 players this might come in handy. My dumb ♥♥♥ kept farming 1200-1400 after I hit TH9 ~3 weeks ago. I've been focused on that trophy range for so long, that I never stopped to think that the loot penalty obviously hits you hard there with all those TH7's. Most importantly, the amount of inactive bases seem the same or even higher. Though the latter might be due to the holidays.

With lvl6 archers alone, 1500-1600 appears to be a new sweet spot. No doubt common knowledge amongst seasoned TH9, but new to me and perhaps other starting TH9.

I started two days ago with the new range and today has been an especially good day so far while elixer hunting. Any similair experiences?

Getting attacked a lot in that range? How is it compared to 1200-1400?

ive farmed from 1300 - 2200

Attackers are more agressive. As opposed to 99% TH attacks
in the 1200-1400 range. But I was about 85% maxed out when upgraded, and using Pingfao's layout has worked wonders. No big problems so far.
