Where you were farming best at th7 is where you should remain as a premie th8. Remember, you still have the exact same troops level and capacity as a th7; the only difference between you and them at that point is really the fact that you gain 10% less loot from them.
Your best alternative as a premie th8 is to remain around 900-1200 and keep feeding on a steady diet of rich th6s and weak th7 or to go up to 1200-1400 and risk pressing next 50 times before you find an inactive gold collector raid.
I had this problem as a premie th8 and decided to go too high in trophies because I kept pressing next and skipping those th6s, but I didn't have the firepower to take on those rich th8s while waiting for my labs to finish the level 5 upgrades.
I chose to go up to 1200-1400 and regretted it then went back down to 900-1200 because I took sharonsym's advice and it was half decent then. I became impatient and gemmed lab time for my BARCH to level 5 and I absolutely hammered almost every rich gold base (be it storage or collectors) I found whilst on my way to 1637 trophies currently. When I finished level 5 giants, I was able to go even more deeper into the base and take out their storages, sometimes even 100% a decent th8 (if I clear out the outer buildings and unleash my archers in a semi-circle).
I finished my th8 under 8-10 days ago and I've already farmed 155 skull walls (level 8). I would upgrade more today as I currently have 4m gold in my storage but, I think I would rather save that for level 5 WTs.
As you can see I've absolutely smashed sharonsym's personal best of 225 skulls in 21 days. Level 5 troops are THAT GOOD, you will laugh at how easily you smash the bases that you struggled at with level 4 troops then.
My plan for now is to take my time with the remaining 70 level 7 walls as I can easily max those in under 5 days. I'm going to max my splash defenses starting tomorrow, take my bk to level 5 for iron fist, finish those walls and hit the th upgrade button.
Hope this helped.

hey sharonsym,
how should I prioritize my dark rax? like i have 3 builders, and im planning to get the 2 tesla's, which is 3 builders total (1 town hall+2 teslas). When the tesla's finish, i'll only have a day left on my th8. should i get the dark rax or start on a splash? i already have 1 lvl5 mortar btw
thanks!
