How do people farm 1 million gold an hour?

[TrentSabanRobot]

I raid much differently now, but when I was on for 1-2 hours at a time, I would use BAM or Barch. If you can conserve troops with Barch, you can get maybe 5-6 attacks in per hour. With BAM, maybe 6-7. If you spend all your troops each battle, you'll get 5 attacks per hour with BAM and 4 per hour with BARCH.

So, to hit 1 Mil gold per hour, you need to do one of these things:

1) Boost your barracks
2) Do not use all of your troops each raid.
3) Get at least 200k gold per raid with BAM, or 250k gold per raid with Barch

The time of day has a lot to do with finding collector raids and abandoned bases, if i raid between 2-6pm, I would be finding the majority of people from some other country that are fast asleep, and slowly they wake up and its hard to find as many between as they would be farmed and no longer available, find a time that works for you and try get as many at that time as u can.

So it's not that hard. Sadly I have to say that there have been no collecter raids the last week since clan wars..
So it needed to change my strategy a little bit and that is what I did.

So, I'm townhall 8. Around 1500 cups. There are a lot of townhall 8 and noob townhall 9 bases.
I go for storage raids, I can easy access and there are alot. So I get a lot of loot easy.

I have 4 baracks ofcourse,
Train 1 wall breaker and 1 giant in every one of them, so you get 4 wb and 4 giants.
Then fill up 2 baracks with archers, the other two with barbarians, works really good.
I maybe don't farm a mill in an hour, but I can attack 3/4 times in an hours and get a nice 500-700k gold.
I know how long it takes to train my troops..

Seriously, what is your strategy? How are people making over 1 million gold an hour? I'm struggling to make even half of that. I am using Barch in the 1300-1400 zone right now. Collector bases are rare though, and most enemies are too strong for a Barcher army, yet I keep hearing that Barcher is what these people who make 1 million an hour are using. How are you actually doing this?

Barching involves searching out the correct base layout type IME

Maybe consider add a few Giants and/or WBs and to the party. yes it will take longer, but if you are cracking those tougher bases, then it may be worth it.. IME 4-6-8 minutes extra cook time can be worth the wait, since you should be able to get into a 2nd layer storage much easier. as this build is a bit more balanced and will open more base layout variety to your current selections.

so each rax I cue 2WBs, 2Giants (8 of each using all four rax) with your Barch/Bam build.. (Or just WBs if you BAM, will save on time)then once you have them cooked, only use them when needed; replace once used.

it saves time to do them in mass.. so cook up 4 giants in 2 min kinda thing..8 in 4 min.. this really beefs up the hp tank ability, and the arches can sit safely behind them and fire away at defenses/storages..

I cue them; then go search for more loot in those 4-8 minutes and hope to find a collector raid, or an exposed TH to keep my place a bit..then if the search is nil finds, then I go back to base and get the troops that have been cooking while I searched.. refill the barracks and go back out to the arena...

rinse repeat..

If straight Barch/BAM isn't quite working how you whish, then tweak it a smidge.. maybe you only need 4WBs and4 Giants to augment your Barch..that's an extra 4 min on your build and shouldn't throw off your raid schedule too much..

When ppl say they farm 1m per hour they mean in total resources ... 500k gold 500k elixir

No they aren't. They are referring to 1 million gold per hour. At TH8 I routinely farmed 1.5 million gold per hour using a BAM strategy. I can still get 1 mil gold per hour on occasion at th9 using the same strategy.

The only possible way to farm 1.5 million gold per hour without boosts is to fill up 2 barracks with barbs, 2 with archers, and both of your dark barracks with minions. Keep them full all the time. And then look for collector raids between 1400-1800 trophys. Use as few troops as possible to get the loot. Have 1 lightning and the rest rage spells ready in case you find a nice DE raid where the storage is behind 1 or 2 walls and u can use your minions to get all the DE. I would usually get in 8-10 raids per hour using this method and almost always I was farming 1.5-2 million gold per hour.


The problem is that SuperCell has pushed all of the collector raids so far back in the matchmaking process so I'm not sure if 1.5 mil per hour is still doable. However, at th8 you still should be able to get 1 mil per hour using this method.

Forget about storages, that's fools gold. It just takes too long to cook an army that can consistently get to storages. The most you can make is around 800k gold per hour when attacking storages.

When ppl say they farm 1m per hour they mean in total resources ... 500k gold 500k elixir

I do around 1/1.2million gold per hour and 1million elixir no problem at all non boosted if running with boosted barracks can do around 2.5-3.3million gold and 2mill elixir.

Either using bam/barch or 12giants, 8wallbreakers, 84archers, 60 barbs.
townhall 9 range 1650-1800

keep on pressing that next button!

Well, what i do is to use about 20 hogs, 4 healing spell (use as match as you need and boost SF), 60 archers and about 50-60 barbs. i farm at gold 1 and loot is pretty great. I go for bases that have at least 1k DE and 200k of each gold and elixir. I only go for bases that has lower than 1k DE if they have a lot of resources. What's great is that if you have high level hogs (4-5) and 5-6 lvl healing spell you can %100 almost any base till th10.

Secondo me è quasi impossibile

Another alternative is farming below 200, and especially below 100 trophies. You find powder puff bases down there with between 50-70 k of gold that you can loot with 5-10 archers and gobs, and you can replace your troops as fast as you use them. The last time I was there I was TH8, and managed to average 1mil-1.5 mil per hour as long as I didn't waste time chatting. The big downside is that you have to play long sessions without breaks because every time you go offline you wind up getting a ton of unwanted trophies from others who are trying to keep their trophy count down, and it takes about a 15-30 minutes of low-loot game time to get back to the sub 100 trophy range that produces the best results. You also don't see much dark elixer down there.
