They say loot sucks for TH10 nowadays

can I visit your clan and watch some replay to learn?

I farm with balloonions in 2600-2800. Most efficient for me is 20 balloons, rest minions (keeps cook times near 40 minutes). Drop maybe 1 spell per raid on average.

Last 5 raids total:
gold: 273+378+202+157+246=1.256 mil
purple (don't care about it): 307+36+330+228+83=984k
dark: 3633+2904+3534+1006+582=11,659

Half collector raids, half bases with storages on the perimeter. Few balloons at a time tank for minions and destroy archer towers and WTs, always get the 50% and most of the loot.

One of those raids took only 12 balloons, I drop my queen about every other raid at the end to ensure 50% and the bonus.

All wins. These have been in Master 3, so tack on 5×75k=375k each of gold and purple, plus 2000 dark.

I keep my TH inside until I have over 3 mil gold... below that, I am rarely attacked. Once my gold is over 3 mil, I get attacked so I put my TH outside.

Nexting is varied. Maybe 50 on average. Sometimes 6, sometimes 80.

I had my biggest loot ever a few days back when I was around 2850... 750k gold and purple, and 6600 dark.

I hate dropping below 2500 or so, but haven't actually tried in a few months.

When my cups are too high, I drop by cooking minions, goblins, archers and raiding every 5-10 minutes, collecting loot on the way down. Pays off well.

We are tough to find... One of a TON of clans named Pollos Hermanos. I assume we are the only one with a Grogg (my username). usually around 40 members, 20k cups, blue shield with a yellow flame.

Who says loot sucks for TH10 now? I've always found enough - haven't done any walls lately, but cannons and archer towers were all maxed recently using hogs around mid-Crystal then a bit of BAM all over crystal, and now I'm back to ballooning in lower-Masters to just keep the gold and DE ticking over as I've only got a few 14-day upgrades before all defenses and traps are maxed then I guess it's back to 1-million-a-piece walls. Basically I've always managed to keep 4-5 builders busy, and my lab.

Personally I've found Crystal to be a mixed bag, sometimes great sometimes really dry, whereas Masters tends to be more consistent (tougher bases, but plenty of gold and DE if you look). Definitely, time of day and day of week makes a big difference, too, in terms of how much collector loot you can find. I haven't been below about 2100 trophies for a very long time, as I get sick of seeing TH8 and below, and would rather skip bases that are too tough, then see endless weak ones with no loot...

In terms of army, I found hogs fantastic until the latest update which means you now need too many hogs and too many spells so I don't use them anymore for farming. BAM was a mixed bag, great for dropping trophies and good fast loot sometimes, but not great overall. Balloons are a great army for consistent results, as long as 30-40 minutes per attack suits you - it's especially good if you can get a few raids in through the day, I can usually log off for an hour or two without getting attacked. I would try b-arch, which I've used a lot of at lower TH levels up to Crystal, but I personally think the brew time comes out a bit too long, and it requires heroes too much to salvage 50% (and the heroes update means they die more often now), same for all archers.

That's roughly 376,800 gold per hour --- I think that's low......

depends how you count hours. I can jump on, play for 10 minutes, and get a big loot. play something else, make dinner, come back, repeat. There are more efficient ways to raid, but I have less fun. I occasionally drop cups with quick back-to-back raids, giving my gobs some exercise... But it's no fun to do it all the time. fewer raids and bigger loots suits me better.

I see your points (except counting hours) AND, I shouldn't even be in this thread since I'm not a 10 and have no experience as a 10...

...sooooo, all you big boys just ignore me as I slink away......

Also... Your math is bad. 1.6 mil gold accumulated in a session lasting 5 raids with cook time at 40 minutes (disregarding the fact that I had one 12-balloon raid on my list)...

Remember that a 5 raid session includes 4 cooks (you start with an army cooked)... About 2.5 hours of cook time makes this about 640k gold per hour even if I kept the iPad on the whole time. subtract nexting costs and it's still solid for TH10.

(sorry to get all defensive, but your comment irritated me a bit)

I Barch in Crystal I so 2400-2600. I look for inactive bases and usually get 200-300k each of gold and elixir and around 2-3.6k de. I have never really counted but it takes me usually about 30-50 nexts. I could be off though but the searches seem reasonable to me. Was able to farm 16 mil gold to get my last two xbows maxed in about 3 days without boosting barracks.

Oh and I am a TH10. Still kind of a newer one. As I only have level 2 infernos and such. Also people aren't good at attacking in crystal. I woke up to +75 trophies.

Can't you see? The th is burning.
