Questions About Farming? Loot Problems? Ask Away!

Town Hall Level: - TH8

Current Trophy Count: - Lower 1500s

Current Army Composition: - Barch or BAG (barch with goblins)

Army Camp Space: - 200 with 25 in cc

How many hours to you play a day on average? - When I actually get decent loot, probably 2-4 hours. (spread out ofc)

Do you raid in 2-hour sessions or just come on when your army is ready? - I do a bit of both. When my work and chores are done, I do 4-6 raids in one session. But when I'm busy/doing stuff, I'll attack when my army is ready.

If you raid in sessions, do you boost? If so, how many barracks: - None.

Availability of Heroes: - Level 10 King

Your question, along with any additional information you would like to provide: I'd like to farm up walls and I guess get some DE as well.

I've been in gold league for almost 6 months now, and I used to find inactive raids all the time, but recently (since the 1 gem boost) I haven't found anything good.

Hey all!

I am a near maxed defence th9 (except walls) trying to look for gold and dark exlir to upgrade both my walls and heros. I am currently sitting at 1560 cups ( gold 3 ) and is finding mostly 200k loot and sometimes 300k-400k ( Mostly storage based).The de here is usually abt 1k de per raid. I am using balloonion to farm and sometimes switch to barch. I have been recently hearing news abt people having success in crystal with barch and im wondering if it is true....Also i am curious if farming the champion/ master league bonus will be a good option.

Any advice will be appreciated! Thanks!!

I will get back to both of you as soon as I get back home in a few hours. Thanks for your patience

So, after BAMing in gold league for the better part of a year I'm at nearly 1 billion GG/EE and 3.1m HH. I have about 20 lavas to go, have BK and AQ at lvl 24 and 23, respectively, and am otherwise fully maxed at TH9. I plan to start my TH10 upgrade within 2 weeks.


Collector raids in gold league bring fantastic loot but I'm bored with it. Last night I decided to do a lazy trophy push. And by that I mean protecting my town hall. This morning I woke up with 2750 trophies in masters league. My Queen is currently upgrading and I'm not having much luck getting 50% with BAM. I've also tried balloonion but without the Queen I always find myself using multiple spells.

What is the most efficient farming method in masters league, assuming max TH9 troops? I'm quite happy to boost. Ideally I'm looking for something that will bring in mainly dark elixir, but enough gold and elixir to upgrade defenses.

Hi,

Giants, wall breakers and barch or bam can often get to the storages.

Personally I barch in champs for 1-star to get champion league bonus.

So can I get help now..?

Hi, hoping to get some help here.

I used to get loads of loot as a town hall 8 in Silver 1 and 2 just barching. I then struggled after i moved up to town hall 9. I then found some good loot in gold but was inconsistent so moved up to crystal and masters for the loot bonus but takes me ages to find a base I can actually attack.

I currently look for a town hall near the outside in crystal 2 and attack with 8 giants, 8 wallbreakers, 82 barbs and 82 archers.

I play in two hour sessions once or twice a day and quite often boost all my barracks.

Town Hall level: 9
Current trophy count: 2178
Current army composition:8 giants, 8 wallbreakers, 82 barbs and 82 archers
Army camp space: 220
2 hour sessions all barracks boosted once or twice a day
Heroes:Hopefully both upgrading at all times

Please could you help as I keep trophy pushing to get the loot bonus but then dropping down as the bases are too hard and I have to next all the time to find someone I can attack. Should i push and farm the loot bonus (with what army) or drop down to gold or silver and barch.

Any help is much appreciated.

Gold 2 and 1 with your current army and everything. Just make sure you raid at right time of day. clashofclansforecaster.com is a good tool to tell when that is. Good luck!

I would go to champ III and stay between 3150 and 3250 cups and farm the league bonus. It is great for DE which you need a lot of.

Attack for one star either by taking TH or 50% on outside buildings.

I use barch only at the moment.

As Onyx said, Gold 1 is great to attack full TH8s. I also recommend Gold 2, I've been farming from 1800, and when I farm I tend to drop trophies by losing a lot of farming raids, so I keep farming till I'm at about 1500, and then I go right back up to 1800. I get a lot of collector raid at about 29 nexts/raid (average of 107 attacks). With your lv5 barch, I think stick to collector raids until you're strong enough to start storage raiding (exception: many TH8s are penetrable with TH8 BAM and Barch). Also, as Onyx said, if you're in a heavy war clan, do a TH8.5 strategy (that's where you upgrade just your offence and walls first, so you don't hurt your clan's war matchmaking. However, if you're in a farming clan, like me, where war matchmaking doesn't matter much or you don't war at all, go ahead and get the xbows. You'll get attacked less often and sniped more often because they're scary

Shadow, thanks for a truly great thread. It's obvious that you really like the game, and that you have considerable aptitude as a teacher and writer - I imagine due to inborn talent as well as practice.

Concrete, well thought-out advice, and it goes beyond that into inspiration, the suggestion to do a "TH8.5" build, for example. Good stuff!

Yes, shadow has talents. I knew that since he told me that donuts are good.......
