Good farming for TH9's?

[HogAddict]

I see posts all over and plenty of people talking about getting "great loot" in certain leagues. What do you consider to be great loot? And where are you getting it. I'm a TH9 with max defense but very poor walls and lower heroes. Where would I be able to get loot to help a keep upgrading a healthy amount of walls a day and decent DE for hero upgrades every so often?

I consider great loot to be 200k to 300k of gold and elixir resources when I'm farming for them. Beyond 300k is insane for me. I usually farm anywhere from 1600 to 1900 range (and there are still some rough spots, but the sweet spots are amazing).

Try gold 3 to gold 2 ish

Or you can try using giwibam or something of the sort up in masters for the loot bonus.

I'm in the same exact situation and I've been experimenting with it and I am currently in masters using lavaloonion and it gets me good practice with this attack plus I find good loot. If I don't find a good place with loot then I just snipe a place for the bonus. So it's a win no matter what. It's a little hard to find a place though but it's worth the search every time.

Depends, I typical hunt for one type of loot versus another. I stay around Crystal 1/2.

Now that I'm maxed all my gold upgrades, with only a few elixir upgrades, I tend to focus on DE.

1600 is about the minimum I'll aim for with Loonioning (spending 500 de - 300 de loot bonus) so I net 1400 per attack. Can usually get 20k a day playing semi-casually, 10k playing casually and well over 30K+ of DE if I want to go hardcore and boost.

Back when I was actively farming for gold, I'd keep gold at a minimum of 200k and elixir at 100k minimum (enough to cover expense) with league bonuses, it's acceptable. If I needed elixir more, then I'd up the elixir requirement and avoid using spells at all cost.

And of course, paying it forward and sniping THs that didn't have much loot available for the quick and easy loot bonus.

I've been doing two boost sessions per day for a week, trying to finish out the last of my lavas while upgrading heroes. I'm a maxed TH9 and stay 15-1700, because I look for both DE as well as gold & elixir. I'm trying to max the game for GG & EE, so relying on loot bonuses isn't my thing, plus I hate waiting for armies to cook, so I use only Barch. Never use DE troops outside of war. If you're smart about base selection and you keep you're barracks cued, you earn alot quickly.

As for the size of the raids, if I see more than 1k DE, accessible, I will use an entire Barch army to hit it, regardless of any other resources. If I see gold & elixir above 200k each, I will hit that regardless of the DE. There's really no "wrong" way to farm... just better ways for the outcome you're looking for. We have alot of folks in the clan that sit in masters and live off the bonuses, but I like a faster mode of play.

Hope the project goes well!

I was doing great at 3000 with giwiz i kept hitting th9s or ealy th10swith single target infernos, i was able to keep both heroes up non stop and keep my builders busy and dump excess ressurces on walls. Now my defenses ate maxed aq is 21 and bk is 18 and i just got lavas left so i dropped to g1 to grind those.

Unfortunately it varies as other players move about. A while back silver leagues were great, this week I have had great hunting in gold leagues. After a few nexts (up to 10) I can usually find a nice TH8 with gold and elixir combined total over 300k, plus over 1k in DE. Using giant healer I take it. I agree with Axion, it is best to concentrate on one resource at a time. I'm not fussed about DE at the moment (doing walls) so I only look at the gold/elixir total.

[ExcaliburBL1221]

Well I'm okay with 200k of each plus bonus loot from Crystal 3.

I suggest you that league,great for farming gold and elixir, if you farm D.E. go to crystal 1-2.

Just how poor are your walls?

I think if your walls are a mixture of level 7 to level 8 staying in G3 - G1 is your best bet to get your walls up sooner whilst keeping your heroes under, it's only once your heroes get past 20 each that you need to farm higher up like M3 - Champs to keep them both going.

Good loot I would probably say about 130K+ of each and 500 DE if barching is decent if it is easy and you only need a fraction of your force to obtain. Otherwise 200K each is also good. I find the higher in leagues I go, the higher my loot requirements go as well because I tend to use more heavy duty armies that take longer to cook, when combined with the league bonus it does go a long way.
