Previously, I could find a dead base in on average 100-150 searches but now I'm spending between 300 and 500k gold just on search and its impossible to cover the costs.
The other option is to use a more powerful giant-based attack combo, which works great at TH10 but not so much at TH11 because of the following reasons:
Firstly, you cannot attack TH9s profitably anymore, because of the loot penalty.
Secondly, any base you go up against will most likely have inferno towers, which are very dangerous to giants and barbs archers and wizards.
Thirdly, due to this, you will need multiple spells and heroes, and you also need to have wizards because gibarch won't be able to work against strong TH10s and even mid level TH10.
My heroes are maxed out and takes 1hr 48mins to regenerate, and without doubt i always need them to break into a th10 base, whereas previously I could attack a th9 without them. And I didn't need spells.
So adding all these extra requirements onto these attacks means that its very inefficient to use giant-based attacks because it costs so much elixir that you just can't cover the costs (250k~ per raid) and also you have to wait for heroes which are almost two hours.
I can't see anything else that might work. I did actually find farming with Gowiwi in Champion 2 to be moderately successful gaining good gold and elixir profit because you can hit 600k of each in one raid, including loot bonus, but costs a bit too much dark elixir, which means attacking once every two hours is 2-300k? per hour, quite slow but over a day u can get 2-4 million, depending on how consistent you are with attacking.
I doubt super queen will work for a TH11 because every base has infernoes and they block healing (you will only attack TH10-11s). Balloonion also always has to go up against the multi inferno.
I haven't tried laloon yet, perhaps it will work for farming too, but you need multiple spells again and both heroes (assuming you keep the warden upgrading).
So if any other TH11 has found a better more efficient way to farm please share below so we can help each other to learn :-). Based on the above reasons, I think farming at TH11 is very very difficult and even a veteran farmer with 2 billion gold grab is struggling.
Hopefully it will become easier to attack when new troop levels come out (level 7 wiz, level 8 giants and barch).
