Farming Guide

If you are unaware of what farming is, it is going to a lower amount of trophies than what your base would regularly be at, and attacking for loot. Depending on your Clash Of Clans experience you may already be a very good farmer. The tips I am going to share in this post are for beginner farmers, but I will also include some information that I think will help out experienced clashers as well.

How to farm: In order to find a successful league to farm in, you have to take several factors into consideration. These factors include, what is the average number of attacks I do in a season, what is my troop composition for farming, what are the requirements for my clan, and how good do you honestly think you are at attacking. I will go through the factors below and then you will be able to make an informed decision of what league you should farm in.

Average number of attacks per season:

Extremely active attacker: this is one of the most important factors for determining your league. If you are an extremely active attacker with regularly over 100 attacks per season, then you will likely be at a lower league for farming than your peers. I say this because due to the fact you attack so much, you likely have a good base setup for your level as long as you didn't rush your townhall. Your base setup will be able to gain you trophies when you need them. Unlike other players you can see a 200k raid and not worry if you lose or if you win, you will attack for loot regardless of whether it makes you drop a league, or whether it makes you lose 30 trophies.

Somewhat active attacker: if you attack an average amount per season, say around 50-100 attacks. You will likely be farming in a league that has bases that are a bit weaker, but close to your own strength. If you see a 200k raid that makes you lose trophies and drop a league you will likely think twice about attacking it. Losing trophies for you has harsher consequences than for the extremely active attackers so you will likely be in a higher league than them and you likely choose your opponents more carefully.

Not active attacker: If you aren't an active attacker and average under 50 attacks per season then you likely choose your opponents more carefully than most players, you will most likely be in a league where your base is basically equal in strength to the opponents that you face. This is dependent on whether you have a trophy base however, Because if you have a farming base then you will be lower in trophies.
