Talk:Attack Strategies/Low Trophy Farming/@comment-25759447-20150527194146

New player here; started a few days ago. Not having much luck here with a TH5. This is the key bit -- "You should be able to find lots of villages with 30-50k where the defenses are weak enough for you to get at least most if not all the gold using only 15-20 Goblins." At around the 200 trophy mark, that just doesn't happen very often. Actually, I don't know if I've ever seen it happen at all. Most bases around the 200 mark have crap loot!

However, maybe the strategy works better at higher trophy levels. You're much more likely to run into 30K gold or elixir bases when you're around the 400-600 trophies. Maybe all the abandoned bases that used to be at 200 trophies have now been attacked enough times, and won enough victories, that they're no longer farmable at 200 trophies.
