  1. This is a guide to find inactives to farm....

    CHECKLIST

    Some questions that you should ask to help you identify an inactive Kingdom:
    1. Does the Kingdom have more losses than wins?
    2. What are the stats, are they equal or better than me?
    3. Are the wall posts recent or more than a month?
    3. Is the Kingdom in a clan, or just an individual?
    4. What are his/her recent awards?
    5. How much is the payout?

    INACTIVE KINGDOMS

    After this fact finding, you need to do the following:
    1. Post on the Kingdom's wall the Wins/Losses Ratio,
    - if they're active they'll wall you, ask them to delete the numbers
    - if you don't hear anything for three days, go check their current win/loss ratio against the one you posted on the wall (ooops... My post is not there!, Kingdom is active)
    - if losses have increased, wins remain the same...
    You have yourself an inactive farm! Congratulations!

    2. Once a week check win/loss ratio... - Hey! The wins increased by 5/10.. What does that mean?
    - It means the player is keeping the account alive, but has no time to play
    Keep farming, you have an inactive farm with no expiry date. 

    3. Finding Inactives by Banding..
    a. Go to ally hire, and put in your hire value... Let's say 25b
    b. Use a journal to keep track of all the names depending on the criteria in 1.
     
  2. Damn... My post got chopped
     
  3. INACTIVE CLANS

    Just like finding Inactive Kingdoms, check up on the Kingdom's clanmate..
    Use my criteria and guide above to assess
     
  4. Great guide Malestone! :)
     
  5. As always your guides are the best male keep it up
     
  6. If their win/lose increases 5/10, they still might be inactive. Someone else may know that they're inactive so they're attacking them, but they're close to the inactive's strength so they lose sometimes.
     
  7. nice guide mate =)
     
  8. GREAT I'VE FOUND AN INACTIVE KINGDOM but...

    1. ITS ALWAYS DTW
    - Wait, then attack when your timer runs to Zero, and the clock rotates to countdown from 5.00 on your troops/spies
    Still DTW? Don't waste your time..
    Go find another Inactive Kingdom

    2. FAIL
    - Wait until your troops/spies are full, then use a 500k atk pot
    - Still fail, try using 1m and 2.5m atk pots from full regen
    - Still fail, get more quality allies
    (Quality Allies - 100m hire value must have 10k combined stats)
    - You've increased your allies by 5b/100m; still fail. If this is the case, keep the name aside in your journal, you'll come back when you are at least T3L3BC or T4L1BC or T4L2BC or T4L3BC

    3. I MAKE ONLY A LITTLE BIT OF GOLD
    a. Check the Kingdom's stats, are they more than yours
    - Less, discard inactive Kingdom look for another, share it on WC, forums

    b. More, that's good...
    - Increase the number of allies, does the plunder and ally bonus go up?
    Yes, good, you've found Inactive Kingdom
    No, discard Kingdom, go look for another
    - Use pots, does the plunder go up?
    No, discard Kingdom
    Yes, Good, increase your stats with upgrades
     
  9. Sorry J3aconator, I said Wins only. Not Win/Loss
     
  10. PROFIT

    When hitting inactive Kingdoms with Pots, you must make a Profit, if you're not making a profit, discard the Inactive Kingdom and find another.

    Profit
    = (Plunder Ally Bonus) - Pot Cost
    = Positive Amount
     
  11. Thank you everyone for reading..
    I hope this helps in your search to upgrade yourself and have a steady income even during PWar when OSF is sleeping etc

    Please add to this guide to make it even better
     
  12. The Banding is used by JP, thank you for that area... 
     
  13. I have like 8 inactive clams 
     
  14. Nice...
    I only have 4 Inactive Clans, but only use 3 Inactive Kingdoms, since I've outgrown too many if them. 
     
  15. I thought the battle list is how you find inactives... ;)



    Just kidding.
     
  16. Yes, BattleList is good too
    It's like banding but closer to your hire value.

    Nice suggestion...
    Thank you
     
  17. But BattleList is always filled with Active People, seldom the Inactives unless the Kingdom is the once a week player, who is keeping his/her Kingdom alive.

    Expire date of Kingdoms:
    120-days from last activity by the owner of said Kingdom
     
  18. The battle list Is made by pulling the most recently active players who have similar stats...battle list is always active
     
  19. I was kidding about the battle list! But are you sure about the whole 120 days thing? It seems like I've been hitting this same inactive for way longer than that. And it had been used as a farm way before I knew about it.
