Quick Loot Guide

Well, I typed some stuff, then they changed it a day later!  For the new loot system details, go here.

Loot Penalty/Loot Bonus

• 5% of available loot for attacking a TH level 4+ lower (TH8 vs TH4 or lower)
• 25% of available loot for attacking a TH level 3 lower (TH8 vs TH5)
• 50% of available loot for attacking a TH level 2 lower (TH8 vs TH6)
• 90% of available loot for attacking a TH level 1 lower (TH8 vs TH7)
• 100% of available loot for attacking a TH level equal (TH8 vs TH8)
• 110% of available loot for attacking a TH level 1 higher (TH8 vs TH9)
• 150% of available loot for attacking a TH level 2 higher (TH8 vs TH10)

Essentially, attacking any town hall 2 levels lower is not profitable.  When someone with a th9 or th10 talks about loot penalty killing their ability to farm resources, this is what they're talking about.  Inversely, a th7 or th8 can find a great deal of loot from a th9 or th10.
