If you’ve started Season 2, I suggest Province 1, Stage 2 on Hard setting. Costs 10 World Energy flags but almost always drops multiple swords and backpacks. As in, two to five backpacks each time through plus some swords. And if you have Loot Tickets it’s a gimme.
Quick correction: 7-4 is faster than 8-7 for monster chests (even though I still choose 8-7 if I know I have enough energy, because of the extra recruits)

I dunno about filling the monster chest… but I been doing loot ticket drops on season 2 15-8 hard mode… it’s 12 flags to play but you get 33-35 recruits each time, lots of swords n packs… and the xp, food and iron are more then playing 8-7 four times. I will always go back to 8-7 when I have little to work with. But if you need a great place to drop some loot tickets, I highly recommend giving 15-8 on hard mode a try. It’s a great way to build up days on all those training camps.
I need to know where to farm for troops so that I can level my 4* troops. Does anyone know of a good place to farm for troops at?
The data that @BarryWuzHere collects suggests that 1-5-6 has the highest drop rate (per world-energy).

Thank you so much Kerridoc
Caveat: I’m trying to apply some statistical science to the data collected, and my opinion is that the variations in troop drop rates that the project are mostly due to random numbers and insufficient samples to get to proper averages.
My current believe is that feeder troop drop rates, PER RUN are the same across the entire map, making the best results being your otherwise favorite place to farm troops for the lowest WE cost (i.e. your favorite farming in the 3-flag zone)
On the other hand, hero drop rates seem to mostly follow WE costs, so there’s not a huge difference based on where you farm.
Both hero and troop drop rates are most certainly low enough that I would need a LOT more data than the 19,000+ farming runs I’ve got to analyze, if there actually are levels with significantly better hero and troop drop rates to be found at all.

Does anyone know when the next season or what E&P is calling season 3 is coming out? Also does anyone know when they may be doing the next Atlantis draw? Thank you everyone for all the help 
Next season … when SG mentioned the things they were planning to roll out in 2019, that wasn’t on the list as I recall it.
Next Atlantis portal and Atlantis Rises where farming Atlantis improves? That should be Thursday the 23rd.

@BarryWuzHere Do you by any chance know what heroes they may be presenting? Thank you for all the help.
Featured heroes for this Atlantis? Not really.
Ursena has been beta tested and I’d expect her to be released. There aren’t any other new Atlantis 5* heroes.
When Atlantis Rises was beta tested I imagine to do that the devs had to activate the the summon portal and they featured Gravemaker, Hel, and Inari as well … but I don’t think that is compelling evidence we will see those three, although it seems about time for Gravemaker to return.

Atlantis rising is right around the corner. If you find differences, kindly let me know.
[[This is just during the Rise]]
Monsters 2-4-3
Loot 2-6-9
Recruits 2-15-9
Dragon Bones 2-9-8
Crafting 2-1-9
Ascension 2-7-9
Atlantis Coins 2-9-4 & 2-9-7
These are all on normal, not hard.
Recruits is a big one for me during the rise.

I have been attacking Atlantis in the special season 2 easy 15 . 10 with my loot tickets at reduced cost of 4. The rewards are amazing. With just over 200 tickets. I have increased from level 28 to 29 in 3 days. I have over 300 practice sward’s and way over 350 back packs with the recruiters I get over 150 per loot run and ex is also insane. So it’s S2;15;10 for me
2/1.9N has treated me quite well this AR… I’ve had 2 TCs running TC2 non stop since the beginning, collecting them along the way… have 75 TC2s to collect at the moment, 275 currently in queue, and 50 more back packs ready to use.
360 swords to use to build food back up after my TC 2s are done with.
3 and 4 star crafting mats have been insane too… SO many…
I used up a ton of WE and Loot Tickets, but I wanted this AR to jump start me into being able to maybe ease up on the next one(s).
Troops I am looking up and all they talk about is not troops not helping
Welcome to the forum, I’m not sure what your question is?
Higher level troops do enable your heros to withstand blows and deliver more powerful attacks. Puzzled 
?
She wants to know where one goes to farm troops, yet the discusion above concerns different items. I hope I have interpreted that well.
Some commas and full stops would be nice, though.
Thanks @krzysiekx, that would make sense.
I have found S1 8:7 drops more troops. Check Barry’s data sheet (link below), as its much more accurate because its based on actual data.
9.1 gives the best troop xp per flag.
I have collected data for over a 1000 fights for 5.8 (the best according to Barry’s spreadsheet), 8.7 and 9.1.
Amount of troop XP (40 for * and 90 for ** troops) per WE flag is 3.17, 3.48 and 3.55 accordingly.

For nine runs, all but one yielded swords.
