Yes, it's absolutely amazing how fast they've been updating the site. SC should pay them for their efforts.

So I just read the wiki and it states the following:
- Dark Elixir Drill: 10% of uncollected dark elixir left in the dark elixir collector can be stolen by attackers
- Dark Elixir Storage: 75% of uncollected dark elixir left in the dark elixir storage can be stolen by attackers
Source: http://clashofclans.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Elixir_Drill & http://clashofclans.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Elixir_Storage;

However, here's what I just test. Ran into a guy with 28 DE available to loot. I immediately checked his base, I didn't raid him of course, and here's what he had available:
- Dark Elixir Drill: 38 - If we go with wiki, 4 of 38 should be available to loot
- Dark Elixir Storage: 20 - If we go with wiki, 15 of 20 should be available to loot
- Total should be 19. But it had 28 available to loot.
Can someone check my math? It's pretty late and I could just be tired...

Another thing that doesnt make much sense, to me at least, is why storages give such a high percentage relative to the drill. With gold amd regular elixir, collecters can often yield much more resources than actual storages, yet it seems to be reversed with dark elixir. Any theories on this?

I did the math on that and it comes out to be 30.5, so either 30 or 31, DE available, which is more than the observed amount. I also double checked the wiki page and it still says that 10% of collecters and 75% of storages should be available for raids. Really confused about this...

Yes, I agree that this is counter intuitive. If they can take less from the drill, wouldn't it benefit us not to collect as often??

Ah, I think this may have something to do with it. Dahimi:

These pages are majorly in flux right now. It's going to take a bit to get them in order

So is it true if i land a lightning spell on top of the dark elixir storage i will get 75%(or most of it) since the storage only has 400 hitpoints?

No clue. The tool tip says 400hp. I don't know if max loot is 25% or what.
