How's everyone doing collecting dark elixir? For those of you who haven't purchased DE or the buildings through gems, have you hit 10,000 yet?
Me: Built 2 level 1 DE drills. Built 1 level 1 DE storage. Didn't gem them. Haven't tried to upgrade them.
Total DE so far : 5,016
I got 1k. Build 1 drill cause i only got th lvl 8
My drill has been upgrading ever since I bought it, currently upgrading to level 3. I have ahout 1200 DE, all from raiding others. Most of that has been in the last 24 hours.
I've looted over 1,000, but I'm not sure how much more since I don't have a storage unit.
I got TH7 about a week before the update so it's going to be a while before I get TH8 for the drill (if I even bother).
I did put up a dark elixir store though and have managed to collect a few hundred. I'm really not searching for it, so I just get the ocassional 100 or so loot as I go about my normal attacking.
I'm intending to get the 10k built up for the King before I upgrade to TH8 though since a 9k store on a TH8 base with TH7 defenses will probably attract a lot of attention from the TH9s in my trophy range. That's still several weeks away though as I've let my pump and mine upgrades fall behind and this is a good time to catch up on that while all the new updates settle in.
I've got about 1,300 right now, mostly from my pump (I'm TH8). I'm not a "gemmer" -- I've spent $20 total on this game, buying extra builders and being impatient a couple times. I have to say, this hero thing is testing my patience big-time (SuperCell's $ plan may be working lol): I'm seriously thinking of spending $5 to get the extra 500 gems I need to get "The King"... but resisting the urge for now.
As of this morning I had 3300. I'm at TH8 so had just the one drill and storage. Then I realized I had $8 and some change left on an iTunes card so I bought 500 gems and got the Barb King. I've collected and looted another 500 today towards the first Barb King upgrade.
I have about 1200 currently. I am a TH 8 with a lvl 2 drill now. I have had some stolen, though, because I dont have enough to really worry about really protecting it very much.

I don't usually go for it either. I'm still focusing on getting the rest of my defenses done. The DE toys can wait once I feel like I can actually defend my base. Sometimes if i see a drill/storage just sitting there, i'll drop a few gobs, take the trophy hit and move on. I think the most I've ever raided at a time was 130 or so.
Any idea of how much people see to raid with 5000 in my storage?
5% of store and 75% of drills (before any TH penalty)
I did revenge him and took back 89 DE along with 90k coins and 90k elixir, but he stole 183 so he gained 90 DE and a shield. It only cost him 3 spells and 90k coins and elixir. ;)

I have 1729 dark elixir. I built a level 1 storage and a level 1drill the day the patch came out. Nobody has successfully raided my elixir yet and I have not attacked anyone who had any elixir to steal so you can see it's a slow process for most level 8TH players like myself.
I am almost up to 2 million elixir and was considering upgrading my drill to level 2. However, I don't have my level 5 giants yet, so I'm probably going to buy that upgrade first (2,250,000 elixir). Giants with 100 more hp each seem like a better value than 10 extra DE per hour.
I spent $25 on gems back in September so I'm technically a "gemmer" buy I still have 1137 gems left. I look forward to having my BK in a few more weeks of drilling. Slow and steady is my speed in this game :)
Im TH7 and ive stolen 29 DE and lot 2 of it so im at 27... im at 1400 trophies and its kind of a pain getting it... no one has it
I've spent the gems to get my barb king, but haven't bought any since.
I'm only TH7, but have raided 117 today, hopefully I will slowly encounter more as the weeks go by :P
as more and more drills are built in the community, i'm sure there'll be alot more to loot. 5000+ is a very tempting loot, i'm sure i'll go for it. For that matter, even 100DE is tempting and i'll channel all troops to get at it to get the BK UG..
out of curiosity, anyone out there got their BK without gemming? i'd think it would gone (looted) before it hits 10k..
I've got about 5500. Two drills and I've been stealing.
The lightning spell isnt bad. I'm a little wary attacking too many big hitters because they can lie and wait until I get close to 10,000 and hit me for a big chunk of it.
Ok so I gemmed the DE purchase of the BK, personally looted all the necessary elixir to get the Drill to lvl3 and the Storage to lvl2. Lastly, I gemmed the 2.5 days for lvl3 on the Drill. Thats it. Wasnt much and got me to where I needed to be in 2+ days.
DE is begining to appear in half or so of the villages I see as of the last 24-48+ hours. Im lvl63 and have 1300 cups as Im still looting. Only tesla lvl6 and air lvl6 to go, beginning all in few days. Otherwise Im th8 maxed, including all research completed (elixir maxed just after the below loot).
STATS: my Drill puts out 1,080 DE per day. I loot around 500 DE per day = 1,580 DE in total per day. I have looted up to 1,000++ easily but my focus is gold for my final updates. DE is out there and its beginning to pile up at an distant OK rate. With drilling and looting alone, I leveled by BK to lvl2 for 12,500 DE and am now saving for lvl3 (15,000) and as of this writing have 5,884 DE in the jar. With 2 Drills at lvl3+ I am sure the rates are manageable.
Here is my best DE loot yet....enjoy!! :)~ Thanks princessmoont for gemming and sharing the wealth :)~:p

Actually the tough part is not saving up those DEs, it's keeping them safe before u reach the target. Ppl will be looting left n right.
Agree. Especially with lightning spells.Quote:

Or just keep strong opponent in the revenge list, and hit them with spell when you nearly reach your 10,00 DE.Quote:

For those questions about whether it is possible to save up for the Barbarian king at TH8
1 x level 1 Drill is 240 DE in 12 hours (5% of 4 800)
1 x level 2 Drill is 360 DE in 12 hours (5% of 7 200)
1 x level 3 Drill is 540 DE in 12 hours (5% of 10 800)**
In theory it is possible to get to there by just waiting it out at, in practice I would suggest stealing it from others...
In Terms of limits to how much can get stolen, it would logically sit somewhere between 2000-2400 for storage...
it's only a matter of time but saving up for the barbarian (assuming you are attacking for it) will not be particularly hard once a significant number of players are producing DE.
With 1,185 DE and 90 having been taken, my level 1 drill has been pumping along since the update. I have been upgrading my other DE drill and DE storage, they will be level 3 later today. I just put up a two day shield as I wanted to keep my DE safe, funny that amount won't be all that much later on. Wanting my BK, and would like to get him with out going to gems.
I said 11,200 in another thread...but I now think I'm wrong, and I only counted 1 drill, and dunno if there's 1k in the TH.Quote:

Hence why I reached 11,200...but then it's 1200 in the other drill, which becomes 12,400, and if you can steal the 1k from the TH, then it's 13,400....but that's only if you had 204,200 of it 'lying around'. Which is 6.56%.
There is no DE in the TH.Quote:

And you percentages are waaaaay off. lol
It's usually 25% of storage up to a maximum.
I was asking if anyone knew what the "maximum" was. Thanks for trying to help though.
It's not 25% up to a maximum. It's 5%. He is right. Thanks for trying to help though.Quote:
