Dark Elixir for non-Gemmers
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
TH7 still so it will be a while
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.
This is how you steal dark elixir.
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. ;)

...no this is how you DE loot!! :)~
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
