Question about boosting collectors ?

With the recent changes in costs for boosting resource collectors, has anyone calculated the economic benefit of choosing the boost option over buying resources directly from the CoC shop? I know forum members in the past have produced detailed figures to expose boosting as costly compared to bulk buying,but do the new prices change that scenario? I would like to see some fresh calculations.
At a rough glance,the new prices seem fairly attractive,but I would appreciate some confirmation.Thanx in advance!!

what????:confused:

So confused :confused:

Why the confusion? Tell me how I can make it clearer?

Idk about the comparison but if you want to gem and get resources, better gem your barracks and raid as much as you can will be your best option

Yeah boosting collectors gives u more than buying the resources directly but boosting a barrack and raiding more would give u more loot

Well for the 1 gem for 7 days, it is much worth it to do that instead of buying the gold/elixir. On average with level 11 collectors you would make 3,000,000+ with the collectors or mines boosted. So 6-14 gems for over 3 million gold and elixir sounds pretty worth it instead of almost 3000 gems for 8,000,000 of only one resource. Only catch is the time of seven days for the boost. Unfortunately its over :(

We are talking about the 7 gem boost that they reduced it to.

The current cost for boosting gold mines and elixir wells is 11 gems each.The new cost for boosting dark elixir wells is 34 gems each. How do these prices stack up against the cost of bulk buying? I do boost barracks to loot for resources,but sometimes I need a shortcut,so boosting mines and wells or gemming bulk from the shop is not a problem for me. My problem lies in determining which is the cheaper option. With the latest decrease in price,it seems to me that boosting is marginally better now than it was when it cost 20 gems for mines and wells,and 45 for dark elixir. Also keep in mind that the boost period for all these is 24hrs. Thanx again!!

Just to avoid any confusion,all my mines and wells are level 11 and DE drills are level 6.

I'm fairly sure boosting is better-however I do not have exact numbers. Personally though, I would boost barracks, you can over 2 mil an hour on a good night.

You're right Baconman,but when I am upgrading an X-Bow or similar, which may take up to 14 days to mature, I usually gem all three shields, and if done properly, I can cover 14 attack free days!! Then boosting really pays off as I just sit back and watch all the resources roll in. This allows me to upgrade walls, heroes etc; a sort of bonus you might say. I draw the line at instantly gemming buildings,but I don't mind taking my time with shields, which saves the worry of being looted,and allows me free time to have a life . Appreciate the input from all who have contributed to this post so far :rolleyes::rolleyes:
