Dark Elixir Loot percentage

So, from my calculations, you lose 5% of your dark elixir if looted from your storage.

I'm not sure of the % in the drills but I think its 50%

My question is what is the cap (or is there even a cap)?

So for example, with gold and normal elixir, loot from storage is now capped at 200k even if you have 8mil in storage - 2.5%. Of course, this % increases up to something like 25% if you only have around 800k (ie the loot available is still 200k)....

Is the same true for dark elixir and if so, what is the cap? Thanks

Just read this on the Wiki

"A maximum of 5% up to 2000 of the dark elixir in storage can be stolen by attackers"

2,000 seems high. You must completely smash more than one gold vault to get the maximum 200k gold (often 3 or 4) but to get the maximum dark elixir, you need only smash one storage which is also weaker in comparison to gold storage. This can't be right??

3 lightening spells takes it all - or certainly most of it!

My clan mate has stolen 2206 Dark Elixir once, so I don't think the 2000 is max. I will look at the wiki. Aslo the 200k limit on gold and elixir is not right as there has been people who have stolen much more.

4400 max DE loot (5% of storage capped at 2000, 75% of drill that can hold max of 1600 = 1200 each).

Gold & Elixir is capped at 198k from storages (25%), 1k in the TH, and 50% of mines/pumps. =6*75k = 450k.

649k is the max.

This of course assumes you are not penalised by the TH difference.

Yes, Icekool is correct. I am only talking about the DE storage...if you account for the pumps, you can loot more.

My issue is that it is harder to steal ALL of someone's gold / elixir from those storages - you basically need to 3 star them because they can spread risk around their entire base. However, it is relatively easy to steal all of their DE. I'm not complaining, I play this game as an attacker as well as a defender so am aware that if its harder to loot, I will by definition have a harder time getting it myself when I raid. But the fact remains, it does not seem appropriate that the % looted from DE storage is much higher than when you loot a single FULL gold storage, especially if you think about how hard it is to get DE. ALL fights give gold / elixir, but this is not true for DE...

Anyway....

so based on a level 11 gold storage housing 2Mil and having 2 storages...and you only being able to take 99k from 1.. is 4.95%.
it become worse if you have more than 2 gold storages. 3 would have 66k in and equates to 3.3%. 4 is 49.5k or 2.5%

However if you had only 1 storage (which I don't think you could have only 1 at lvl 11...as it require TH7, and TH7, costs more than 1 Mil that a level 10 would hold), so you'd have to have sold one before...

then it's 198k and 9.9% of the 2Mil held within.

5% seems ok to me.

also, DE is capped at 2000, so when you have full storage of 200k...only 2000 can be stolen...or 1%

I got a god 3k elixer in 2 days :p from raiding only.

icecool's statement corroborate my finding.
Thanks for your posing.
I usually got 250K(gold)+250K(elixir) + 200(DE) every battle on average.
Weekends I got 3M+3M+2000, weekdays I got 1M+1M+600.

Maximal amount I got in the battle was 500K(gold)+500K(E)+1500(DE).
Thus I was confused by the wiki information about being capped in loot.

You clarified my concern.
Thanks!

Dude this thread is over a year old. The loot system has changed.
