how do u get enough elixir (2,225,000) for lvl 5 archers. i never seem to gain any elixir.
1. Stay online and keep raiding
2. Gems
I upgraded to Level 5 Barbs first, and boy did it make the raids easier! I had the 2.25 Mil elix for the archers very quickly after that.
Thx chadamus I will try that.
I have 3.25 Mil ready from TH7.
1 mil for the lab..2.25Mil for the archers.
now i just have 4 days to wait (til TH8 is ready)...and then another 4 whilst the lab is done.
whatever i lose in attacks is made up from pumps and i can raid to increase further.
Look for it.
I used to pick it up almost without trying, but just search until you find a village with 200K and take it.
Should I upgrade my pumps they r all lvl 8
yes

Everyone in the game should max their pumps and mines. This helps everyone as it creates more resources in the game.
You will benefit because with 6 level 11 pumps, you gain 430,00 elixir in a 24 hour period. That is more elixir than you are provably losing from getting raided in that same 24 hour period.
The pump upgrades also help other players because they will find more loot while attacking as well.
Everyday, people complain in these forums about not finding enough loot while raiding. If that person does not have every pump and mine maxed to 11, then they themselves are partially to blame for the shortage of loot.
What are you using as troops to raid? Perhaps you have too many elixir heavy attack troops which is causing you to have a poor net elixir gain from your raids. When elixir hunting you want to use the cheapest troops that can get you to resources.
For me it's all about efficiency - the wb are the expensive troops i use, the barbs and gobs less so - there's a great exlixir calc here http://clancalc.com/ that can help you figure out what works for you - and if you are saving only raid bases that make you a profit.
What army is most efficient for 190 spaces to get resources. I've been using 12 giants 12 wbs and the rest barbs / archers. I think it costs around 72k.
Maybe something like 10 wbs 90 barb 60 arch 30 gobs? Used elixcalc and thats around 40k.
You could try using less giants and wbs and put in some goblins instead of archers and barbs. Another way to save is to look for bases where you don't have to deploy everything, or at least less, of your more expensive troops.
How about 100 barbs 60 arch 20 gobs and 10 wbs?
Upgrade pumps and learn to use cheap armies. That's the key to gain elixir.
hit and run..
i usually deploy 40gobs, 10arch to get about 50-80k from unprotected mines/collectors when trying to save up for an UG.
by the time you're done searching and looting, more troops would have been built and you're ready to go again..
u lose trophies, but who cares about trophies when farming?
thx for all the advice I have cut the price of my army in half. I am making way more elixir. I haven't played very much the last day but still made about 500k
