I am at townhall level 8 and have recently bought my BK and upgraded him to level 2. I am wanting to get him up to level 5 to unlock his new special ability. I have tried zapping DE storages but the rewards are low and it slow going. Im curious to hear if you guys think that zapping for DE is efficient or worth it. If so, where is the best trophy level to zap at? Would it be worth it to upgrade by lightning spell to level 4?
If you answered no, what are your strategies for farming DE?
I tried it and it's not my thing. Even with a boost the spells are to slow to make and a high DE base to hard to find.
As a fairly new TH8, I have found plenty of DE at Gold 1/2. I use BAM or Barch and add DE as a resource priority. Exposed collectors and the odd storage offer a good supply along with the gold I need.
My BK has upgraded 5 levels in 2 weeks while my lab rolls elixer upgrades. The tricks at level 5 are totally worth the cost of the DE as an extra rage makes BAM rock!
--Do not sit on large stores of DE as you will be a prime target for higher TH's!
---Revenging a Th10 that face rolled you for no resources IS an excellent use of zapping!!
Ok thanks for advice. I'll farming up there :DQuote:

No zapp!!!!!!!!
I did not use this method but I only seriously farm DE at TH 9, when my level 6 troops can simply penetrate the target's defense at take DE and gold/ elixir altogether.
when you have full elixir storages and nothing to upgrade zap de! people cry "oh it's too slow" free de the waiting time is nothing!
i just save my de from drills and zapping de when i have no use of elixir(never use de troops)
so my heroes are at decent lvls!
I honestly hate zappers :(
Zapping is awesome. I don't get what you all have against it, they are raiding you, and that's what they get. They chose to raid you like you chose to raid others for DE. You may have gotten it with troops, and they get it with spells. Keep in mind both spells and troops cost elixir. Spells are more costly of the 2 based on average raiding strategies, so give us zappers a break. We are hurting ourselves more than we are hurting you all..:D
I tear apart the bases of people who zap me :)
I zap as revenge as a matter of principle, I don't zap on raids, it's too expensive and throws out the 'zap me back' gauntlet to those you raid.
@OP: just DE farm using troops, it isn't too badQuote:

Good to hear. Ill keep this all in mind. If I am zapping is it worth it to upgrade lightning spell to 4, simply for the purpose of zapping?
No! Go up to high ctystal and dlix farm up there
You can't been at Crystal 2 for a week at TH7 and DE is very protected. You'd have to push up ever higher for De to be put at sidelines, but that is not practical for TH7 & 8.Quote:

Boost spell factory, barch your way up there and farm drills( pretty rare), ZAP when storage has more than 2.3k.
Learn the storage levels, the lower the level the more DE you get since HP is low.
Learn the drills level, rule of thumb is GOLD= GOOD. You can get about 1.2k DE from a full Drill.
I'm almost done with DE upgrades at TH7 with this method, don't listen to the haters, they don't want you to know! :cool::cool::p:rolleyes:
