Hey guys I'm about to have a level 7 town hall and just wanted to know if it's possible and if so how hard would it be to accumulate 10k dark elixer without having the drills (Pure raiding)?

It's not that hard. Just requires you to raise your trophy count to around 1400 and either loot it or just lightning storages, although be ready for revenges.. It only takes a few days though.
It's certainly possible, but I imagine it would be somewhat difficult since you'll likely have to target lv8 and lv9 th bases to get substantial amounts.Quote:

A free troop that does not take up any room in your army is a huge benefit. Plus he only gets stronger and stronger over time. I'll have my BK lvl 5 in a few days without gemming at all. It's a wonderful addition to my army. Plus if used correctly I can use him about once per hour.Quote:

The hardest part is finding bases that you get get to the DE storages/drills cause you will be attacking mostly th9's with some 8's mixed in. And it involves a ton of searching to find the right bases.
Also have a lot of resources when you do it cause you will find bases with 20k gold and 20k elixir but ~500 DE. So it won't be profitable in terms in gold or exilir but that's not the point. And as stated before expect some healthly revenges, I got whooped a few times from bases that took DE from.
So are you mostly using lightning spells to loot it or just pour in goblins? Usually everyone has it pretty well protected and getting to it is pretty difficult in most cases.Quote:

If the DE was easy to get to with a few drags I'd attack and just steal DE, if not I'd lightning them. The key is to stay in the same cup range because if you only use lightning you'll drop cups too fast and below 1300 cups there aren't enough people with a lot of DE stored. So after I used all my drags and lightning I'd create my typical farming group and recollect some of the resources and cups I just lost by my 3 or 4 raids off of 10 drags and 3 lightning spells. I found it hard to use gobs to get to heavily protected DE stores from TH9's. I'd lose a good % of those raids and then it puts you back more cups and more gold/elixer so choose wisely!
My 2 cents!
Yup same thing I had maxed my walls at TH7 a while ago and have just been getting everything else maxed so I didn't need so much gold. My burger king just hit level 4 from my DE raiding. I'm hitting mostly TH8 and TH9, but it's been a lot of fun especially with weaker lvl 4 troops. More fun than skimming full collectors here and there :rolleyes:Quote:

I used a mostly giant healer army to plow into the center of the base and then use about 20-25 gobs to clean up the DE storage and what ever else they could get.
Definitely messed up a few attack along the way but it taught me to be a better attacker and how to get gobs to target what i wanted them to target. I was frustrating at first but fun after i got the hang of it.Quote:

I did my BK last, after having walls and basically everything else upgraded (I am now 4 days from completing upgrade to TH 8).
So, I figured I would while away my time waiting for my Th upgrade and go DE hunting. One approach that i found very useful was logging off frequently with my storages full (4 mil gold and 4 mil elix). I would then get attacked by mostly higher level players (my village defenses/walls are maxed and my layout is pretty effective).
By doing this, I filled up my revenge log with really good top players who were likely to have lots of DE. I then was able to plan my attack--giving me a much better chance of success and allowing me to wait until the available DE was worth it.
I often 200K of each resource, but why would I care--I am maxed TH 7 and this gave me more reason to attack (I was attacking and not gaining any resources because of maxed storages.
Doing this, it took me only a few days as many of my attacks yielded > 500 and sometimes > 1000 DE. And by getting attacked and using the revenge list, they could not steal the DE back.
Did you lightning them? and were they mostly th9s?Quote:
