Hello Everyone,
I am a th8 hungry for dark elixir. I am currently upgrading hog riders to level 2 and I have a level 6 barb king. The trophy range where I farm de is not very good as I only get up to 500 each raid. I am wondering if I should push higher to somewhere else or stay where I am. I would like to max out my hogs and get a lvl 10 barb king.
where are u currently?
de is amazing higher up. (master 2 is a great range for de farming)
but you will be hammered on def
I am currently at trophies between 1400 and 1500Quote:

I have tried to go up that high but every time I am just demolished by other people and I lose a bunch of dark elixir. Do you gain more than you lose?Quote:

If that is hard go to 1600-1700 the dark elixir is pretty good. Today I got a 1,000 de raid.Quote:

But do spend the gold and time to hit Next until you find more like 1000 DE per raid, it's not that hard but requires patience.
Personally I've mostly farmed DE for my TH8 and TH9 (level 5 troops) using just barbs and archers, occasionally a few minions, with heal and rage sometimes, my heroes sometimes, from as low as 1600 to as high as around 2200 - heavy armies are not required, just patience in finding a good raid. If you are higher trophy counts, just keep your TH out where it can be sniped, and your loot will be safe more often than not, especially if you are near 2000.
Been paying for AQ upgrades and 50 minions per raid in gold 1.
I feel the best spots for dark elixer is either the storage, or the drills. The clan castle also sometimes has a little, but it's usually not worth it for the low amount of dark elixer you get. :rolleyes:
