I thought that the amount of gold available to loot was the same as the amount of elixer.
I had 3,600,000 in gold and 1,500,000 in elixer. When I got raided the available loot to the raider was 290,000 in gold and 210,000 in elixer. All the mines and pumps were pretty empty as I logged off only a couple minutes before.
Can someone explain this to me? Thanks
Kinda self explanatory lol. You had more gold, so more gold than elixer will be available.
No. Look at the percentages. If I have double the gold then the amount of gold to loot would be double assuming the percentage is the same. Which is what the wiki says.Quote:

What is available is a percentage of the loot in your storages (plus a larger percentage of what's in mines). The percentage available depends on the level of your Town Hall. There is also a cap to what can be stolen from storages, also dependent on your TH level.Quote:

I was aware of that description, but thank you. It still does not answer my question. The percentage of elixer was almost double the percentage of gold available to the raider. It is supposed to be the same.Quote:

There's a cap on how much loot you can lose. The percentages are only the same up until that cap. The amount of gold in your storages was over the cap, so the percentage amount of gold you lost was lower. Next time, just read the thread the mod gives you.
Edit: The mod beat me to it, albeit in a more patient fashion.
Almost double? 280k is only 33% more than 210k
hes talking about what he had in his storages. 3.6M and 1.5M. in fact, its more than doubleQuote:

Probably just the loot cap. And it might have been one town hall above or something, so there was a bit of a penalty.
I'm guessing you're a TH8 (with 300k loot cap) and a TH9 looted you (290k gold - 90% of loot cap).
As a TH8, the loot percentage is at 14%. So you reach your loot cap when you have around 2.1M in your storages. Since your gold exceeded said amount, you hit the loot cap, and your available loot remained at 300k (290k factoring in loot penalty).
yeah thats clear he is th8 attacked by th9Quote:

then it depends on attackers th6 to th8 they can steal from you the full loot cap
th9 can steal 90% of it , th10 can steal 50% of it
