New TH9 journal. Need help maxing ASAP!

Hey everyone,
My TH9 has stood shakily since the start of the 12th of July. It's been a whole day and I feel completely lost in regards to what to do next... This thread has been created in an attempt to be criticized, advised and monitor my progress.

I consider myself to have done well on my first day as I've been busy with work. Just to be safe I maxed my Town Hall 8 except for 55 purple walls. Now that I finally have more time to Clash, I aim to buy that final Tesla, reorganise my base layout, then grind upgrades hard!

As of this moment 01:53H 13/07/14 this is how my base looks:

As of this moment I have paid for:
Xbow's 1 & 2
Dark Elixer Drill
Laboratory Upgrade
Archer Queen
Wizard Tower
Archer Tower Level 4
Air Defence
25 Level 6 (Pink) Walls
Traps
Gold & Elixir Storage

Any tips on layout, what to do when and what to be wary of in the coming future will certainly be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
M.

So glad you started this thread. I have a maxed out TH8 and just clicked the upgrade button today. Please let me know your progress.

My plan is to step into TH9 with fully storages and go:

1. Archer Queen
2. Upgrade Lab
3. Upgrade all new walls to pink
4. One x-bow
5. Dark Elixir Drill

and of course chip away at getting the storages, archer tower, air defense, wizard tower, tesla, and extra traps.

Max out your new elixir and gold storages, keep your army camps upgrading constantly and try to do the spell factory when you will not be playing clash for a few days.

Prioritise on offense; you need your money making tools sharp to build defense.

Do you guys advise camps before x-bows?

@VoodooRage
I'm glad to have been of some assistance bro! Fortunately for myself I went into TH9 with a shield and pretty much max storages, so AQ, Drill, Xbow1 and Lab was my initial priority, followed by smaller upgrades, walls in between etc... I just want to build everything so that I can restructure my base layout. Personally, I went for both Xbows rather than camps as I like to have some intimidation factor, however once they finish, I'll allow a camp or two to develop.

@thenextman
I play every day, so spell factory won't be a priority from my perspective. xD
Thank you for the tip though, may use it for when I work alongside others.

@Kruzkal
I agree, focus on my offence to be able to afford defences.
However, I will get the basics done now for my defence as I can afford it, then camps etc...

@Anyone
Structure tips for a premature TH9 with no Xbow for a week?

Yes. I am that sad. :D

Paid for the Tesla.
Currently builders working on Tesla, 2 Xbow's, Lab and in between chipping at small upgrades.

Need a new base layout soon...

Max everything that you didn't touch for a little bit.

Now all 5 builders are occupied on longer term upgrades for a few days... I already did some, but now I have a camp upgrading - as was suggested before.
