I don't think the average player finishes all their lvl 8 walls in 5 days. But maybe I'm just a casual.

Slight stretch lol.

To a casual player I think walls are completely overrated. Once you hit full skulls I think that is more than enough for most people. Unless you plan on pushing and staying in Champs then there is very little point to grinding out walls for months on end if you are not a serious CoC player when it comes to putting in time.

I have 6 legos left and then I am done with walls. I never did them all at once, I did them over many months as I did other defenses as well so it was not mind numbing and boring. No point in going any higher. Heck, most people people in C1-M1 don't even have skull walls and do just fine because 90% of attacks are done with troops which walls don't effect anyways.

I currently have all of my defenses maxed at TH8 and am grinding skull walls. I personally find this part fun. Just about everything is maxed out and I have a ton of elixr. I'm the leader of my clan and donate a TON of troops for clan war cc's as well as offensive cc's during the war. I win almost all of my defenses in clan wars and find it extremely valuable to upgrade to skulls for the future of my competitive CoC gaming.

I've heard too many players have such a difficult time getting their walls upgraded at TH9 and regretting they didn't max them out at each TH level.

I have purples with about 20 skulls done in my core. Once my core is all skulls I'll think about doing Legos for the core. Skulls are a waste for external walls as they still get crushed by 2 x level 5 wb.

I can't believe people will sit around for days or weeks with elixir storages overflowing and builder's wasting time while sleeping so that they can work on walls. You'll have plenty of time to work on walls when you are maxed out TH10 with nothing else to do. Playing like this is really boring. I don't play the game to be bored. I play it to have fun. Of course that's just the way I see it. It doesn't mean that you can't enjoy maxing out your TH8 :)

146 skulls done, 79 to go. As long as 4/5 builders stay busy I will keep walling. If I run out of work for them I will move up to the next th. I doubt that will be the case though before I am have all skulls at th8.

The first and most obvious issue with walls is how expensive they are, there are 225 walls at TH8 and skulls cost 500K each. That's a total of 112.5M gold too finish them. Whilst ive been farming skulls I've seen a few of my fellow clan mates skip them and move onto TH9 and get a massive head start over me. This made me question again whether or not walls are worth it. Also with the prevalence of loonian and hogs at the highest levels of clash walls are becoming somewhat obsolete. personally i'm not sure that walls are worth the time and effort and I can't see myself getting 250 legos at TH9. I'm interested in what other people think though, are they worth it in your opinion and if so why?

[This is my first ever thread on the forums so go easy on me!]

Do they help? Tremendously. But are they your top priority? Definitely not.

How would they help? Because matchmaking is a social game. If you have maxed walls then giants/gowiwipes might not attack you. If you have maxed ADs then balloons and dragons might not attack you.

General rule of thumb is don't be suck.
Never be the playground bully victim we see too much in crystal with pink walls or lower.
Level 7 walls is acceptable.
Level 8 walls is the boundary between casual and farmer.
Level 9 walls is the boundary between farmer and hardcore.

Pick whichever level you want.

I think you should just move on up to Town Hall 9. Most people move up to Town Hall 9 with light crystal walls! It's a good thing that you have lots of patience. That will help you do well in the game.

Good luck!

With what I have heard about loot at TH9 I would stay at TH8 and max as much as you can!

i am also TH8 and will be doing this, simply because the loot is better and the farming is easier at lower TH :)
