The Stories of the Barbarian Kings

Do any of you guys remember the day you got your barbarian kings? Wasn't it a magical day? If you remember, then post your story here! Be sure to include stuff like how you did it, your strategy, your farming range, stuff like that. Its fun to read other peoples stories and it's an way for th7's to figure out how THEY will do it!

Here my story:

It was a beautiful summer day in 2014. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and I was clashing. My clan mate (who started at the same time as me and was a bit ahead of me) had his bk for about two weeks and he just posted another of his replays to gloat in my face. Well. I was pretty sick of it. I had about 6,000 dark elixir and i never actually tried de hunting yet. I was only in silver 2. That next day when I got out of bed, I ate breakfast and went on my phone. I sped up my spell factory and got busy on the raiding. That day was the first time I've gotten kicked off the game because I was playing for six hours straight (in case you didn't know , supercell does that) i probably spent about 50 gems on the spell factory, and A LOT of elixir on lightning spells. And let me tell you. I isn't easy getting 4k de in one day when your in silver 2. I was at about 9,200. I was ready to give out. Then, I saw one of my revenge attacks. There was someone with over 3,000 AVAILABLE de!!! I zapped it, and then bought my king. It was worth it.

So thats my story, whats yours?

My story likes you but i never really de hunting but zaps de sometimes
that tine when get bk as th7 was like a moment to remember

now have bk lv 8 aq lv 7
i feel like 10k de not too much i can get that amount on daily normal raid
sometimes get 2k++ on a raid use barch attacking unprotected drill
i i focus on 40k de to up aq n bk

One of the best moments of my life

1) gemming my barb king
2) marrying my hs sweetheart
3) my three kids

yup in that order

it wasn't the answer u were looking for but I can tell u how I got my bk10 at th8:

on a road trip in the Philippines. 3G signal strong in the provinces. Boosted barracks spell factory and bk9. I'm at 27k. Need to farm 13k in two hrs. I'm in silver I around 1200 trophies. Searching for anything over 500 de using barchgob and adding rage if 1500 de or more. Losing trophies, elixir but gold is ok. 39k signal switches to edge. I get cut off and about to lose it because I'm going to get attacked. After ten mins I get back online..sniped! Resources safe. Gemmed the last 1000 de, upgraded to 10 and went to sleep.

At around 8000 DE, I started to get nervous since I read somewhere in the forum, that you get zapped and attacked when reaching 8500 threshold. I took that morning off from work, I gemmed my barracks, and got my BK after 1.5 hour.

Nowadays, I get nervous only when reaching 30K of DE when I am upgrading my BK to level 10 :)))

I remember when i was a th7, i used mass level 1 drags to raid for about 400 de. It took me a week to get my king.

I was Th7 then in Crystal and zapped DE for the 10k:D

I just zapped, zapped, zapped, zapped etc. On the last day I was at around 9800 de logged off and got raided... I was so angry so I zapped and than I was happy :)

I never was actually trying to get it, but I was pretty close, so I just zapped for a bit and got my king. I got it in a couple days, so it didn't feel as big of an accomplishment, but still pretty cool!

I only zapped for my L1 King, BK2+, AQ1+, and DE troops, I all farmed w/o lightning. (I actually did a bit more at TH7 and a couple times at TH8, none at TH9 [so far][don't plan to])

600 gems... boom. The king was born

Saved the 450 gems from getting 1250 trophies farmed about 1800 de and got him best gems I ever spent
