Gold vs. Elixer

Is it just me... or does gold have more use in the game than elixir? It always seems I have elixir in my stores, but gold gets spent constantly.

Do you consistently have large amounts of elixir in storage also?

EDIT: I'm TH7

U cannot get the gold without elexir :) i am atown hall nine and elixer gets me my gold

Yep, you need that gold to upgrade walls, buildings, new town hall, etc.

I'm late into Town Hall 8 and I've upgraded every spell and troop so My elixir storages are full.. I leave one near my town hall so someone can attack my elixir storage as well as my town hall for the shield.

Elixir is VERY important to trophy hunters. Once you get high trophies, good luck trying to find any elixir. I think they mostly gem it to be able to train armies each time, becase of their high elixir costs for pekkas and wizards.

Its important when you first upgrade th at any level for lab and troop upgrades. More important for th 9 with the lvl 6 troops - high elixir costs. i think 7m elixir for lvl 6 archers :( as well as DE drills and storage and 2 250 000 for each army camp. Just use your time at th7 to upgrade everything to max with elixir including as many troops as possible, youll need all the elixir you can get a th9 :)

Thanks for the input. I wasn't thinking about dark elixer drills and storages. At TH7, I have maxxed army camps, and my lab is running around the clock. I just seem to always have about 500k - 1mil that I'm looking diligently to lose. But my gold storages... I never have a problem finding a use for them.

Elixir is extremely easy to find whilst trophy hunting as everyone with a brain plans ahead and maxes their storages before heading up to 2000.

500k-1mil is nothing, wait until you're at TH8 and have a spare 4.5mil or so lying around.:)

Yes, most max out elixir before going on a trophy run but any extended run over 3+ days and you will start running dry since the returns are usually negative the higher you go. The days of maxing out elixir was fun and surely missed. At TH9 all the level 6 troops and DE drills pretty much run you dry pretty quick whenever you max out. a Level 6 DE drill at 8 million sure makes dragon barracks seem like a great deal. Just enjoy it while you can.
