Hey guys, I'm an almost maxed TH 8 and I just finished my purple walls. I was curious how long it took other people to farm their skulls? I anticipate being at it for a while now.

Hey guys, I'm an almost maxed TH 8 and I just finished my purple walls. I was curious how long it took other people to farm their skulls? I anticipate being at it for a while now.
I consider myself a Mid level TH9 and I'm only half way at best done with my skulls. It takes a while and I've only been half seriously working on them for about 3-4 months now.Quote:

Lol just calculate how much gold do you farm a day.
If you farm 2 mill(not including nexting cost) a day it will take around 56 days...
EDIT: When the elixir for walls was on it took me a lot less than a month
It took me about 15 months to finish skulls.
I did a lot of other stuff in that time though (and had some time off).
Dang that's a long time. I've got a few more lab upgrades before I want to go to TH 9 though, so I guess I'll just see where I am then. Getting skulls is more of an OCD thing for me than a logical choice.
IMO after last pricing change in walls, perfect time to move to TH9 is when you have all your defenses maxed and no (pink) elixir upgrades left. No point to stay for walls, dark troops or king higher than lvl5.
While TH upgrades, I would recommend to fill all the storages so that you could get your AQ, new Lab and X-Bows immediately.
I don't play much, 1-2 hrs a day maybe, so it took me 3-4 months. I did discover once you get all to skulls or higher, you get more air dominate raids! Who knew! Hahaha
one month with an average of 4 mil a day (done at TH8)
I'll get all my new TH walls to dark purple then I'll do as many skulls as I can before I am done DE upgrades.
Did mine as a TH9 during the last Christmas boost (2013), yes I know I should have done them at TH8. Took 10 days playing 3 hours a night. At TH8 you should be able to do them much quicker than that.
If you raid 4m gold a day that's 8 walls. 200/8= 25 days.
Doesnt a TH8 actually have 225 walls?Quote:

I am upgrading to TH9 now. I farmed for gold and dark elixir. Troops in lab took the time to get to Barb King 10, Minion 4 and finally hog 4. Once I kicked off hog lv 4, I upgraded to TH0. (I did not upgrade Valk or Golem to lvl 2, will do at TH9).
I ended up getting 125 skulls though, probably took around 2 months, but was able to use elxir on some and also using the winter gold mine boost and raiding during boost.
It took me 3 months (when I was Th8) to get full skulls... I was slacking off a lot that period.
I can't answer the question with as much precision as I'd like, but my sub hit TH7 on August 6 and finished all skull walls the day before yesterday. I don't know how long it took me to get through everything associated with TH7, but it feels safe to assume that 2/3 of the total time from new 7 to max 8 is the portion when you're 8.
Three, three and a half months? That was using one builder at a time for wall while upgrading everthing else, also, which matters a lot. And I did it while you could use elixir on skulls, which also matters. And that's an account I've really enjoyed using and play with a lot (max TH8 from scratch using gems only to get 5 builders and boost barracks, 1400 multiplayer wins and 200 million GG between June 18 and now).
Its all anecdotal and your mileage will vary. But it's been a nice goal and I'm some teslas away from heading off to TH9 and... errrrgh... legos. But if you are a casual player, anything less than about 6 months seems reasonable to me.
When i started th9, i farmed 125m within 5 weeks, but that was hardcore farming... Itll take you much longer without elixir... Good luck!
Not long as a TH8, about a month, but if you go to TH9 you can forget it for awhile as it will take back burner to xbows and etc... Walls make a huge difference but people are impatient, then advise others to be impatient. if you're just a farmer and you stay online when you play then you can get away with some rushing. But if youre a valued clan member who loves war you need walls and troops. Seperate yourself from the casual players, that's my advise.
before they removed elixir upgrading for lvl 8 walls you could probably do them in a week, raiding about 30-40 times a day, probably less.
125mill in 5 weeks isnt really hardcore farming, you can easily get 8-10mill each on any dayQuote:

Since you have so many other upgrades to complete while you are a TH9, IMHO, it is a better idea to max your walls as a TH8, then move on.
super awesome thread, as im in the same situation!
Currently at 80lvl8 with 145 walls to go!
12 Days into TH 8.....125 skulls down and 100 to go.
I'm sinking almost all gold into completing Skulls though and maxing Elixir upgrades because of the bottleneck.
It all depends on how much you farm.
I know but I got it without boosting barracks.Quote:

At TH8 you can easily farm 6 mil in 2 hrs, so 6 walls a day. 225÷6=35ish days.
It took me about 5 weeks from starting TH8 with purple walls to maxing skulls.
Well today I was pretty busy and I got 3 done, maybe 4 or 5 if I grind out a couple before hitting the hay. So it looks like a maximum of 2 months left for me. Hopefully sooner than that once I start having class time to play during instead of having to do work.
war loot helps tons
I was a rushed th10...farming + war loot keeps all of my builders busy 24/7.
About to start my last L8 wiz tower.
On war day, I cook army when I am busy doing things during the day. I cook my second attack when I sleep and do it in the morning...that way, warring does not really affect my farming time.
Came from maxed th7 october 4th 2014
and now have 30 lvl7 walls left to upgrade to lvl8
hope that helps with the timeline
of course now I can only use gold hah
i farmene 170 skull between june and agoust, and in The maintime I've been maxing mi th8.
It really depends on how fast/frequent/skillful you are at looting
I have maxed th 8 too. I have 120 skull walls done. It took me like maybe a month and one week. Its really easy to farm walls once your defence is maxed out! It doesnt take that longQuote:

Its a pain.. I thought it got boring and I used elixir walls.
I've been playing for 2 years, currently at TH10, level 137 and only just finished my skull walls after maxing my last defense building! Now the only thing left to spend my gold and elixir on are walls, so I'm wondering how long it'll take me to get them all to level 9. Probably still a really long time!! 125K of each resource is still a lot! Right now however my priority is getting my heroes to level 40!
I think unless you concentrate solidly on walls it takes forever!!
Probably 1-2 month(s):confused:
2 weeks of cheap boosts. That wouldve about done it...
You've just missed the best opportunity to farm walls with the one-gem boosts over Christmas.
Took me about two weeks to finish off 40 crystal walls and 50 skulls doing two 2-hour sessions per day (except 24th, 25th, 26th Dec)
1 week or less can't remember inb4 the elixir update
At least 3-4weeks of hard core farming for now since you need at least 100m gold for 255 walls from 7 to 8
Max those walls and you will have less concerns on walls while th9 cuz you will get 25 walls and then no more :D you can only have 250 walls total
I maxed my skull walls in about 2 weeks thanks to the current boost. If you didn't take advantage of it, I'm sorry.
Ive been TH8 for a week and a half and Ive done 50 skull walls. Im trying to pace to it out so I max my defenses around the same time but its kind of hard.
Took me 2 months working and such over summer. It can definitely be done quicker.
