Dark Elixir Help

So, I am a TH7 player who is actually maxing all the walls. But recently I decided to get the barbarian king, but I don't wanna spend money on it.
Dark Elixir for me is a problem: I don't have a Dark Elixir drill and I'm a farmer, I actually stay at 1.200 trophies range to get quickly lots of resources. But I still can't find Dark Elixir, if I'm lucky I get like 50 of it, but I rarely see someone with it.
A friend of mine, who is also TH7 gets lots of Dark Elixir from revenges or whatever, so in 5 days got 7.000 Dark Elixir!
If I click my revenges I find those ones with walls level 8 or 9, with level 3 x bows and level 5 or 6 mortars. I have just level 4 troops, and I'm pretty sure that I can't go trough these defences, so I'm asking you guys, at what range of trophies I can get a lot pf Dark Elixir? Thanks

Lightning spell on their storage. As a revenge.

Your friend is probably using lightning to revenge TH9s.

Here's a great guide for DE Looting.

Raise your trophies. DE increases with trophies. At 1600+ youll find 500-1000 from attacks. Youll get att by higher lvl players. just revenge them with lightning spell on DE storage.

just make lightning spells. i suggest you upgrade these to the max. when you have a full spell factory, go on revenge and find the best DE bases to loot. you do this by casting all lightning spells on the enemies DE storage. if you cant find any good DE storages to loot in your revenge list, go over 1600 trophies and then youll find some juicy bases. youll lose trophies for every base so you might want to win trophies as much as you lose them or else youll fall under 1600 trophies and you wont get any more DE. good luck to you.

There are quite a few good threads on it - do a search and should be easy to find. But in short: target TH9 due to loot penalty, use lightning on full tanks, and raid exposed tanks as you come across them. 1400-1600 trophy range is good for DE, but fill your storage at lower range first since it'll be hard to raid gold/elixir as well as DE at that range. Also, BK should be lower priority than your standard defense/offense upgrades.
