How did you use the 2 weeks of the 1 gem boost?

I wonder how did you use those 2 weeks?

I personally used the first week to make it to champs as a th9 (mainly for the gems but once I got into it I loved the challenge...). http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...amps-last-year

The one gem boost was so helpful for that mission because I was relying on gowipe at high trophies so the time between raids went from about 1.5-2 hours to 30 min or so and with the long search for bases I can take on I nearly didn't wait. The only problem for me was the spells which needed to be created only after the last raid was over.

The second week was used for farming only dark to upgrade my heros and excess gold and elixir used on walls (just to keep low resources so I would mostly be sniped most of the time). I actually gained a lot of dark going up to champs so started upgrade my queen the moment I got there and started farming a lot of dark on my way back down for crystal (only looking for dark storage and drills and not caring about the trophies) and started upgrading the king not long after... When the second week was about to end and both my heros finished I immediately upgraded them again (AQ from 13 to 15, BK from 12 to 14) including doing my lava hounds to lvl 2 (started during push to champs) and minions to lvl 5 and still had excess (I had nearly 190k de before second upgrade). It looks like I will be able to push them one more lvl straight away.

So, what did you try to achieve in those 2 weeks?

I am a high level th10 and before the boost i was just chilling in masters 3/crystal 1. A couple days into the boost i thought it would be a good idea for me to boost my barracks and hardcore farm for a while. But i had bad luck and couldnt find any loot, so i dropped down to crystal 3/gold 1 and my loot luck immediately came back. Finding 200k abandoned bases in no time! I was able to farm max wizard towers and air defences in 3 days!

I boosted everything!

I couldnt do much raiding over chrismas itself but i made up for it after wards. I arrived at TH 10 and was able to start my two infernos x bow... Lab upgrade... Wizard upgrade... Spell factory & tesla upgrade. Some were started just after the end of the boost but the loot was mainly gained before the boost end.

Didnt use it we'll.:( Didnt find out about the gold and de boost till four days left, and didn't have enough time to use barrack boost. So didn't do anything resourceful with it really.

I went on holiday for new year :(

Finished my lego walls :D

Pushed to champ:)

Didn't use it at all

I used it in farming. I did not change my activity level though.
I still played 2-4 hours/day during the boost event.

Was nice timing for me, had 2 weeks off work so boosted a lot. Probably played an average of 4 hrs a day during it. Which is more then usual.

Farmed the whole time, finished all my Wizard Towers, done plenty of walls; had DE coming in so fast I had to gem 2 days off my Queen and start Lava Hounds in the lab just to relieve it.

Was awesome, but I'm glad it's only temporary; no way I could maintain playing that much in uninterrupted sessions. I would be divorced. LOL
