Do they make that much difference when trying to save for upgrades? Are they worth it?
welll over time it makes a lot of difference
this is for one week:
Level 11 collector: 3000x24x7x6 = 3024000 per week (with 6 collectors)
Level 10 collector: 2500x24x7 = 2520000 per week (with 6 collectors)
Level 11 pumps pump 504000 more per week all together, this is quite a lot....
if ppl attack ur base u still get same gold & water?
Upgraded collectors before anything, whenever i go online theres a stach of gold waiting to get collected, deffo worth it
They at least cover your battle searches, so it's a good long term investment.
Don't count on them to contribute to your building upgrades tho. At TH8 it's getting less significant in terms of saving up resources for upgrades.
They arent worth it until you maxed out your base
I've payed for level 9-10 on all my cannons with just gold from my maxed mines when i went inactive
The only reason noobs dont max their collectors is because they wanna be all like "hurr durr i haz lvl 1-2 collectors and a maxeed th 9 base, i iz guud at raiding hurrrr"
Its worth it if your a casual player
if your really active i woule sleep at 9 or 10 and just keep farming
I'd upgrade them during a TH upgrade (assuming you are maxed, mostly maxed base). Dont forget to leave a builder for dem walls though
It is really nice waking up to find 35 k in each collecter...its worth it
There is one major disadvantage about having high level collectors!
Since your collectors collect a lot faster, you will be a pretty high priority target. For example, if you are offline for 8 hours because you are sleeping.
8 hours x 6 collectors x 3.000 per hour = 144.000
They can steal 50% from your collectors so..
144.000 x 50% = 72.000 of each resource they can steal from just your collectors
I have had maxed mines for the last two months and I have never been hit like that. That is spending eight hours sleeping and ten hours working! Just leave your th outside and people are very happy to destroy just that and move on.
In the last three days I have lost exactly 18k in gold during 11 attacks. Ten of those attacks just hit the th and moved on. They almost always attack within the first hour of logging off. Just clear your collectors and break your shield.
Only guys who protect th are the ones with filled collectors.
Although you can counter this by being smart and putting the collectors outside of your walls, but inside of defenses range, as then the enemy will use most of their troops to get the resources in the collectors and not those which you really want to protect; the resources inside your storages.
They are a nice cheap upgrade, eventually in a sea of very pricey upgrades!! Don't ignore them, don't prioritize them over defense. Keep one upgrading as you can. If you are broke or low on attack time, they are a quick easy way to at least have something upgrading! Once they are maxed out, you'll generally have enough over night to replace traps in the morning. :)
if ur gold mine attack by another ppl u also get same gold?
lvl11 collectors and mines will produce a decent amount of resources in 24 hours. If you don't raid often, upgrading them is worthy it. But if your builders are always busy, you may upgrade defenses first.
I wish... how I wish there were like buttons on replys like that.. hahahaha!!!
Upgrade your resources. Sure, you can wait and do it during a TH upgrade, but why wait? as some others have pointed out via math, in the long run you gain more by maxxing your resources.
I made it a priority to max out my base everytime I jumped up in townhalls.
So maxing my collectors at townhall7 was the best thing upgraded. I am now a townhall9 and trying to grind out level 9 walls.
I can assure you, when loot gets bad and you got things to do in real life you will be thankful you upgraded your collectors ASAP.
If you raid a lot, they're not that important. I'm a mid-level th8 and get along just fine with level 9 pumps because I raid all the time. But if you rarely raid then max those babies out.
I sometimes don't really play for two or three days.
Good to have a steady flow of ressoruces from maxed mines and collectors during that time.
Nice necro. :p
I maxed mine out at TH7. I raid often and find them very helpful. They cover raid costs and I've always got some elixr to keep armies going. Especially after big research upgrades.
