I am a near maxed TH7. I want to be truly maxed, but I am having trouble getting DE. I have tried lightning and picking off drills, but I still only have 3,700.

Spend $5 and get him. Thats the easiest and least painful way of getting him at TH7. Your other option is rising to crystal 1 or 2 and picking off people that have 5k elixer with lightening spells (doable for a TH7, I was able to gain 12.5k for his upgrade this way).
Go up to 1600 trophies and lightning 1.4k+ DE.
Try finding ownly people with dark elixer not just loot that's what I did I ownly raided someone if they had dark elixer
Do what bunnybasher said.
If it's too hard to stay at 1600, you may still be successful around 1500+ with a bit of patience (clicking next more).
Meh..... I would not concentrate too much, your will easy get the DE naturally from attacking. I'm level 8 and my barb king is on level 6.
I don't even go looking for the stuff, it just builds up as you attack.
I am th7, after I had all my defensive buildings upgraded, I started working on getting all my walls to lvl 7. I raided many th9 and 10s with a ton of elixir, gold and de. I used 10 lvl 2 dragons. I avoided active inferno towers, they will own dragons. Try and make sure the air defenses are lower too, or easy to get to right away. I just finished getting my walls to 7 and I almost have enough de to get bk to lvl 4. The only downside to this approach is that you need 300k elixir to get 10 lvl2 dragons. I was getting around 2k de per raid, a few over 3k
Idk about you guys, but I got a lot of De at 1,000 (Th7) trophy level. I got around 20k or so De, but this was before the extra De storage update. I found that premature inactive players house the most easy acquirable with barbs, archers, and wall breakers.
Go around 1300 trophies with 5-10 drags and get 1500+ that way or lightning spell with 3 level 4 spells if they have 800 available. I have a level 5 barb king for town hall 7.
I haven't even maxed my defenses yet and I got the barb king at th 7. What I did was just raid at 1400-1600 trophies and make sure they had a nice amount of DE because that's all that matters. Also I would use lightning spells everytime i worked my way up to 2 and would lightning spell ppl with 1500+ DE. For my troops I used 1 healer, 18 giants, 3 wall breakers, 42 gobs, and like 28 archers. Archers and gobs are rough estimate, don't fully remember but I got barb king in about 3-4 days and that was also working a job and not being on the whole time.
I was at level 7 th and made my Barbarian king in one day... I just farmed like 10-20times and used Lightning+archers:
Lightning for DE storage which often is heavily defended from troops
Archers for DE collectors which often is on edges of base inside the first row of walls or just outside :)
That worked well but I have taken the decision to Always farm all dark elixir for upgrades etc in one day because if you just attack a few times a day as I usually do, other people will come and Lightning your storage or higher people will get it down easy just with troops!!!
You just get alot more attractive when your darkelixirstorage is at 8k+ (depending on your DEstorage level ofc) and then you also loose like 1k DE between each of your own attacks if you dont stay online which you cant be forever because the battery go down fast with this game at least for me :/ also this depends on if you get lighten many times and no shield or if you get Heavy attacked and get shield between online time!!!
1k trophies is a bad place for DE. go up to 1500+ and you'll have better luck
Lightning trick was fine for me, took about a week. Several tips:
1. Do it on revenge as much as possible so you can see how much is available. They stay on your list about two weeks so i waited until they had at least 600 i could steal, with three lightnings i got about 300-400.
2. Don't try to attack and lightning for de at the same time. You need lightning for cc troops. It's faster in this game to specialize for one goal at a time then trying to do two things at the same time. I did something eke until three lightnings were ready, use them, closed the game and waited 90 mins.
