supercell... FIX elixir farming!

i just turned th11, and im building up the elix for lab and grand warden upgrade. I have to raid th10s and th11s only with a farming army (gibarch) which is hard in itself since inferno towers and high level defences. im spending around 100k on every army and getting 2-3 elix storages which gives me 150k profit (th is a storage now... ugh)

i make what100-150k elix every raid? this progress is SO SLOW. 8 raids in and im up a million only... I need to save up 6 million for the lab not to mention anything i lose on defence.

FIX YOUR COSTING SUPERCELL. reduce troop prices so us th11s can actually gain elixir! it is vital now for the grand warden but SO HARD TO GAIN.

yes im going to bump this.. fed up of slow elixir gain

This is how the game is supposed to be played. /sarcasm

Hey Chief!!!

I see you are having trouble gaining elixir, and I understand your concerns! You see we felt the game wasn't intended to progress so quickly. Maybe you should consider one of our "holiday gem packages."

Clash on!!!!!

Ugh, I didn't realise until I upgraded and now need to farm again that it is actually very broken for us th11s and wont ever settle down unless prices are reduced

Refer to my avi.. Its been 5-6 days now. Every day I post it the days increases lol.. And I play everyday lots :). Now I must resort to using DE armies to farm Lix.. Still get hit max cap on multiple Defense per day... Also need to donate + donate war troops + clan wars.. My lix is not going anywhere :).. 6 Mil lix saving is like saving 24 mil gold for me..

I really regret dropping 6 mil on lavas near update time.. That set back my lab soo much..

yeah.. im so much more reluctant to donate elix now since it's such a scarcity it's ridiculous

hiw the hell im gonna pay for all 20 ga levels I'll never know... itl take a bloody lifetime

Yes. TH11 would be very difficult. I will be TH11 in two days. I was fine as TH10 and my storages colelctors are full atm. I hope that it will help me a bit when I got to TH11. I will farm using Hobarch because I have a lot of DE. Let see how it turns out :)

Welcome to my world. I suggest you skip logging into game from now on and work on your post count and razzing mods. No point in TH11, unless you have a boatload of gems. Beware being nasty on the forums though as you will get a warning or an infraction. Stay jovial! Welcome to Forum Clash!

i was the same, the gw costs 6 mil so that's almost all elix gone, and then u have to save up 6 mil for the lab to upgrade.... not to mention every level of the grand warden.

i might use hobarch actually

fo sho :(

10chars

It's not just th 10s or 11s struggling for the scarce elixir, but all levels are now finding themselves in a rut trying desperately to maintain enough elixir for troop cost alone.

Instead of focusing on one town hall level let's try looking at the whole problem so that there may be a solution for the entire clash community and not just one group.

I am not sure that the answer is in lower troop training cost.

Maybe we should reevaluate the bonus and just give a full bonus instead of a percentage or maybe we should open farming back up.

What ever the decision is it needs to benefit all levels and not just the top percentage.

Just my thoughts...

My GW is at 6 and my lab is done. Not sure what your problem is.

So help him out then.. Tell him how you do it instead of just saying he has a problem (obvious).. Are you raiding max 10/11's, barching for bonus, or dumpster diving?

They will never remove th-sniping a supercell-employee said on the forum!

They will never make something cost more than 8 million they said!

Loot is everywhere after the update they said. Adapt!

This update is the biggest mistake they ever made, I say!

Oh I see, you are just here to show off rather than help then :smirk: :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

1 gem boost is going to come! They will fix the elixir, but only for 1 or 2 weeks! :facepalm:

im in crystal 2 using gibarch and i target bases with 350k elix minimum... I take 250k which is 3-4 elix storages. however since they are th10/11 i usually use a spell so im spending up to 150k on just the army

i posted my problem.. clear lack of loot.... it's taking way longer than it should and on def the only people that hit me are people that use max heroes gowipe since my base is fully max, and without def heroes im mince meat.

AW barches for bonus. Many adults are not going to have the throughput to make decent loot doing this... and this is not what SC claims that they want. I'm not disputing the results, just saying that SC has said they want people to play a certain way, then failed to facilitate it.

No people just don't listen. Im barching in. Champs 2 atm for league bonus.

It's time everyone realises the game has changed, it's not impossible to play anymore like the doomsayers will have you believe. You don't have to wait hours to build war armies.

Iv'e seen a few other farming strats posted here too that look like they are working.

Adults? What's age got to do with it.

Not divulging my age but I'm a father so pretty sure I'm well and truly in the adult realm.

Ok, that is helpful information at least in some way :) . I did remember your posts but I'm pretty active and I'm sure most might not as it gets flooded.. But on the other hand, maybe not everyone can do it as good as you and developed the barching skills at high levels.. But just saying you are doing fine and dismissing others without any kind of information is a bit unneeded. Just my opinion. Thanks

The key is getting in a high league, any farming strat will work if your getting a nice league bonus every attack.

The guy's a TH11 so he will have no problem mixing it up in champs or higher.

Elixir seems to be broken across the board even Th8's are having shortages

Didn't say you weren't an adult... just said that many adults would struggle to do it given their playstyles.

So you fallen into the supercells trap, boo hoo for you guys, lol...but seriously

im a early th10 and there is no elixer either for myself, plus all my other clan mates.

its because to get any proper loot you need a proper army, so every attack is to pretty much to break even. I'm finding gold around everywhere.....tbh, not as much as before the update

im a casual player and my th10 I've saved 8 mill gold in 8 days to get a inferno upgrading, I just spent 7 mill elixer on pekka upgrade to lvl4 which took me 12 days and my barb King to lvl16....lost count on that one.

But ive been from champions down to bronze looking for the big payouts....

btw I only attack 3-4 times a day if I'm lucky

Sorry still don't get the correlation between being an adult and the ability to barch for league bonus.

I sympathise entirely with the OP... I have found some elix down in silver but probably 1/5th of what I used to get. I have managed to keep 5 builders busy at TH11. That will soon tail off as the upgrade cost of new stuff increases. I've got my warden to 8.. Gemming time, never resources. I'm really not enjoying clash at the moment. I'm trying to adapt , tougher army and extra spells but I am finding it a real chore.
War as a TH11 sucks. If enemy only has TH10s you will be lucky to get 1 mil of each even if you beat #1 and #2. As a L9 clan with the perks I could get 1.4 mil by getting stars on 1 and 2 when I was a TH10.
when I farm i only seem to get max def TH10s.

i really want to try to adapt but a few things need to change.

i was never a TH Sniper and I agree that it was a bit silly and needed to go.
But having removed sniping SC has for some bizarre reason decided that any bases with full collectors will be opted out of the match making process ... Why oh why ?!?

Ok .. If you want me to raid with Gowipe/wiwi... I'm happy to do it but you will need to reduce training times and costs, otherwise I'll just have to stay in an artificial low league and gibarch for a fifth of what I used to get. Not sure how long I can keep that up before i just throw in the towel...sigh

So if you're only attacking 3-4 times a day why don't you do it in a high league? An extra 600k to 800k elixer for you right there. You'd have plenty of time to build a big enough army to get the majority of the loot on offer too.

you get hit huge on defence in a higher league. no use raiding a couple of times a day if every time u break the shield then log off u lose all ur loot

theres not much can do about that, not gonna wait for heroes to regen and get a strong cc on defence every single time

as a big war player, its not down to the base. its down to people with max heroes as th11s storming a th10 like me (i have no ea)

Nice to see a fellow veteran clash back on the forums. I upgraded to TH11 recently too. Only way I'm able to save enough elixir to keep the GW/Lab/gold storages going is to use a hog+minions army. Game is broken.

:) ive supported supercell and kept fairly quiet about the update.

apart from minor issues with the pb still acting up for me i like everything else really. my only issue is this elixir problem. costs need to be cut by a third at least to at least enable us to stockpile elixir! im not seeing any loot on th11s atm because theyre spending it all so they dont lose it on defence!

yeah.. will have to turn to solidly farming one resource at a time and going to start using hogs until i at least get my gw ability!

I am am moving up, just slowly, after dropping down to bronze looking for the loot, I'm now on the verge of crystal without trying. And finding the loot a bit better. The thing I miss from the game is cheap shields to save, but I've never been a th sniper unless I found one in masters, that loot bonus was unreal for a single AQ strike...lol

we definately see eye to eye on this matter. I completely agree with everything you have just said!

a further note - i didnt realise bonuses were cut like that, the loot bonus i was getting as th10 was a huge benefit elixir wise!

Agreed. I was a max TH 10, and now TH 11. Ive used GiBarch with healers since forever...and that strat still works for me, currently bopping around Masters, the loot bonus helps immensely. So does Max Heros and a GW to be honest.

I will say this, I have become more adept at farming TH 10's since the update, I appreciate that farming is now more challenging, adapt or move on.
