mines and collectors?

[romario555]

Is it worth upgrading Mines and collectors to Lvl 11..I am th8 and have lvl 9 mines and collectors.Should I upgrade it first?

I'd save those upgrades for when u have little time to play, collectors are dirt cheap to upgrade and keep ur builder occupied, but if you know that u will have minor playingtime for some days, they come in handy.... If you are farming hard then upgrading them is a waste of your buildtime, and more expensive upgrades would be more suitable. I upgrades my mines and pumps during exam periods

I would upgrade them ASAP. I have just now at th 10 started upgrading mine til max because I figured what good was having them maxed if I cant protect them, than I read here on forums how much you actually get per day and per month and per year from maxed collectors, than realized I was dumb for not maxing right away.

Mines/Pumps maxed with 1 gem boost are amazing.
Also they server a purpose in Clan Wars as HP boost and buffers for defence towers.

That's what I did. I rarely lacked the needed resources so I don't mind not having maxed collectors, but when I do lack the time to attack for resources, collectors are a good way to stall for time. Not having max collectors also makes my base less attractive to attackers

I'd argue that if you can afford it, upgrading offensive things like camps, lab, and spell factory (barracks are situational) first can help you get more money than collectors. Everyone who's played a while have had games where they were 1-2 buildings away from a win and those extra 5 units or upgraded archers could help and is more useful in war.

I'd agree that boosting would be great but other buildings probably get more hp per time spend on upgrading so those helps as buffers more

They are useful but non-essential. If your asking the question it's probably because your starting to struggle a little with the upgrade costs. It was at th8 that I reached that point and maxed mines and collectors. I'm not a hard-core farmer and could farm perhaps 1.5 or 2 mil per day. The extra 430k per day was needed at that point

If you're a casual player, yes, but if you're active, no.

Spot on... at some point during TH9, you are going to want the extra passive income while you wait on longer and more expensive upgrades - at TH10, it's definitely worth having maxed them all earlier.
