Why do you not want to use gems? Work on your achievements so that you can get gems and speed up the upgrades to your heros. Have you gotten the 1000 gems by joining masters league? I understand not paying for gems as a challenge but gems found or earned are fair game in my book...
I am still TH8, my king is lvl5 and i am waiting to finish defense upgrades before upgrading th to 9 and working on getting my queen. (I always have 30k DE so it would not take long)

Because that's part of my challenge. Most people don't gem their Heroes' time, and there hasn't be anyone here who has farmed their heroes non-stop without gemming their time. Which makes my journey and I unique in its own right. Gemming their time also requires hundreds of dollars, which isn't a problem for me, but it is for many people. What I want to convey in this guide is that if I can do it without spending money, than anyone can do it. Now the other reason I don't gem time is because I use the extra time to farm gold and elixir so I can also farm walls. I have already completed over 200 lego walls. So as you can see, I'm farming Heroes and walls at the same time, making my journey even more special.Originally Posted by SirAlfred
I love challenges, that's why I use quick-to-train efficient armies (BAM) to consistently attack DE storages and farm DE at a fast rate.

Your xbows and walls are high lvl, but you have th7 level defenses.
Great job sharing your strategies Ash and good luck with the journey.
As a counterpoint to your path, I'm doing something slightly different
I'm upgrading my AQ ONLY and leaving my BK at 10 because...well he's kind of useless. The AQ on the other hand has been responsible for literally leveling bases all on her own on more than one occasion. My reasoning behind focusing on her is that once she's sufficiently leveled - she can actually speed up the collection of DE.
I just finished 3 boost sessions today ( 6 hours total ) to go from 25kde to 100k de using nothing but giants, barbarians, and archers (1,1 and 2 rax respective), 3 rages 1 heal, and both heroes. That started her UG to level 20. I'll most likely take her to 25, then pause to let the BK catch up to at least 15, but I'd rather have a fully upgraded hero (full-ish anyway) rather than 2 half way upgraded heroes.
I farm the DE, but then I gem the build time...For 7 days it's 1000 gems, so what I do is, I attack early in clan wars, then immediately put her to sleep. We have a sufficient gap between clan wars that I can get 5 out of that 7 day schedule dropping the overall gem cost to maybe 200-300 gems per level.
I hunt primarily in low c2 (crystal 2 league but around 2100-2200 trophies). That gives you the crystal 2 bonus (200de), but you fight crystal 3 bases (high th8s, mid th9s). Maintaing trophy count with TH9 GBarch is totally doable. The giants I use combined with a single rage to punch through outer walls and dive straight into the core of the base. If you plant the 11 you have on a single wall, you can punch through without having to use wallbreakers.
1 day into this season with those 3 boost sessions, I'm at about 70 attacks, and now I can relax for the rest of the week, or just continue to farm up my walls
Good luck on your journey!!!
Because I started playing game since mid July and I don't gem time. If I did gem time, then I would probably have a TH 10 with max defenses in less than a month (excluding walls).
The Barbarian King is not useless, he's the best tank in the game. But I agree the Archer Queen is better in her respect, with that 5 tile range of attack. And if you can only farm 1 hero at a time, then it's a good idea using the other one for better farming. However, that means it will take you twice as long to get both your heroes to lv 40. I myself don't have any problems farming without the assistance of heroes. And my plan is to get them to lv 40 asap, and I am having no problem at all farming for my DE.Great job sharing your strategies Ash and good luck with the journey.

Thanks and great share mate
My heroic heist is about 1.2m and just put my Queen to go to 16, Bk on 14.
What have you done with the rest?! Haha
Didn't do too badly last night but then went on a run of about 5 bases which I got pummelled.... Nothing more embarrassing than being mowed down by a TH8! Haha
My HH is also over 2M and my queen is going to 18 and king is going to 15.
The fact that your HH is much lower yet your heroes are the same level is an indication that you've collected more DE from your collectors as opposed to raiding. Which indicates that you've been playing much longer.
Every ~2-4 additional weeks that someone stays at TH9 (assuming 2x max DE drills) is basically a free hero level without any change in HH.
AQ70 (1/7/20) / BK70 (2/15/20) / GW50 (1/1/20) / RC20 (1/30/20)
AQ40 (7/17/15) / BK40 (1/4/16) / GW20 (6/13/16)
35 Max Walls (2/15) Level 13 Walls (1/15/20) / Level 12 Walls (10/25/19) / Magmas (6/18/19) / Lavas (12/19/15)
[TH12 @ 6/1/19] [2.75 year break] [TH11 @ 3/21/16] [TH10 @ 4/19/15] [TH9 @ 8/9/14]
Nice guide
