Ill throw my royals lvls on here too.

With a full de storage, I got my queen to level 2 the day before and stalled between upgrades and got her to level 3 now. But I'm just hovering over 1500 Trophies, slowing going up. I was about 1.4k trophies a few days ago. I find dark elixir a bit of hard to get considering the 4 mortars stealth nerf to barch. Slowly working my way up as I fill my storages. Already got both xbows under construction. Th9 is where the grind really starts, I have trouble finding collectors without nexting 30-50 times already

Man, now I realized what I enrolled for.
Honestly, it's a tough job for me due to following reasons:
1. I belong to a war clan. With every war, I spend lot of d.e. and its doesn't help if we loose that war
2. I manage to make 15-20 attacks a day. My daily d.e. collection average is 12-15K only
3. Currently, I am priortizing elixir hunting as my lab getting free in 4 days. Getting ready for next troop upgrade.

As of 21-Nov-2014
Barb King: Lvl 9 (Put to upgrade for lvl 10)
Archer Queen: Lvl 7 (Helping me in hunting elixir)

Yea it's a tough job lol. You could alternate upgrading your Heroes, one on upgrade and the other for farming/wars. This would be the recommended alternative for people who can only average around 20k DE per day.

Yea, make sure you're not below Gold 1 if you're going to farm DE. Decent DE is scarce anywhere under Gold 1. Getting that C3 badge will help too, 100 DE loot bonus.

Let me know what you guys think. I really appreciate all the feedback. And if you have any questions or suggestions for me.

I think upgrading hero's to max in a pre mature base is bad idea.. You can 3 star any max th9 base if the hero's are at lev 15-20 range and balloons, hogs, pekka maxed.. Bcuz th9 got a tons of upgrade with a high price tag.. I recommend to upgrade hero's and walls at last .. That's what all the farmers do ... Or it will be frustrated farming dark daily.. In a max base most of the attackers do is just zap DE.. If you got a weak base they gonna take 2.5k every 12hrs.. If you break the shield you will loose more.. Think again

I would go with eternal...I'd rather have 4 busy builders upgrading my defenses while 1 upgrades heroes (I can't do both since we are a warclan and it's hard to 3star bases without heroes)

,High level heroes benefit your offense thus making it easier for you to destroy maxed th9 bases with ease rather having a maxed th9 base and having low level heroes...believe me it will be hard for you to 3star an early th9 base or somebody matched your th if that guy has high level walls and well placed traps and you only have low level heroes.

Oh one more thing, a centralized archer queen at least level 10 can pretty much wreck some level 5 hog raids...specially if the attacker isn't that good at killing heroes.
