Ash's Journey to Level 40 Heroes and Dark Elixir Farming Guide

[Lightburb]

Channeled the inner 'you' and have done some hardcore farming these last few weeks. Since the 1-gem boost, I have upgraded close to 230 lego walls. Not going to bother with lava walls currently, but now trying to focus on my heroes who are 11 (AQ) and 13 (BK) right now. It is frustrating because my DE keeps filling up faster than their upgrade times, lol. Anyways, thanks for documenting your journey towards maxing heroes because it has been a huge inspiration in progressing my own base.

Eternal - What is your focus once you hit th10? I know heroes is your main focus, but how are you going to go about that with defensive upgrades?

How much gold/elixir/DE do you farm per day on a normal day? Do you stick to crystal3/gold 1 or you go up and down? I'm sorry this is a very long thread and didn't read the whole thing. Just wanted to say amazing job DE is by far the most challenging resource to farm, it can be very time consuming if you focus just DE on raid because you have to plan every attack. Personally I tend to go all in on bases with ~400k loot and get some DE on the way by trying for 2-3 star with giant/arch/barb so my DE farming is pretty average. I get around 30-40k per day and 15-20 mill of gold/elixir, just skip til 400k base and all in because too busy

I never have a normal day. Some days I play a lot, some days I don't play much, some days I focus on gold and elixir, some days I focus on all resources, some days I only focus on dark elixir. And I don't keep track of my stats every day. If you want a good picture of what I'm making on average, you can do some quick math using the stats I've given for the last 2 weeks:

Dec 17: 118 Lavas, 3,211,120 HH
Dec 31: 198 Lavas, 3,909,096 HH

3.9m - 3.2m = 700k DE in 14 days, so that's 50k DE per day on average
198-118 = 80 Lavas in 14 days, so that's 80*3/14 = about 17 million (around 8.5m Gold and 8.5m Elixir per day)

Of course you have to account that this is on my break, so I have a lot more time to farm than usual.

Awesome! Glad to help. Good luck on your journey!

Heroes will always be my top priority. I will of course start with all the offensive upgrades in TH 10 (Lab, Factory, Camps, CC) and then my 3rd Drill and Infernos.

Are you going to upgrade both heroes at the same time?

I'm going to have BK on upgrade at all times and gem the timer and feed my AQ whenever I have a full DE storage. This way I can use the AQ to assist me in farming DE at a much faster rate, since she's the best weapon for efficient DE farming. This also means that my AQ will be leveling up at a much faster rate than my BK, which is fine because a Lv 40 AQ will allow to me to farm DE even faster for my BK.

I've used my AQ (lv 25) for the first time to assist me in farming DE yesterday. I've farmed around 120,000 DE yesterday with her in Crystal 3. Once I'm TH 10 and have Lv 7 Barch, I'm going to try farming in Master League with her and Barch for faster DE with the amazing loot bonus.

Awesome thread!

Can't wait to see what's Ash's base is going to be look like once he's reached to Th10

I have a lvl8 king going to 9 and a lvl5 queen going to 6 atm.



I would like to hear your opinion on how I should level my heroes from now to lvl40.

Something like: king to 10, then queen to 10, then king to x, queen to y. If enough DE to upgrade both do it or save 1 hero for farming? Pretty terrible example but I think you got the point xD Just a level-detailed upgrade guide if it's not too annoying/time consuming for you to respond.

Queen to 10, then King to 10, in that order for every 5 levels sounds good. Queen gets priority.

Hi Ash,

I don't quite understand your logic here. Could you please elaborate on this. If you have your DE storage full, you would gem your builder on Queen because you can't farm with a full DE storage (it's clear for me). But, if you do that, you have to upgrade your Queen immediately to make use of the DE. How could you have your Queen farming for DE, because, as far as I can understand, your DE storage is still full (if you don't upgrade her)?

P.S: I visited your clan Altar of Heroes a few days ago and the experience was amazing.
