Gripe on fresh TH7 DE farming.. and the BK Price

[Godzilla86]

I'm making 5k DE a day without even trying to..
BK isn't that important btw at TH7.

DE farming......

I would not recommend lightening someone unless its as revenge. A guy did it to me on the weekend....he got 700 DE. I raided him back immediately and got 1700 DE. (Cheers mate!)

DE is easier to get in the gold leagues - even gold 3.

Dont next endlessly. If u see a base with good gold / elixir raid it. Re train your troops and start searching again.

Plenty of bases have DE storages on the outer edge of the main walled area and are quite obtainable. If you focus on the DE only - ignoring the other resources u can get it quite easily.

You also need to learn to judge when a collector looks full - if you come across a collector base then hit the collectors only. They can have more DE in them on times.

Put your TH outside so it gets sniped & u get a shield.

Upgrade your DE storage to lvl2.

And finally make sure that you have a builder free to get the BK when u get to 10k. I didnt. I tried to stay online as long as i could but had an enforced break , got attacked and lost 500DE. Hard lesson !

Good luck

The BK is so overrated at TH7. Everyone wants it and lightnings ppl for it. They then get it and realize how horrible he is (at level 1). Don't worry about getting DE and when you collect enough DE on the side then its a nice bonus. It's a waste of effort going after DE alone at TH7 and even TH8 in my opinion.

DE farming is challenging. Presently, I'm saving DE for TH9 Archer queen and lvl 5 minions, I'm at 50k/80k now. At OP, I use barch with wallbreakers and alternately, balloonions to farm DE.

I maxed th7 including BK minions and hogs, it isn't super difficult if you snipe de. Healer/giants added with some wb's and tons of gobs worked for me.

You also don't want a level 1 BK. You want level 5 for the iron fist.

Not a big deal imo..get to 1400+ And loot from high lvl full de. Collectors(go thru pics in clashofclanswikia)
N u can also get de from easy th8 storages..Barch with heal spells can get u de from storages from most. Bases in gold 3

Btw I hav a maxed th7 ..with heroistic heist at 140k..

Lightning those sitting on 1k+ DE. yeah...you might get revenged pretty badly, but it's worth the risk. Got my BK to level 3 at th7 doing this. It isn't the most efficient way, but at th7 you don't have many other methods.

You can grow some pair and raid for it?

Get to higher gold leagues/ lower crystal and U can raid enough DE in one day to get your BK.

U were until now lol.
Why do people keep doing that...

[MomoZB]

I'm omw to th7 guess I'll see soon enough if it's hard or not lol. Got maxed lightning atm but not sure if I'd do that route or just do a raid yet lol. After reading most of the comments it doesn't seem like it will be to hard to get. Guess only time will tell!

Noe the date... I just read about some loot change since then? idk but the problem seems to be the same that I faced and interesting how the advice back then is what worked for me ( Even though I did not know about it)

High silver, gold III/II is a good spot for new th7 to try get DE. It is a bad idea to use lightning spells since the returns are horrid compared to the investments. The idea is you can break though one layer of purple walls max and use archers to get at the second well. (Healers giants) Even with level three troops as a new th7 you can target DE and lose to high bases if you focus on just getting the DE. It was not a big deal for me to max BK for town hall seven/ eight before my other upgrades were done. I wish TH8 could take king to 15 since th 9 gives me shivers. uughghghghgghaaaaa

I noticed without reading the newer replies
I was looking for the person that bumpbed it, and thus that is the person I quoted.
