On my last post i asked about gemming for the queen, and a lot of you said its super easy to farm for her. If i raise my DE 10k-20k i get spammed by people using lightnings.
Im at 1200-1300 trophies and I'm TH8 with level 3 DE storage. But anyways my point is what trophy level do you need to farm DE
I have lvl 5 king and believe me those upgrades weren't easy
I've heard over 1500 or so the lightning stops because people don't want to give up the trophies for a loss.
I find that at about 1800 + where people value trophies more than resources, you usually don't get hit for de specifically but your base as a whole. Moving up there to farm de is a viable option, but you have to consider the fact that you could be very heavily raided. Is your base ready to defend against 6 pekkas? Etc. When my clan did a trophy push, I hit 2k trophies in a couple of days. Going down, I did a profit of about 2.5k de/hr until I came back to ~ 1300 trophies to farm. In getting my archer queen, I had saved up about 37k de but it was so difficult to get the last bit. People kept hitting me for 1500 + so i gemmed the last bit. Anyway, that's my opinion on this issue. (: Hope it helped a bit.
Go above 1900 cups and you will find lots of de , if thats what you are looking for. Be ready with lots of gobs few wb and giants and a rage + heal can help. Good luck
Thanks guys
When i farm for DE, i find it helps to focus. Raid only for DE. Ive left gold behind lots of times because id already gotten the DE i came for... The reason for this is, is that if your other resos are low, your less of a target... People often just look at the amount of gold available and move on when its low....
as for lightning strikes, yes they happen, but its not as bad now with the new update ( or as good if you happen to lightning a DES)
The other thing with focusing is you reach your goal faster. Just make sure you have a builder ready when it happpens so youre not sitting on all that DE....
im at TH 8 (5 weeks in) and ive got my BK to lvl 8. The last upgrade, i miss timed it and had to sit on 30k + DE for over a day... I got a few LS attacks but i used the shield to stay safe. I also raided more DE than i needed so that even with an LS attack it was stilll enough...
hope this helps,

1600+ is the appropriate place. If you go too high though you will be heavily raided by th9's. You won't get lightning attacked much after 1600 with up to 40,000 de as most th7's there are clever enough to know you might revenge them and steal a lot, while th9's suffer from the loot penalty if they attack them and would be classified as a free shield.

I recently farmed 65k DE over a week (I'm also on holis so don't dis my farming!) at 1800 trophies and there are very few lightnings up there. As a maxed TH8 in terms of defences and walls I only had 2 attacks that stole 1k+ DE and they were TH9 Dual Heroes and 4 spells used so if your a reasonably well upgraded TH9 then the attacks won't be too overpowered. And a lot of TH10's attack you and you can revenge them for 2k+ DE.
Increasing your trophies may help, I usually find that comes from lower level players. Also upgrading your DE storage, because it will increase the hitpoints of it and you will loose less from lightning spells.As well as DE pumps to keep ranking it in.
