You get 3k resources per hour for the rest of your life with a max collector, I agree they are low on priority each level but they need to be each at level 10 by the time you finish th6 and 11 by the finish of th7

Unless you are farming non stop then you need to max them out.

I've had mine maxed for probably 2 months so that is 2 months that they give me more than if I hadn't. And as strife said that will continue for as long as I play the game.

I cannot farm as much as others so this is a make factor.

People recommending not maxing out collectors and mines are crazy. It's not like you can't farm while having maxed out collectors. But if they're not maxed out you're leaving money on the table every day.

It's not like my builders are sitting around with nothing to do, and I'm stubbornly refusing to send to on the collector job.

Your builders may not be sitting around but nobody has fully upgraded walls. Thus you cannot say that you have enough resources.

Just think about it this way, at th 8 or 9 you can have six of each. That's 432k gold and elixir each day for doing nothing when they're maxed. That's like 13million gold and elixir each month that some people are advising not to collect.

My walls have been all maxxed at the point in time that I have built each TH upgrade, so actually I can say I have enough resources. I farm faster than my builders can spend it.

This last TH upgrade (6) was the first one in which I didn't have everything maxed when I upgraded. I maxxed off everything except the collectors, for two reasons: 1) because of the promotion I didn't want to stop the boost and 2) I didn't want to wait a week for the collectors to upgrade before I could start working on getting healers and unit upgrades, which I consider to be much more important than an extra 300x12 resources per hour.

PS: Instead of quoting absolute numbers of what maxxed collectors provide, you should be quoting relative numbers of what they provided versus collectors a level or two lower. Here is a chart for everyone's reference: http://clashofclans.wikia.com/wiki/Gold_Mine

It's actually 3000 per hour. And the absolute numbers were regarding people suggesting not building them at all. But having max collectors vs having collectors at level 7 for instance equates to about 200k of each per day.

Nobody was saying in your specific example they should be maxed. By the end of town hall 7 they should be. They're too important not to be.

I have something you can max collect

Is it your penis?

I bet it is his penis.

lv10 = 2500/hr
lv11 = 3000/hr

500*6collectors = 3k/hr
3*24 = 72k/day.

The cost of the lv11 upgrade is like 170k, and 4 days?
4*2500*24 = 240k
170+240 = 410k is the cost to upgrade.
payback is 410k = 500/hr*24*X (where X is number of days until you've paid the 410k in lost earnings and cost of upgrade)
X=34 days

If you plan to be playing this game in 35 days, it's worth doing. If you think you'll be playing in 70 days, you'll have an extra 420k to spend than if you hadn't.

Break even points itt

In this situation where we are a billion stars ahead of the other clan, is it even worthwhile using my second attack?

Yes. Go after the highest base that you can get at least one star and you'll earn a bunch of resources

Poker Degens confirmed sick.

But... :'(

But if you do this and we lose its an insta boot.

We can be way ahead just because trey haven't used enough attacks yet. If you are gonna only 1 star for loot then wait till the end. Don't do it with 8 hours left and then all their high level players make all their attacks and they win

Fair enough. If they do make a comeback then I'll leave anyway because that was a reckless stunt I pulled there.

Gamblers gon gamble. Obv. :-/

Fwiw if you apparently hit attack instead of Scott you can end battle without it counting as an attack if you don't drop any troops.

For example, Im planning on attacking higher then usual and trying to gain us one star if successful, and myself more loot against their number 12. I got my camps prepped but I will wait til there is less time and its clear we will likely win before I gamble.
Should they start coming back near the end, I can use this same base to easily 3 star number 39 or something to get a guarenteed star for us if need be.

Would take patience.. But think it would be cool to have say someone in our top 3 leave their TH outside the walls in their war base.. No one apart from a couple of people attack the other clan.. Wait to the last half hour or something til they start thinking we're an inactive clan and all pile in on the TH for the easy loot..

..... Then WHAMMY, we all attack and 3* their ass..

Amirite!?

Seems legit... :-/

Good to know, I screwed us out of a few stars the other day when I misclicked, was scared to back out, and had to battle with half an army.
