Well thanks :D

Anyways, obviously there's almost no way to not expend Elixir when elixir farming, and its impossible to Elixir farm without Elixir troops below TH6 (discounting CC troops)

This was an old guide, I wrote this the day I joined the wiki. My opinion on elixir farming is simply to just to conserve Elixir, and refrain from using T3 troops and Spells whenever possible.

At least you can conserve DE by not training DE troops, but it definitely does not hold true for Elixir, owing to the fact that 99% of armies are somewhat reliant on Elixir (hog armies use Heal Spells, for example).
