Or you could just go to silver 1 and use the underdog strategy (healers, giants, wizards) to farm DE. Although it takes almost an hour to train, you won't get raided for your plentiful DE if you're a solid TH8 (or if I don't come across you). Ever since I dropped, nobody has (successfully) raided my DE - the closest someone ever got was a TH9 who only got 40 (xD), however my defenses are pretty much maxed. This is how I managed to save up enough DE for level 2 golems (at TH8), rather than going to masters and boosting my barracks etc. Hope this helps!
