Is it worth it to spend Trade Goods for Storage Blessing? Most of the time in my case, I always get very little refund for the first attack on me and the subsequent big losses are not being covered. What is your experience with it?

Sounds like ur being raider farmed. At high medal ranges where an attack gives pt everytime u only need storage blessing once. And that can means a 350k gold loss turns into 270k. Saving 80k gold better than most blessings will net u

I use it all the time, mainly because I don't have much use for metal + leather, so free trade goods save one or two battles (my time) replacing the bigger losses.

On a somewhat related note: I've yet to construct a vault 'cos I've read conflicting reports about how valuable they are for the cost of construction/upgrades. (I'm early EA).

Is it worth getting? Is this something that can be beneficial if I also use the Storage blessing? Is one preferable to the other?

Yes storage blessing is actually very useful and very cheap for what it is. You usually get 5 metal from a single gold mine and leather is plentiful with deers and boars, not counting looting. That's the first thing I put back after checking my defense log.

Regarding vault, it is really useless for me now. I have had 300k gold in there for like 3 weeks and don't need to take it out. I'm even thinking of just not using it at all. I have never found myself in a situation where I am short of 300k for what I want to do. But it also depends on your league bonus I guess. At the moment, I get 150k of each resource in empire 1 so that's just 2 victories. The vault may be useful when you have issues saving (e.g. when playing in raider's territory at lower medal range).

Storage blessing should be on all the time I would say, quite cheap for what it is. Forget about the vault, especially upgrading it :)

Nothing to shout about for the Vault. It just serve as place to stash a tiny bit of resources. In IA, it generates interests for 1d deposit.

The Vault keeps 600K resources for me right now. I fully maxed it and thinking whether to choose Eiffel Tower to boost it even higher.

The point is, when do you actually use these 600k? Right now, it's just resources wasted for me because I can always have enough of what I want when I need it. So it's dead resources sitting in the bank. I can get 4-5m of each resource per hour so I'm never short. But maybe, I'm getting access to easy looting comparatively and this may not be everyone's situation.

at lower league levels, 600k is a massive amount of resources and could be the entire amount collected from one's raiding session.

I did not bother with the vault. Maybe when or if it becomes usable I'll reconsider.

The storage blessing plus the Korean 10% refund on loot might just prove a viable option.

The vault is very useful for me. It helps me stash resources so my resources don't get too high to attract people attacking me. When I'm close to an upgrade and I'm short on resources, I can withdraw from the vault. Very useful.

I do the opposite - keep 6m of each on hand, when eventually somebody nicks 350k I just pop out and top it up again.

Everyday, I just take out the 600K and earn its interest and then put it back in LOL.

You another French player?

Hahaha you killed me with that interest joke. Then I remembered you also like to get all your buildings connected to the road, so no small savings hey? :)

Yes French player but it actually does not make much difference now past 3000 medals. There is no opponents to be found for quite some time, if you are lucky 10 in an hour. So having regular training blessing would be enough, I don't even get to abuse the additional French reduced timing.

Yeah... I enjoy watching the camels walk all over the roads. Sometimes I catch 1 or 2 of them and reposition them on another section of the road.
