1. I’ve found that not all forest nodes give you the huge mass (100+) of targets. I’ve run two that just gave a regular amount (i.e. in the teens to low 20s in targets), and there’s also a variation that gives you around 65.

2. Without the “super-forest” nodes, the payout (in relative terms) is actually worse on Day 2 than it was on Day 1. I’ll explain:

I’ve been keeping close track of today’s results so far, and I’ve found that if I strip out the results from the super-forests, that I’m averaging just under 20 targets per run. Even with the super-forests I’m only averaging 30 targets per run. Compare this to an average of 7 targets per run on Day 1. Seems like an improvement, doesn’t it? But here’s the catch (analysis appears below):

If you look at the Challenge “ladder”, the token levels have been set at:

Day 1: 10, 30, 70, 110, 150, 190, 230, 270, 310, 350

Day 2: 50, 150, 350, 550, 750, (950, 1150, 1350, 1550, 1750 – I’m assuming these last five based on the pattern).

As you can see, the Day 2 Challenge thresholds are set at exactly 5x the Day 1 thresholds. However as I noted above, on Day 2 I’ve been averaging 20 targets without the super-forest, and 30 targets with the super-forest. So in both cases, I’m well below 5x the Day 1 average of 7 targets per run.

Conclusion: even if you hit the super-forests, in relative terms it’s going to be even more difficult on Day 2 than it was on Day 1 to earn tokens in the Challenge.

As for the Competition, well it’s all luck of the draw if you hit the super-forest (and whether or not you want to spend a huge amount of gems to improve your chances of doing so by simply running more nodes and hoping one of them shows up).
