Same here! For now, I'm still hopeful. I've managed to battle a few trolls and have a bit more Troll Essence now, I should be OK on this phase. Hopefully the quantity of drops will be manageable for the next levels.
For those that are thinking the 7 days applies only to Level 2, I seriously doubt that, but it would be a pleasant surprise if that were the case.
This is the only goal I am working on at the moment, between waiting for planks, and trying to trigger trolls. All else is on hold.
