The hunts have improved over time. At first there was a difference for android users (which I was) and iOS users. I got a total of 3 gold tokens the first hunt. My recommendation is to get an alicorn if you are low on energy sources, or the unicorn if you are in more need of tokens. The Lorelei fountain pays for itself quickly and has a good chance for mermaid scales during regular play. I finally broke down and got beastbane.
