The one thing I'm not exactly pleased with is the extremely high barrier to entry for a Maple Rewards pet. It takes a long time for a new player to amass 6k+ points, which is like 100-150 points a day for every day of the month.
Star Planet will give you 1500 points a day, even if you're a completely new character unable to kill even Mole King.
Depending on which game you play and how lucky you are it can take a couple of hours, but it's guaranteed if you keep playing.
5 days to get a pet, not bad when you consider that you have Tot's free Puffram until then.
Also, specifically right now (and for the next month) we have Beefy's Kitchen where you can craft a pet for 400 coins. Coins drop from "enemies your level" at about a 1:30 rate. So this is another way to spend several hours earning a free pet. (Not entirely free, though, as access to the Kitchen costs about 5m meso).
The pet lasts 30 days but can be revived with Water of Life. One of these pets even has Auto-Buff skills built in.
Other pet skills can be crafted for 400 coins each, as well, and applied to any pet.
I haven't seen many Epic Elite Mob drops lately, either. Do get some from both Elites and normal mobs, though. And you certainly get enough drops to fuse for better potential, if you're willing to put the time (and meso) into it.
And of course if you can MPE (at 100) you have the guaranteed-epic General Hat, Overall, Shoes, and Gloves.
