Increase DP Output

Recently I have been trying to farm some DP from Hardcore Zombies (in Shadow’s Descent) and PvE (Queen Bee, Plantera and Queen Slime).

One thing I noticed is that there was barely any DP output, it took me several minutes and maybe even hours to even get 100 DP from farming Queen Bees which seemed like the most efficient method, it used to be much easier to farm DP before, I am not saying to increase it to a really high extent, but rather mediocre.

Farming DP is not viable at all anymore, you just have to hope and get lucky with metals from lootboxes or crafting a random item.

With some farming, I came up with the average DP output for QB, QS and Plantera which is 3-4, 3 and 2-3 DP per cycle respectively which seems relatively low.
