Default Easiest way to accumilate DP?

I have a lot of pumpkin cookies I want to use for my sweet title but they're not spammable. I was hoping there was a way to go afk and get 60DP, come back and use the cookies, then repeat, but apparently I don't get DP from a vamp weapon. Is there a way to do this?

I ate my way through 2,000 cookies fairly quickly the other day by taking BiP + a vamp weapon and 3 monk heroes with Unyielding Aura and nothing else. 3 bips = dead. Get rezzed almost instantly, two cookies for you to eat! Or bip a few more times and do 60 DP then eat. You'll still get DP even from the super quick deaths

Just be watching TV / have a movie playing / be reading at the same time. It's dull :P

I did this through 8,500 Cookies over 2 days this week. I set my Enter key as a macro for BiP>Double Click, took 3 UA heroes with Serpents Quickness into the Domain of Pain (The 20 damage everytime you use a skill means BiP only needs 3 casts not 4), then shrunk my window, positioned my mouse over a stack of cookies and spammed Enter while watching some movies.

position monk w/ ua +self heal all other skills disabled near the student of burning. You'll be rezzed and killed very fast.

When you rez from a skill (like flesh of my flesh), you have a grace period during which you will not acquire additional DP *if you do not use a skill.* That's why the vampiric does not work, while BiP does, and the poison can or cannot due to the slowness of it, depending on your life total. However, these limitations do not apply to shrine rezes - it will take 10 seconds to rez, and you get a few seconds of invulnerability, but you will get DP on every death.

For the AFK method with shrines, I recommend leaving camp rankor south into talus chute. Run past the shadows to the nearest res shrine just north of avicara. The shadows popups and sometimes the avicara will camp that shrine and keep killing you over and over again. Let it keep going and just return to the game every now and then and spam your cookies.

Another place to try is the shrine outside Rata Sum, in Riven Earth (on the way to the Raptor cave).
There is a Raptor patrol that passes close to it, wait in their patrol, get killed, eat cookie, rinse and repeat

Likely not the fastest, but worked well enough for my main Nec a fair while back.

Cheers.

I used the shrine right outside Deldrimor War Camp. As long as you get a spawn with the enemies below in range of the edge of the cliff behind the shrine, you're sorted.
