They drop from any foe that is capable of dropping level 50 common IO recipes.
47 Lts drop level 50 common IO recipes, so always have been good for purples.

Never knew this. Thanks for the clarification Cat! Now to go find me the other 5 parts of Alpacalypse!
I heard Demons have a lower droprate than other enemies because of the "demon farm". Is this true? Is there any other groups that have a decreased drop rate?

Unless some credible folk can produce data...
To date, I've seen no data that proves this on any map...whether to the plus or minus side.
Now, back in the fall of 2007, there was this BP map...

Thanks! I wasn't exactly worrying about it too much just an old thing poopped into my head when I saw this post.
Very curious about the second purpler drop I've ever seen in game:
I was just soloing through Indigo's Marvin & the Malta arc after hitting 47. I wanted the merits and to clear my arc slot.
The arc was capped on difficulty level 4 with level 47 baddies. This was the second to last mission where you rescue a Russian hostage in the sewer. I was in battle with on lone Operation Officer who was 47 (yellow to me at 47).
He fell. I heard that tell tale Kaching and glanced at my xp tab (a tab with only rewards in it) to see if I'd gotten a regular IO recipe (he's my blueside badger and I am shooting for all the invention badges, including the 45-50 IO badges) or a stinko pool A recipe. Lo and behold I see "Apocolypse Acc/Rech (Superior)" in my tab.
Check my recipes in disbelief. Ayup. A level 50 purple recipe off a level 47 Lt.!
That is not supposed to happen, correct? I mean I'll take it. But have they changed the parameters for purple drops and did I miss the announcement? Or was my understanding that these things are supposed to drop ONLY from 50+ minions based on fallacy?
