No. All critters of the same rank have the same drop rate, regardless of level. It's easier to defeat lower level critters, so for farming purposes, the lower the better (as long as they are green or better).

Maybe one. Maybe none. Maybe six.

Purples are about a 1 in 1000 chance of dropping if your in the right level range for them. The only reason increasing difficulty would have a chance of more drops is that the 3rd and 5th difficulty increase the number of mobs spawned giving you more chances per mission of getting what you are looking for.

If you are making a farm toon...get the farm at level 46. Go hit 50 and respec/IO out and whatnot. Then you go to level 2 difficulty, get fillers, then farm the heck out of it. This is what I meant to do on my toons but I forgot to get the mission at 46-49.
Level 46 Minions and Lts and level 47 minions con grey to a 50, and drop nothing. Get the mission at 47 and run at 4th diff, or get the mish at 48 and run at 2nd diff for best results.
@Roderick
I've gotten purps from 47's on my 50.
I hate you, I was just about to use that avatar.

And 5th... higher cons AND higher mob counts -- two great tastes that go great together 
Invincible (5th) is normal mob sizes and +2 levels
There is not a +2 levels and larger mob size setting

The 5th difficulty is only higher level mobs, not higher spawn count.

Level 4 gives you higher cons with higher mob counts. Level 5 gives you normal spawn sizes at +2/+3 levels.

Only if it was a Lt or Boss. A minion would con grey and give no drops. You want level 48 enemies so that nothing you fight cons grey, and therefore everything has a chance to drop items.
@Roderick
I can't remember what it was. I do know it was a scientist in front of castle in PI though. Maybe lt. since i have seen a boss scientist.

But there should be!
So non-gray conning minions can drop purples? For some reason I thought only Lts and bosses dropped them.
We don' need no stinkin' signatures!
Anything that is capable of dropping a level 50 common IO recipe is capable of dropping a purple. This means anything that doesn't con grey, and is level 47 or higher, and isn't an underling or pet.
@Roderick
Which mish is this anyway? And what others are worth farming? I'm old and I don't know what's good in this brave new world.
addendum question: mobs lower than lvl 50 often drop recipes of their level (say 48 & 49), since all Purps are lvl 50, does that mean non-50 mobs, even though they *can* drop 50s (thus also purps), don't do so as often as a lvl 50 mob?

I will second the "probably zero" number, but who knows, maybe the RNG likes you. I've played for months without getting purples, but in the week before i14 came out i had 6 drop.

Yes Socorro, 47-50 can drop purps. The often-ess is due to ratio of the rare drop, not mob level.

I discovered the joys of farming the wall in Cimerora - it's fun because I can spend as long or as short as I like doing it, no need to reset between runs, no need to find fillers, etc.
Redside, the TV mission seems popular for farming.
