any non AE enemy that can drop a level 50 recipe(47+ non pet/underling enemy) has a chance to drop a purple recipe.
In Non-AE missions, Defeat boatloads of minions (and perhaps higher).
Grab AoE character, set to difficulty 2 (for more chances per hour to get the drop), and go-go-go.
I got my last two versus L48 Hydra Men and Nemesis, both in normal missions.
Foes must be able to drop L50 recipes, so L47+ should do it.
The chance is really low, so don't focus on getting Purples, focus on fighting a lot of foes. And remember to sell all of your unwanted drops. The Market is the other way of getting them.
Okay thank you, got a lvl50 SS/WP brute so i can clear almost any huge mob was just wondering if i needed to run a certain mission. Thank you 
For my 21mo anniversary, I was rewarded with Armageddon: Damage, my first purple drop.

Best thing you can do to maximize chances of a Purple drop: keep space in your recipe inventory.
I've begun to save only set recipe drops. Any regular invention I just vendor. I got my first purple at 48 a couple nights ago.

that's the best way to go about selling stuff, but heck, a lot of the set recipes go for a lot less than you'll get for them at the market, so always check, some of them you might get 900 for at wentworths, but 10k for at the normal stores

To a degree, I disagree with that a bit. You can often get more for common recipes on WW, as long as you sell the basic stuff that everyone needs (Damage, acc, endurance, recharge, etc). You can even make money buying some common recipes off the workbench and selling them at WW. Yes, some people will pay more than workbench prices for some reason.

Unless you want it to sit there, from what I've notice, it's only on the 35+ common IOs that is true.

The items I bought off the workbench and sold for profit where level 20-40 recipes. Just to be clear, I was buying them and listing them for a loss, just to get the sales badges. I made decent profit off of it.
If you're an ebil marketer, then it's not the way to go, but for casual player, just listing stuff, and checking once/day, works fine.
And also, to reiterate, it was recipes that are in demand, not things like mezz, interrupt, intangibility, etc. Those go straight to the vendor.

Actually, you CAN get purples in AE - but from Devs Choice missions only (with 'Regular Rewards' selected).
