Purples drop from all mobs that could droop a L50 recipe. That includes L48, and possibly L47 mobs.
it's the level of your enemies which does determine what kind of drop you get I think. I had a similar experience a few weeks back. Also when I am the lowest (within 5 levels) level of the team I still get drops for the higher level (especially when i am sidekicked)
so if you are level 46 playing a level 48/47 mob, you are able to get a purple drop

L47 mobs can definitely drop them, as I looted a purple at L45 once and I'm almost always on Unyielding/Ruthless so +2s are the highest I usually face.
I was playing my lvl 46 Fire/Rad Corr last night in my usualy /rad teamw. Doing the Black Scorpion arc on 4th diff, and after killing a LB, much to my stunned amazement and joy, I drop a Purple Recipe (and one I need on my domi too
).
But how is that that a lvl 46 fighting lvl 47/48s, on a team where no one was above 46, managed to get a purple? Am I just very very lucky? Is it a glitch? Or do you start dropping them before you start fighting 50 mobs?
My understanding is that only lvl 50+ mobs had a chance of dropping them. Anyone able to explain, or should I just be very happy I got one?
