I have it on my fire/kin and was just wondering if it's viable purely for drop farming? Xp and Inf don't matter...over the years I lost my bm and freak farm sadly

Well .. isn't the point of farming to get 'Phat Lewtz' and not exp?
I'm sure that if you are farming the Demons map, the 'Phat Lewtz' will be the same as if you were farming a radio mission. Drop rates are the same, other than by level group and by Rank of said enemy.
Farm what you wish , if it be corn or if it be demons.

I guess that would depend on whether or not you wanted Magic Salvage.

Personally, I say farm Arachnos missions, at least they'll drop Magic and Tech.

But when you farm demons, how far apart should you plant them?

I share this thought process. If you want money/xp go to AE.

Another option is the Council Empire map. It has only human soldiers (no Vampyri, War Wolves, Ascendants or Galaxies), so it"s all S/L with a little fire, few mezzes and no mez protection, and there's at least two versions: The 20 glowie version from Unai's mission to seal the ruptures in three dimensions, and the kill all from another of his missions. I think there's a third mission (in his arc, maybe?), but I'm not sure. Council Empire drop both tech and arcane, just like normal Council.

And if you're JUST after drops, there's also one or two Family Earth and at least three Freak Earth maps from Unai. Both have had their XP/Inf rewards reduced, but the drop rate for recipes/salvage is unchanged. Both drop tech salvage only.
