Well, blue side there is the demon farm (if you wanan go blue side thats pretty much the best) and red side people seem to do nemi (liberate TV i think it is). Judgement (pyronic or ion, imo), reactive, and the alpha for the lvl shifti (f you dont need cardiac spirit will help the most) are of course the most useful iPowers.
I personally prefer to farm tickets, but thats just me.
EDIT: i *think* the demon farm is from Maria Jenkins, or maybe it's Harvey. Either way i think it might have been removed but then added again, i can't remember.

You want to find a mission full of things you can handle easily: with that build, that's about anything. For dedicated purple farming, -1x8 is the way to go and blaze through everything as fast as possible. Supposedly bosses have higher purp drop rates, but I've never noticed it.
A much better general farm is 0x8 with bosses. It's a bit slower, but you get a LOT more sellables. On a dark armor with fire damage I'd look really hard at farming Malta, assuming you're that tough.
For a bit more variety, try running the "World Wide Red" oro arc. Find a mission that you like, then run it live and save it as a farm.
Incarnate power you want is the T4 reactive and whatever Alpha you like best in your build.
Pretty sure he said he's DM/FA. So Malta is probably a bad idea.
Yeah, Brute. Dark Melee, Fire Armor, Mu AoE mastery. and yes, reactive.

Make a man a fire and keep him warm for the day, SET a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life.

If they arent 50 though other IOs they drop with be 49, which means they are worth a lot less.

I'll be running at level 50 mobs. With level shift from Alpha and the other incarnate abilities I should be able to handle 0/+8 with the right enemies. Fire damage mobs would be great. That way I get shards (worth so much lol) and the recipes i get I can pawn off for a little something something.

OK, nm.
What you want then are Council Empire, Unai Kemens arc. That's assuming you have KB resist. If not, then grind through Harvey Maylor's arc for the demon farm, although demons are annoying on a melee toon, as they stay at range, like, a lot.My bad, sorry about that.
EDIT: LOL, see folks beat me to it, duh.
Also, purple farming with a single target melee set? Roll a fire/fire tank, it'll work better.
Although.... I wonder if you could farm rularuu effectively these days. Those things have always had awesome drop tables, or so it seems to me.

Unai Kemen and Harvey Maylor both have a decent map which can be run no problem with */FA
Get both ? You can have 7 active missions 
Then figure out which one you run quicker and run with it.

PS> yeah, unai council empire is a very nice map, run a pattern around the outer edge then inner spawns, i could do that sucker in my sleep

20.5 makes purples buyable at the new ouro market.

Purple Sets can drop off any baddie that is able to drop a level 50 IO. SO 47 minions, 46 Lt's and 45 bosses.
So yes any character that is involved with a team killing bad guys that fit the requirements is able to get a puruple drop but that do not drop at every level.

Farming purples can be fun. The little rush when the Purple text goes across the screen is nice. It is also tempered by the times you go to check what that recipe was and it is a sleep or confuse set.
As Ultrawatt said you can make very very nice returns in farming tickets in AE. No real need to run them at +4 as once your able to cap tickets in a single run there is no reason to up the difficulty.
The most important factor is finding something that you enjoy farming or you will never be able to stick to it.

Remember, you can farm ANYTHING.
Except maybe rularuu. Those things are beefy.
And probably vanguard, but they're too hard to find....

Really.
Ok, run an arc. Go to the vendor. Choose random rolls. Roll crappy-*** bronze, level 15-19.
Once you're completely full of 20+ recipes, go check what they're worth on the market, AFTER you craft them.
Anything worthless, sell at vendor.
Repeat, oh, five times.
PROFIT!
Also, some of the best, most interesting, funny, moving, dangerous stuff in the GAME is in AE. Play something besides farms.
