This is a possible and I do mean that this is a possible tactic for increasing the rate of ichor drops.
Back story: started running Fire Forest yesterday I was on Thrasher and got 1 drop on my first run then none in the next dozen or so runs. Helped some guildies and went to bed.
Got up this morning & finished my OBD quest. And went back to Fire Forest. Pretty much the same results no ichor in the first 2 or 3 runs. But then a player joined who said to defeat the monolith first because the drops were better. Tried that one with some success. Maybe 1 or 2 drops in 4 runs or so. Not bad but still mildly discouraging.
Now to my theory: I started hosting runs but this time I let the party target the dragonet and I targeted the monolith. The drop rate JUMPED UP, to a nearly 100% drop rate in the course of 15 runs. The only time we did not get an ichor drop was when I died trying to target the monolith & was unable to re-acquire it before the dragonet was killed.
Keep in mind that this was only a small series of runs but still I felt that it was worth mentioning in case others want to try & see if their results matched mine.
Either way you can try it or not, but I am encouraged enough to continue testing. I would appreciate feed back if you do try this out or if someone has noticed a similar .
I'm keeping a running tally of 100 runs since I noticed the POSSIBLE tactic
16 runs - 15 ichor drops
8 runs - 8 ichor drops
