Q:
"For the Children!" collection
Yes. Last year I completed the jumping puzzles/ornament collecting a couple months after wintersday.
Do the ornaments still drop from the chests after Wintersday ends, assuming you unlocked the collection already? The ones after feeding Grawnk the bloodstone food.
I have a friend who’s not high enough level to go to Orr yet, so he cant get the 6th piece yet.
I’m not sure if the drop locations are absolutely set in stone. I received 2 of the ornaments (The tinsel one and the doll) in drydock scratch and I was previously under the assumption that they all dropped from maps that have been in the game since release
The chest drops are based on the appearance of the treasure chest, rather than a specific location. Chest appearances do tend to vary based on location, but this is inexact. The Asura chest, for example, can appear in Maguuma zones where Asura live, but it also appears in some Asura labs in other places like Fireheart Rise. So a place like Drydock Scratch might have several different chest graphics as you go through the JP, and thus provide you with more than one ornament.
As for the actual question, yes, you can get the Orrian-style chest later outside of Wintersday, as long as you’ve progressed to the point where you’re starting to get those drops from chests.
That’s strange for sure, but thanks for clearing it up for me
The ornament you can get from the Vizier’s Tower can also be obtained by doing either the JP in Metrica Province (Goemn’s Lab) or Caledon Forest (Spekk’s Laboratory) as they should have the same kind of chest.

I’m not gonna spoiler it too much, but … there is one chest that qualifies for an ornament drop in DryDock Scratch, for those two. The rest don’t. So you should probably complete it until you get the thing you want there, if that’s your preferred approach.
