Guild Wars 2

Roundabout.1752:

Great thing about the GW community is that you do have high level friends you just haven’t met them yet. I’m willing to bet if you go to DR or LA and ask in chat you’ll find someone willing to run you to Orr, maybe even a couple of someones

Already found someone (well, they found me). Indeed, gotta love this community, thanks everyone!

psst. I got the gold ball without jumping through Orr, and all I needed was a high-level friend to be my bodyguard as I ran. Didn’t take twenty minutes.

Good for you, unfortunately I don’t have any high-level friends.

I don’t think anyone other than devs will be able to answer you; currently, the ornaments drop from correct racial chests with (almost?) 100% chance, but no one knows if:

1. it remains that way after Wintersday,
2. the drop rate gets reduced but items are still obtainable,
3. drops get removed until the next Wintersday.

I believe the 2nd option is most likely, but that’s only a guesstimate.

To be on the safe side, you can get a lvl 80 guildie/friend, preferably thief, to carry you to the JP without fighting mobs, when time comes closer to Jan 13 and if there are no news from the devs.

Thanks for the answer. I hope a dev can provide some clarification about this.

I’m quite new to Guild Wars 2 and I was wondering if I will be able to complete “For the Children!” collection after Wintersday is over as long as I have it unlocked (by consuming the Holiday Display Case). The thing is that I have to go to the Orr to get the Gold Ball Ornament and since I’m low level that’s not really an option for me.
