yep, those are the two key items to make the trip.

it isn't easy to get to the zone in with a shiny brass idol. and, if you have the guts to try, a failure means your corpse is stuck somewhere en route in ntov.

on my wizard i would sneak in and bind during a ntov raid....on my bard, later in luclin, i would make the run.

i recall needing the duration (6 min?) bard speed, brass idol, and bard DA to make it all the way....but i certainly don't claim to be the best at making the run. i also recall getting all the way to the doll house once, and not being able to click it because of all the mobs covering it up that i was training.
horrible CR...

again, risk v. reward...many players are just put off by this type of risk, especially since getting to the zone is only the beginning. once i got in on my bard it meant pretty much staying there for at least a few rl days at a time worth of playing before leaving the zone.

i don't doubt lots will go...but it certainly isn't going to be super packed. i'd say busy would mean 10 ppl in the zone at peak play times, if that.
mischief will be incredibly poop socked when NToV is down, I assure you. I made this run all of the time on my enchanter... and I was KOS in ToV period (giant faction), was an absolute blast making it through every time. Never died though. The only time I died, was trying to move my wizard there. She did not stand a chance, even with a Shiny Brass Idol in inventory. The trick is to wait to use the idol just before the flurry drakes are ontop of you. Sadly, the other trick I often used was waited until rival guilds had NToV, and just train through....
