Getting the materials

Tablecloths come from Jr. Wraiths (the quest text sends you after them, and the item is "a tablecloth donned by a Jr. Wraith"). Spawn counts per map, densest first:

Jr. Wraith (Lv 34): Line 2 <Area 1> (83), Line 1 <Area 2> (69), Line 2 <Area 2> (32, also Wraiths, Lv 48), Line 1 <Area 3> (31, also Wraiths), B2 <Subway Depot> (12)

Fairy's Tentacles come from Fairies, per the item text, and that's the slow part: Fairies (Lv 29, 593 HP) are scattered one to three per map. The best spots in the data are The Entrance of Golem's Temple (3 Fairies), The Breathing Rock (2), Tree Dungeon, Forest Up North VI and VII (2 Fairies each) and Someone Else's House (2 Fairies, next to Mushmom and Iron Hogs). Expect to channel-hop.

Is it worth it?

Yes for anyone climbing Kerning City grades. Our take assumes contribution is your main goal:

700 contribution, with only two fetch steps.
You pick the Overall Armor scroll, so it's always your stat.
The story sets up the later Chun Ji chain, A Grudge That Won't Rest.
