Is it worth it?

Yes, if you're passing through anyway. It's pure walking: no kill or drop requirements anywhere in the chain, for 1,696 EXP (about 40% of a level at 13, which needs 4,200), 1,224 mesos and 20 Blue Potions. The EXP shrinks fast as you level, so do it early, ideally on a trip you'd make anyway, like heading to Perion for your job advancement or a first look at the Free Market.
