I got a scarlet 2i2 audio interface and i have a rode nt-usb, would it be worth it to buy a xlr to usb cord or do i have to invest in a new microphone?

There may be a way to go usb>xlr, and if you find a cheap and easy way I guess try it out, but I'm reasonably sure the quality won't be great.
If you have an interface now you gotta get a proper mic for it. A good place to start is Sure SM57 and/or SM58. Inexpensive, quality, reliable, durable, universal.

finding some way to hook a usb mic up to an interface isn't going to sound better than a usb mic hooked to usb.
the mic internals leading up to the built in interface are still the same.
