==Components==

'''[[Searching out a Missing Woman (Guide)]]''' (SoaMW), '''[[Doing Business in Wilmot's End (Guide)]]''' (DBiWE) and '''[[Fighting a War of Assassins (Guide)]]''' (FaWoA) are grindable
storylines that take 11 actions to produce 1 CP of [[Dramatic Tension]], assuming no failures. For DBiWE and SoaMW, you can instead take 1 [[Legal Document]] or 2 [[Whirring Contraption]]s, respectively. Please see the guides for an in depth explanation.

For DBiWe and SoaMW, if you get to the end of the cycle and have Dramatic Tension 1 (if you forget, you can also go do one of the other grinds to get the Dramatic Tension before cashing out), you can cash in to get various items.

For FaWoA, once you get to Dramatic Tension 2 (3 CP), you may choose to cash in and get items from [[The Treasures of War]].

There is no point in raising Dramatic Tension beyond whatever you need, as cashing out with any option that takes Dramatic Tension resets all of it. Also, it doesn't matter where the tension is from. This means you can use FaWoA for grinding Dramatic Tension, and cash it in with a different storyline. Handy if you have some skills you're better in than others, since the storylines use different skills.

The '''cost''' of acquiring these '''components''' varies. Items are ''reasonable'' ($) to obtain if they can be upgraded along their category line, if their '''components' value''' is close to their '''sell price''' or if the can be reliably grinded at about 1 [[Echo]]/action. ''Expensive'' ($$$) Items do not have a '''reliable source''' and are, well, expensive to craft. ''Medium'' ($$) means that while grinding is still cheaper than crafting, it must be done rather inefficiently at less than 0.5 Echo/action. The ''sell prices'' of these items are pretty arbitrary but this classification gives a hint at what to pick or hold onto if there are choices available (cf. '''weekly rewards''' and the '''rainbow options''')
