This is a guide to the special extended inventory items available to Persons of Some Importance. Most of these must be crafted from components which are expensive and sometimes difficult to obtain. The first section of the guide lists the items along with their components and effects; the second lists the best ways to acquire those components.

ComponentsEdit

Searching out a Missing Woman (SoaMW), Doing Business in Wilmot's End (DBiWE) and Fighting a War of Assassins (FaWoA) are grindable storylines that take 11 actions to produce 1 CP of Dramatic Tension, assuming no failures. At Dramatic Tension 2 (3 CP) you may choose to cash in and get items for FaWoA. For the other two grinds you need another cycle. This means you can grind the corresponding items with 34 actions in FaWoA, or 44 in the other two.

There is no point in raising Dramatic Tension beyond 3 CP. 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 aquiring 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 then 0.5 Echo/action (down to 0.14 E/A for Whirring Contraptions). 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)
