Component-Scrounging Tips
1 of 3: You'll find U-Invent components in various types of containers starting in the Arcadia region.
2 of 3: If you're wanting to save up lots of components to make a specific item, you should quicksave before you search a container that might have components in it, then quickrestore and try again if you don't get something you want.
3 of 3: If you have the Scrounger physical tonic equipped (see the Research Tips), you can use the "search again" feature on a container before you resort to quickrestoring.
