The Gnomic Candy Making Machine is a new item found April 2025's Rumor Woods Battle Vault, created by GM Thandiwe. It will create 10 pieces of candy when honey and a foraged fruit or berry are added to the machine. It must have a roller instead and comes with a "bear-cut" roller. Others can be obtained in the shop Honeyed Gears.
If you pour a grot t'kel potion on the roller, then when you make candy you have 10% chance to produce magical candy. You can tell the difference between a magical candy and a non-magical candy by the stamp impressed into the magical candy. This magical candy can then be imbedded with a spell.
Candy Making Machine
Analyze
You analyze the candy making machine and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
Introducing the Gnomic Candy Press, the finest confection-crafting contraption ever to clatter through the halls of invention, proudly brought to you by the ingenious burghal gnome duo of Fryc and Shives.
How does it work?
It's easy! With these simple steps, you, too, can be an amazing confectioner!
Step 1: PUSH a CANDY ROLLER into the machine.
Step 2: PUT a foraged FRUIT or BERRY into the machine.
Step 3: POUR some HONEY into the machine.
Step 4: TINKER with the machine to create your candy!
Each application creates 10 pieces of candy in your dish, and each candy is always 2 bites.
But wait, there is more! If you visit Fryc and Shives' shop at Rumor Woods, you can purchase additional rollers that let you change the design of your candy!
While the candy making machine's LOOK can't be altered, (How do you change perfection?!), its candies can be. Why, there are 80 different flavors of candy available! And you can even change up those flavors by complementing it with different types of honey!
So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the Gnomic Candy Press today!
Magic Candy Opportunity
Pour a grot t'kel potion onto a roller, then PUSH it into the machine to unlock a chance at creating magic candy. For each candy produced, there is a 10% chance it will become magical, allowing it to have magic IMBEDDED within.
Magic Stamps
You may customize the magic stamp on your machine. It is currently set to: a zig-zagging bumble bee
Alterations
You may alter your device but the LOOK is hard-coded, so please make sure your short and/or long description make sense. Additionally, you may customize your seal. The seal can be no more than 45 characters and will always be preceded by "stamped with."
Inspect
You carefully inspect your candy making machine.
You estimate that a gnomic candy making machine can store a very small amount with enough space for one item.
You determine that you could not wear the machine.
It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of iron, an extremely common metal.

Compact and sturdy, the machine features twin side cylinders, one crafted to hold fruit and the other designed to house honey. Centrally positioned, a channel is designed to guide the combined liquids from each cylinder to the melting basin, which has a pour spout over a space where candy rollers can rest. A long crank handle extends from the side, ensuring smooth operation, while a wide footer provides stability. Affixed to the frame, a small plaque bears the inscription: "The Candy Press of 5125, a Fryc and Shives Invention."

|
| TINKER
|
creates candy
|
You grasp the crank handle of a gnomic candy making machine and begin turning it, setting the internal mechanism into motion. A blood orange is pressed through a fine razern mesh, effectively liquifying it, as sugar pours from its cylinders, flowing into the melting pan as a small blue flame ignites beneath it. A mechanical spoon stirs the thickening liquid while rhimar rods press against the basin the moment the flame sputters out, cooling the concoction as it pours over the spinning rollers. As the clockwork pieces cease their whirring, the freshly minted candy pieces clatter into the tray near the device's feet.
|
Whirring sounds fill the air as Player cranks the handle on her a gnomic candy making machine, causing liquified blood orange and honey to fill the melting basin. The rest of the process happens so quickly that it is difficult to follow, but moments later, the clatter of freshly minted candy fills the air as the pieces settle into a tray at the device's feet.

Third
|

Specialty Roller
Analyze
You analyze the copper roller and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
Candy Maker Roller
An insect-cut copper roller is designed to be placed in a Candy Maker Machine.
The final product of the candy created while this roller is in the machine will be:
