11Overview22Gearmelt Confectionery is a Other faction based in Delesyia. A group that ensures happiness at Pywel's tables. They have the capacity to mass-produce chocolate.

The factory is initially overrun with enemies that must be cleared before it can be restarted.1515Restarting the Factory1717After clearing all enemies from the factory, the machinery can be brought back online through a multi-step process. Each step involves interacting with different pieces of the factory's mechanical equipment:1919Grab the crank and rotate it to activate the first device.Turn the distributor below until you hear a distinctive click.Kick the bottom mechanism and hang on the lever.Turn the wheel until the water flow spins the wheel above.Jump on the platform until it rises, then turn the wheel to open the gate.Find the lubricant sprayer in the crusher corridor. Equip it as a ranged weapon and spray all the rusty machinery to loosen them up.Pick up the Mobile Chocolate Workshop Research Journal from the workbench.Operate the chocolate mixer at the top of the factory.Pump the pump until the lever flies off, then jump up and wiggle down using the interact button.2121Reward: Gearmelt Confectionery Pack2323Completing the factory restart awards the Gearmelt Confectionery Pack, which occupies the backpack slot. This pack grants the passive ability Endless Happiness: every 10 minutes, you automatically receive a Bait Cacao Snack that restores 120 health. The snack is added directly to your inventory without any action required, providing a steady stream of free healing while exploring or fighting.2525Dispatch Mission Rewards2727In addition to the story rewards tied to the chocolate factory, the Gearmelt Confectionery also acts as a dispatch unlock once you have visited the site and liberated the surrounding area. The mission it hosts is Delician Wine Production, which is one of the most efficient mid-game food and consumable dispatches in the game.2929Rewards3131A large bump in camp food resources per completed run, which helps keep a fully upgraded camp fed without grinding hunting spots.56 bottles of Delician Wine. Delician Wine is a high-tier stamina consumable that restores a significant chunk of stamina when used in the field, which means you can fly, run, and fight for much longer during exploration and boss encounters. For players who rely on stamina-hungry gliders or heavy weapon stances, this is one of the most quality-of-life rewards any dispatch can offer.3333Gearmelt POI Cluster3535The Gearmelt Confectionery does not sit alone. It is part of a broader Gearmelt point-of-interest cluster on top of a hill in the Drywind Valley, made up of four total POIs that are worth sweeping together for mid-game resources.3737Gearmelt Confectionery itself, which unlocks the Delician Wine Production dispatch above.The Cacao Farm, which unlocks a dispatch that mirrors the confectionery food bump but rewards cacao stock instead of wine. See the Cacao article for a quick summary.Two additional Gearmelt-themed points of interest on the same hilltop that each add their own dispatch entries and story beats, rounding out the cluster as a one-trip liberation target.3939Because all four sites sit close together on the same hilltop in Drywind Valley, the most efficient approach is to liberate the entire cluster in a single run rather than piecemeal. Once all four locations are cleared, their dispatch missions unlock together and can be slotted into rotation immediately.4141Related Pages4343For a complete list of all factions in Crimson Desert, see the Factions overview page.
