Walkthrough
Starting the Quest
Read Rhett's Poster on the Notice Board in the City of Hernand Plaza to unlock the quest. Then visit Rhett at his equipment shop. Rhett explains that he is interested in some rock fissures he has heard about and asks Kliff to mine and deliver quality iron ore.
Mining Iron Ore
Rhett provides you with a Pickaxe. Equip it by holding F2 (Left D-pad on controller) to open the equipment wheel and selecting the tool slot. The mineral deposit is located southwest of Hernand city, near the Anvil Riverside Bandit Camp. Exit the city through the southern gate and head west along the path while looking for ore nodes.
Before you can mine safely, you may need to deal with Bleed Bandits in the area around the deposit. Clear them out first, then approach the silvery rock formation. Stand in front of the ore node and press left-click (RB on controller) to swing the pickaxe and break the rock apart. You need to collect 2 iron ores to satisfy the quest requirement.
There is a shortcut to reach the deposit by jumping down from a ledge near the path, though this causes minor fall damage. Alternatively, take the longer route around to avoid injury.
Delivering the Iron Ore
Importantly, you do not return the iron ore to Rhett himself. Instead, deliver it to Rhett's Apprentice, who is stationed at the Equinsher Saddlery southeast of the mining area, near the river south of Hernand. The apprentice's location is marked on your map through the quest tracker. You can find it by opening your Journal, navigating to Faction Quest, then Hernand Commissions.

Tips
The Pickaxe is permanent and can be used to mine ore deposits anywhere in Pywel. Iron is one of the most common materials, found throughout the world.
Watch out for the Bleed Bandits near the deposit. They can interrupt your mining if you do not clear them first.
The delivery location (Rhett's Apprentice at the Saddlery) is south of the mining spot, not back in Hernand. Check your quest tracker if you get lost.
Maximizing Trust with Hernand merchants unlocks new shop items, trade agreements, and other advantages.
Iron ore becomes an important crafting resource later in the game. The mining spots refresh over time, so remember this location for future gathering runs.
