Fanning Ranch is a farm in the Nomad Highlands that grows Sugar Cane. Rats now overrun its barns. Rochelle Anders, the estranged daughter of the Blacksmith, took work here repairing an old shed with her smithing tools. She needed the coin for a ride home. The farmer, sir Fanning, frightened her, so she moved her bedding into the shed and kept her guard up. The Blacksmith's search for her ends in the ruins of that shed.
Where to Find Fanning Ranch - Map Location
Fanning Ranch lies just south-east of the Nomad Highlands Ancient Spire. The Scavenger Outpost lies to the west, and a Flame Shrine and a Hidden Temple lie to the east. The rare Flightless Redtail can be seen on the plateau east of the ranch and on a detached peak to the south-west.

Quests
The Blacksmith's Family follows on from The Blacksmith's Request. After the lost parcel from Umber Hollow is recovered, it becomes clear that only Oswald Anders's daughter could have sent it. Her last known location is Fanning Ranch. One shed on the farm lies in ruins, and Rochelle's soul waits inside. Rescuing her brings her to the base as the Blacksmith Assistant, who crafts and upgrades armour and weapons.

Chests
A silver chest is hidden inside a wall on the west side of the barn that stands north of the well. Only the wall gives it away, so the west side of that barn is worth a close look.

"My Backup Plan" lies in the back right corner of the north-eastern barn. It is Rochelle's own note from the set A Quick And Simple Fix. She regrets leaving a hunting party in the Kindlewastes and wonders whether her father will even want to see her. She ends with a warning: if the farmer tries anything, she will blow the whole place up.
