Sam Guide - Schedule, Gifts and Where to Find Her

FAQ

Where does Sam live in Elderfield?
Greystone Estates, Apartment 1, first floor. During the Childhood Fear task she waits around Greystone Estates instead of following her normal rotation.
What are Sam's loved gifts?
Pale Empress Moth, Shadewing Moth, Beating Heart, Soul Fruit, Soul Stew, Voidbloom, Void Crystal Bar, Void Dinner, Eldersprout Pizza, Aged Cheese of any kind, and the soulfruit wine and jelly family. She also likes Pizza, Bubble-Tea and Aged Goat Cheese.
What should I never give Sam?
The fish basket — Ghost Flounder, Fog Eel, Slimefish, Mud Perch, Rock-Dweller, Rot Puffer, Stalktopus, and even Godscale and Godflesh — plus the pumpkin set (Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Muffin, Harvest Stew) and Bone Honey. Skip both baskets entirely.

Sam is a main villager of Greystone Estates whose day splits between Town and the Lakefront — and whose gift table rewards the bug-catching and Void pipelines. This page carries her verified schedule, reactions, and task tie-ins.

Sam is the moth economy’s best customer: both the Pale Empress Moth and the Shadewing Moth are loved. Her Void-heavy loves (Void Crystal Bar, Void Dinner, Voidbloom) make her the endgame friendship sink — everything else is bridge items. Two clauses matter: the anti-pumpkin rule (gifts that work for Tanner backfire on her, so split your harvest accordingly — farming guide) and the anti-fish rule, which runs all the way to hating Godscale and Godflesh — the Weird Fish drops that Molly and Edwin love go to waste on Sam.

Sam’s Task Ties

The Childhood Fear chain (Dan’s Greystone rooftop boss, Mr. Wiggles) locks Sam near Greystone while it runs. Mr. Wiggles is a 350 HP no-weakness stat check — see the combat guide boss table before committing. For her full ranking among gift targets, see the gift guide or her neighbors Ellie and Edwin.
