Samphir-Gathering est l'un des très anciens métiers qui étaient utilisés dans des familles de génération en génération, comme le charbon de bois dans la NewForest ou le silex-knapping dans les comtés de l'est; la fascination du danger est là, et la plupart des endroits où la récolte de Samphir est cuedin sont sauvages et beaux.
