¶ Player Guide
Welcome! This guide will help you link your Discord account to your Ark character so you can use features like the shop, stat tracking, and more.
Having trouble? Check the FAQ for solutions to common issues, or see the Glossary for unfamiliar terms.
¶ 🔗 Get Set Up in 2 Steps
Step 1: Link your Discord account. Type +register <YourDiscord> IN-GAME in global chat. For example, if your Discord username is vertyco, type +register vertyco in-game.
Linked! Run
+playerstatsin Discord to see your in-game player.
+registeralso works from Discord, but only for ASE servers. On ASA, register in-game.
Step 2: Register your Specimen #. Some commands (+kit, +payday, +imstuck) and the shop need to know which character you are. Your Specimen # is the number on your implant. Set it with:
+specimen <YourSpecimenNumber>in-game.
Tip:+registerand+implantcan also set your Specimen #.
Once both are done, you can use +rshop to buy items and the in-game commands below.
¶ 💰 How Currency Works
The shop runs on a virtual currency your admins configure. You earn it by:
+payday- claim a reward every X hours (if your admins enabled it).- Playtime - admins can hand out currency for time spent on the server.
- Admin rewards - events, bonuses, or supporter perks set by the server.
You spend it in the shop with +rshop (browse) or +quickbuy <item> (buy directly). Check what you have and your history with +shopstats.
¶ Xbox/PC Crossplay
If the server you play on is hosted via Microsoft store version and has a host Gamertag, you can make the host Gamertag add you as a friend so that you can easily join its session.
Simply run +addme and select a server, the host Gamertag for that map will add you as a friend, you can add it back and should then be able to go to its profile page and click Join Game
The server owner needs to authenticate their host gamertags with the Xbox API for this to work
