This page lists every Arkon command in one place, grouped by who uses it. Find the command, read the one-line summary, then follow the link to the guide if you need the steps.
The default prefix is +. Type <value> for a value you must give and [value] for one you may skip. Do not type the brackets.
Each command works only for the people listed in its group, and some are open to everyone. Admin and Mod are roles you pick in Discord. See Getting Started to set them.
Markers on this page:
- 🔹 needs ArkView (the free helper program that reads your Ark save file). Set it up in ArkView setup.
- 🔸 works only for Xbox / Microsoft Store ASE servers. See Xbox features.
Commands marked "also works as /command" are not listed twice: any command that has a slash version also runs with /.
Players need to link their Discord to their in-game character first. The steps are in Player Getting Started.
