ARK: Survival Evolved Player Stats Per Level – Server Guide

ARK Player Stats Per Level – Introduction

In ARK Server Hosting, you’ll find yourself on an island inhabited by dangerous creatures and dinosaurs. There, you’ll have to survive by collecting resources, creating items such as weapons or armor, and building a shelter. As you explore the island, you’ll notice that your character levels up regularly, allowing you to learn new recipes and improve your character. The rate at which your character stats improves per level is set by the game and can often lead to a grind to improve them. Thankfully, there is an option to adjust the ARK player stats per level.
 
ARK: Survival Evolved features all sorts of different player stats that can be edited, including health, stamina, oxygen, food, water, and more. Every one of these stat multipliers can be adjusted individually, per level, for your server players. This process can appear complicated, however, in this guide, we will break down the steps to adjust these level multipliers on your own ARK server!

Setting up the PerLevelStatsMultiplier Options

With the perlevelstatsmultiplier option, it’s important to know that this setting can work for more than just your server players. You can also adjust the stats of tamed and wild dinosaurs and creatures on your ARK game server. To do this, we’ll start with the three different options for player and dinosaur stat multipliers:

• PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[0]=1
• PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[0]=1
• PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[0]=1

Inside these options, “[0]” will need to be changed to the stat attribute you wish to manipulate. These stats range from health as 0 to crafting speed multiplier as 11. In addition, you’ll need to change the value “=1” to the multiplier you’d like to set for that level. Below, you can find a chart of the different attributes, their IDs, and their default multiplier values.

Game.ini Stats Multipliers Example

Since technically the stat attributes 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11 cannot be increased, below is an example of all of the usable player, tamed dinosaur, and wild dinosaur per level stat multipliers, set to 1. These can be copied and pasted into your ARK server’s Game.ini, where you can then edit each value to fit your server.

Change Your ARK Server Difficulty in a New Way

When you adjust the ARK player stats per level on your server, you’re not just changing how fast players can earn better stats. In addition, you’re also creating an easier or harder experience for the players on your server. This means you can design your server to be more hardcore, or easier, depending on the way you and your friends prefer to play. See how your adventure changes when you set custom per level stats for you and your friends on your ARK server!
