How do I transfer items between servers in ARK?

ARK: Survival Evolved, a popular survival game, allows players to transfer items between servers, but there are certain conditions and restrictions to be aware of. In this article, we will guide you through the process of transferring items between servers in ARK, highlighting the most important information and tips to help you succeed.

Transferring Items using the Ark Data Tab

To transfer items between servers, you need to use the Ark Data tab, which can be found on the left side of your screen. Here, you can upload up to 50 items that you want to transfer to another server. Please note that not all items can be transferred, including boss heads, certain tributes, and elements.

Restrictions on Transferring Items

Before transferring items, make sure to check the restrictions:

• No Boss Heads: You cannot transfer boss heads, including Chalk Golem (Valguero ARK only) and Polar Bear (Valguero ARK only, tameable at said map within Blue Obelisk).
• No Certain Tributes: Some tributes are not transferable.
• No Elements: Elements, such as Artifact of the Lost, cannot be transferred.

Transferring Cryopods

When transferring Cryopods, keep in mind:

• Transferring Cryopods Resets the Timer: When transferring Cryopods to another server, the timer resets, and the dinosaur will not retain any pending experience points.
• Unpod the Dinosaur: You must unpod the dinosaur to obtain the experience points before transferring it to another server.

Tek Transmitters and Generators

To use Tek Transmitters and Generators, consider the following:

• 5 Transmitters Required: You need 5 transmitter devices to get full functionality.
• 1 Element or 100 Element Shard per 18 hours: The Tek Generator uses 1 Element or 100 Element Shard every 18 hours for the radius 1.0, plus 0.33 for each additional unit of radius.
• Calculating Element Consumption: You can calculate the element consumption by dividing the total distance between the Tek Generator and the outer edge of the desired range by 2.25.

Conclusion

Transferring items between servers in ARK: Survival Evolved requires attention to specific conditions and restrictions. By following the guidelines outlined in this article, you can successfully transfer items, including Cryopods and Tek Transmitters and Generators, between servers.
