Leveling up in ARK: Survival Ascended is a natural but essential process that allows the player to unlock stronger equipment, weaponry, saddles, building blocks, and earn points to level stats. In ARK: Survival Ascended, the amount of experience necessary to get from one level to another is exponential, meaning the experience required to get from level 1 to level 60 is less than the experience required to get from level 90 to level 100.
