All ARK Survival Ascended Explorer Note locations in The Island

Explorer Notes are collectible items in ARK Survival Ascended and can be categorized into two types: notes left behind by the other survivors and animal Dossiers. Discovering new notes while exploring the world will grant you 100 XP and give you a buff that doubles your experience gain for 10 minutes.

It is recommended that players collect these notes on a tamed creature, as it will also receive the XP and the buff. Moreover, acquiring two notes within a short time increases the duration of the buff rather than resetting it.

This article will list all Explorer Notes and Dossiers in ARK Survival Ascended.

The Island has always been the default map of the game, and so by that virtue it's the most popular across both ASA and ASE. More maps are added a few times a year, each with their own set of hidden explorer note locations. Keep an eye on our ARK Survival Ascended roadmap to see what's been released and what's coming next.
