Catch a server the day it resets — untouched map, every base spot open,
everyone starting from nothing. Track upcoming ASA wipes, see which servers just went
fresh, and find out when ARK servers actually wipe.
There is no single ASA wipe schedule, which is why this page exists. A wipe is a full server
reset: every base, tame, character and item on that server is deleted and the map starts over
from nothing. Whether that happens to you depends entirely on which server you are playing on.
Official servers
Official ARK: Survival Ascended servers do not run on a recurring wipe cycle you can plan
around. Studio Wildcard occasionally retires or resets clusters — when a legacy cluster is
sunset, or when a seasonal event such as Conquest ends — but there is no routine schedule.
For most players on official, a wipe is a rare announced event rather than a monthly rhythm.
Unofficial servers
Unofficial servers wipe whenever their owner decides, and the variation is enormous:
Boosted PvP commonly wipes every two to four weeks, to reset the power
balance before established tribes lock the map down.
Seasonal PvP runs longer cycles, often two to three months, ending in a
final event before the reset.
PvE and roleplay servers frequently never wipe at all — the whole appeal
is that your base survives.
This is the single most important thing to check before you commit to a server, and the
thing most server lists do not tell you. Spending a week building on a cluster that resets
on Friday is a miserable way to learn the schedule.
How we know a wipe is coming
Wipes on this calendar come from two sources, and we label which is which rather than
blending them:
Owner-confirmed. A verified server owner added the schedule themselves.
These have an exact time, a live countdown, and usually a note on what is changing.
Detected. Parsed from date tags in the server name, the convention many
unofficial hosts use. These give a date but never a time, so they show as a day rather than
a countdown.
Owner-confirmed entries are shown first, because they are the only ones we can actually
vouch for.
Finding a fresh start
If you want to join on day one, the Fresh starts list above shows
servers that reset within the last 30 days, newest first — untouched map, every base
location still open, everyone on equal footing. From there you can narrow by map, rates and
PvP or PvE on the full ASA server list, or check
live player trends to see where people are actually playing.
Common questions
When do ARK: Survival Ascended servers wipe?
There is no single ASA wipe schedule. Official servers do not run on a fixed public wipe cycle, while unofficial servers wipe whenever their owner decides — commonly monthly, every two weeks, or at the start of a new season. This calendar tracks the ones we can confirm, so the honest answer for any specific server is whatever its own schedule says.
Do official ARK: Survival Ascended servers wipe?
Not on a recurring schedule you can plan around. Studio Wildcard occasionally retires or resets clusters, for example when a legacy cluster is sunset or a seasonal event such as Conquest ends, but official servers are not wiped on a routine cycle the way many unofficial PvP servers are.
How often do unofficial ASA servers wipe?
It varies enormously. Boosted PvP servers often wipe every two to four weeks to keep the map competitive and stop established tribes from running away with it. PvE and roleplay servers frequently never wipe at all. Always check a server's stated schedule before investing time in a base.
How do I find an ARK server that just wiped?
Use the "Fresh starts" section on this page. It lists servers that reset within the last 30 days, newest first, which is when the map is untouched and every base location is still open. You can also filter the full server list by map and by PvP or PvE.
How do you know when a server is going to wipe?
Two ways, and we label which is which. Owner-confirmed wipes come from verified server owners who added their schedule directly, and those carry an exact time and a live countdown. Detected wipes are parsed from date tags in server names, which give a date but never a time, so they are shown as a day rather than a countdown.
