DailyClaim

A free reward every day, and a streak that keeps them coming back.

DailyClaim hands your players a free reward every day and builds a login streak that pays out more the longer they keep coming back to your ARK server.

A daily reward is the cheapest way to bring players back, and this one runs itself. DailyClaim hands out points once a day and turns every claim into a growing streak, so the people who keep showing up are the ones who earn the most. Miss a night and a grace window saves the streak, because losing a month of logins over one late shift feels rotten. Milestones, a bonus weekday and a lucky roll keep it from going stale.

Supported Features

• One command a day: a player types one word and picks up their points. That is the whole job.
• A streak that grows: every day in a row adds to their streak, and a longer streak pays out more.
• A grace window: claim inside the window and the streak lives, so one missed evening does not wipe out a month of turning up.
• A cap on the streak bonus: each streak day adds points up to a limit you set, so a long streak pays well without printing points forever.
• Milestone payouts: big one time bonuses at the streak days you choose, each with a shout across the server and a post to Discord.
• A bonus weekday: pick a day of the week that multiplies the reward, like double points every Sunday.
• A lucky roll: every claim carries a small chance of a bonus, and when it hits the whole server hears about it.
• VIP tiers: give a Permissions group a reward multiplier and a shorter wait, which is an easy perk to sell.
• A streak leaderboard: one command shows the longest streaks on the server, so keeping a streak becomes a competition.
• Points with or without a shop: I pay ArkShop points when it is loaded, and keep my own point count when it is not.
• Discord embeds: post the big moments to a webhook, or every single claim if that is what you want.
• Speaks your players' language: pick a language in the config and every line of mine comes from a plain text file you can edit, so the daily reward reads right for the people on your server.

Console & RCON Commands

Command	What It Does	Where
DailyClaim.Reload	Read config.json again with the server still running.	Both
DailyClaim.Reset <eos>	Reset one player's streak and claim timer by their EOS id.	Console
DailyClaim.TestDiscord	Send a test embed to your Discord webhook.	Console

Player Commands

The names live in config.json, so you can rename any of them or switch one off.

Command	What It Does
/daily	Claim today's reward and grow your streak.
/dailyinfo	Show your streak and how long until the next claim.
/dailytop	See the longest daily streaks on the server.

Permissions

Node	What It Unlocks
DailyClaim.Use	Lets a player claim the daily reward.
DailyClaim.VIP	Gives that group a reward multiplier and a shorter wait between claims.

Permissions is optional. Without it the claim node fails open, so everybody may claim and no VIP tier applies. Install it when you want to gate the claim or sell a multiplier to a group.

Config

To see every configuration option, visit our docs. To edit your config files the easy way, open our configuration editor.

Requirements

• AsaApi v2.01 or newer
• A Windows server running ArkAscendedServer through the AsaApi loader
• ArkShop or WShop (optional, and without a shop I hold the point totals myself)
• Permissions (optional, works without it, only needed for the claim gate and VIP tiers)
• A Discord webhook (optional, works without it)

Installation

1. Unzip the download so you have a DailyClaim folder.
2. Put that folder in ArkApi/Plugins/ and leave its name alone, because the loader only finds a plugin when the folder carries the same name as the DLL.
3. Open DailyClaim/config.json and set your points, your streak rules and your bonus weekday.
4. Start the server again through AsaApiLoader.exe.
5. Watch ArkApi.log for the loaded line, then type /daily in game to see it pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does DailyClaim do?

DailyClaim gives every player a free reward once a day and keeps a login streak for them. Each day in a row pays a little more, milestone days pay a lot more, and a leaderboard shows off the longest streaks on your server.

How do I install DailyClaim?

Unzip the download and put the whole DailyClaim folder into ArkApi/Plugins/, keeping the folder name so it matches the DLL. Set your points and streak rules in config.json, then restart the server through the AsaApi loader and watch ArkApi.log for the loaded line.

What happens when a player misses a day?

Nothing bad straight away. The grace window, 48 hours out of the box, gives them a full extra day to claim before the streak drops back to one. One busy evening will not undo a month of logging in.

Does it still pay without ArkShop?

Yes. DailyClaim pays real shop points through ArkShop or through WShop, whichever one your server runs, and one line in the config names it. With no shop at all I keep my own point count for every player and hand the totals over the first time a shop shows up.

How big can the reward get?

You set every number. Out of the box a claim pays 250 points, the streak adds 25 a day up to a 500 point cap, milestones at day 7, 30 and 100 pay 1000, 5000 and 25000 on top, and Sunday doubles the whole lot. A VIP multiplier can stack on top of that.

Do I have to restart to change a setting?

No. Edit config.json, then run DailyClaim.Reload from the console or over RCON, and the new numbers apply straight away.

Was any AI content used in the making of this?

The source code itself was fully created by myself. I do use ChatGPT occasionally to generate product images, and I do use ChatGPT to generate the website descriptions. I do this because I don't speak native English perfectly. I am natively from Sweden, so I use GPT to help translate and write product descriptions. I also will sometimes use GPT to write better English logs. Majority of my Free plugins are open source, so you can review the code yourself and freely fork and edit it to your liking.
