Frequently Asked Questions

When was the Runestone data last updated?

The Runestone entry was last verified on GameServersCodex on June 28, 2026. We track the live ARK: ASA build, so the IDs and commands here reflect the current patch.

What do the numbers in the Runestone spawn command mean?

In cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone 1 0 0, the code identifies the Runestone, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Runestone.

How do I open the console to spawn the Runestone?

On PC, press Tab to open the admin console, paste the command, and press Enter. On Xbox and PlayStation, open the pause menu and use the on-screen command bar. Then drop in the Runestone spawn code from this page.

What is the GFI code for the Runestone?

The GFI code for the Runestone is PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.

How do I spawn a higher-quality Runestone?

The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Runestone. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.

What is the Runestone used for?

The Runestone is a resource item obtained as a drop from apex creatures or high-tier bosses. It serves as a crafting ingredient and engram unlock requirement for endgame content, making it valuable for progression on servers where bosses are regularly farmed.

What's the full blueprint path of the Runestone?

The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/FjordurOfficial/Assets/CoreBlueprints/Items/PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone.PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/FjordurOfficial/Assets/CoreBlueprints/Items/PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone.PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

How do I spawn the Runestone in ARK: Survival Ascended?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone 1 0 0. That gives you one Runestone instantly. The three numbers after the code are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag. Raise the first to spawn a stack, or set the last to 1 to receive it as a blueprint instead of a finished item. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.

Where can I copy the Runestone spawn command?

Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Runestone command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.

Is the Runestone spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Runestone's class name, GFI code, item ID, and blueprint path are reproduced exactly from the live game data and re-checked each patch, so you can copy them straight into your console.

Is the Runestone blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/FjordurOfficial/Assets/CoreBlueprints/Items/PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone.PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.

Can I get the Runestone without spawning it?

Yes. The Runestone can also be obtained through normal ARK: Survival Ascended progression. Admins usually spawn it for speed when testing, running events, or outfitting players, which is what the commands on this page are for.

Can I spawn the Runestone over RCON or on a dedicated server?

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone 1 0 0. If your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat". It works the same on hosted, self-hosted, and RCON setups.

Does the Runestone spawn command work in single-player and multiplayer?

Yes, the command is identical in both. Single-player has cheats enabled by default; multiplayer just requires an admin login first. The Runestone then spawns the same way.

How do I spawn the Runestone as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone 1 0 1. The last number is the blueprint flag, where 0 gives the crafted item and 1 gives its blueprint (for craftable items; on items with no blueprint the flag is simply ignored).

How do I spawn multiple Runestone at once?

Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Runestone. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.

Why isn't my Runestone spawn command working?

Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.

What is the Runestone class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Runestone by its class PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone_C or GFI PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

What is the class name for the Runestone?

The class name for the Runestone is PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone_C. Class names end in _C and identify the item's blueprint at runtime, which makes them useful for spawn tools, mods, and RCON macros.

What does the Runestone do in ARK: Survival Ascended?

An apex drop resource item used in high-end crafting and engram unlocks, spawnable via GFI code.

What items are related to the Runestone?

See the Related section at the bottom of this page for items commonly used alongside the Runestone, or open Browse Games to explore the full ARK: Survival Ascended database.

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Runestone?

In single-player, cheats are on by default. On a dedicated or hosted server, log in as admin first with enablecheats <AdminPassword>, then run the Runestone spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

What's the difference between the Runestone GFI code and its blueprint path?

The GFI code PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/FjordurOfficial/Assets/CoreBlueprints/Items/PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone.PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Runestone.

Which game is the Runestone from?

The Runestone is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.

How do I add the Runestone to a starter kit or loadout?

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Runestone 1 0 0 in your server's kit or spawn script, and set the quantity argument to hand out multiples. Pair it with other item commands from the Codex to build a full loadout.
