Ark extinction explorer notes locations
Explorer notes are left by previous survivors throughout the map. Because your dino receives both the XP and the effect when you collect them while riding it, doing so is advised. Therefore, the prize for discovering them is doubled. If you discover two Notes quickly, the effect time is increased to the current one rather than being reset.
Explorer notes can also be named XP boosters. Whenever a player finds a single note he is rewarded with 100 XP and this is an effect that usually ends in 10 minutes. Apart from all these advantages, the biggest advantage of these explorer notes is that if a player collects all types of explorer notes on the particular map this will unlock 10 levels for your character.
