Wooden Ladder — Detailed Guide
Getting up with wood
The Wooden Ladder gives survivors in ARK: Survival Evolved a way to reach higher places, much like a 
Wooden Staircase does, and the 
Metal Ladder is its upgraded version. The ARK Wiki gives this description: "A simple wooden ladder used to climb up or down tall structures. Can also be used to extend existing ladders." In other words, one ladder can lengthen another.
Placing and climbing
- Where it fits: on the side of a structure, beneath a Hatchframe, or along a stretch of natural terrain. Fixed to the side of a Platform Saddle, it makes climbing onto that saddle easy.
- Front or back: facing the front, the use button starts the climb; facing the back, all you can do is demolish it.
- Quirks: the wiki warns that ladders can be buggy, so climbing and stepping off do not always go smoothly, especially in combination with trapdoors.
Crafting and loot
The engram unlocks at level 13 for 6 engram points. One ladder takes 3 seconds to craft and gives 0.5 XP, and the cost is low:
- 7
Thatch - 4
Wood (
Fungal Wood also works) - 4
Fiber
Ladders weigh 4 each and stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. They turn up in loot as well, with 56 crate types that can contain one, including Aberration Green, Astraeos Blue and Fjordur Green. Our records list 12 maps for the ladder. Being wooden, it is safe from bare hands and stone tools.
