Mastering Path of Exile 2's Endgame: A Guide to FilterBlade Loot Filters

For serious Path of Exile 2 endgame players, a well-configured loot filter is essential. It minimizes screen clutter, streamlines gameplay, and focuses attention on valuable items. FilterBlade, the popular filter manager from PoE 1, now supports PoE 2. This guide explains how to use it effectively.

How to Set Up FilterBlade Loot Filters in Path of Exile 2

2. Choose PoE 2.
3. The NeverSink filter will be selected by default.
4. Adjust the Strictness level using the slider (explained below).
5. Go to the "Export to PoE" tab (top right).
6. Name your filter.
7. Click "Sync" or "Download":
   • Sync: Automatically loads the filter to your PoE 2 account, updating automatically with author changes.

Which Loot Filter Strictness Should You Choose?

NeverSink's FilterBlade offers seven strictness levels:

For returning players, start with Semi-Strict. Soft and Regular are for new league starts. Pressing ALT (PC) reveals hidden items, but their names are minimized for easier item pickup.

How to Customize FilterBlade Loot Filter in PoE 2

FilterBlade's strength lies in its easy customization without code editing.

Using the Customize Tab

The "Customize" tab (next to "Overview") lets you modify any item drop. Search for an item (e.g., "Divine Orb"), and adjust its appearance. Click the in-game showcase icon to preview sounds.

Changing Colors and Sounds

Customize individual items or use the "Styles" tab for filter-wide color and sound changes. You can add custom sounds (.mp3) or use community sounds. Experiment freely; you can always reset changes. Community-made modules offer pre-built visual and auditory adjustments.
