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

Access the FilterBlade website.
Choose PoE 2.
The NeverSink filter will be selected by default.
Adjust the Strictness level using the slider (explained below).
Go to the "Export to PoE" tab (top right).
Name your filter.
Click "Sync" or "Download":
- Sync: Automatically loads the filter to your PoE 2 account, updating automatically with author changes.
- Download: Downloads the filter to your PC. Allows downloading multiple strictness levels for comparison.
In PoE 2, navigate to Options -> Game.
- If you synced, select the FilterBlade filter from the Item Filter dropdown.
- If you downloaded, use the folder icon to locate your downloaded filter.

Which Loot Filter Strictness Should You Choose?

NeverSink's FilterBlade offers seven strictness levels:

Strictness	Effect	Best For
Soft	Highlights valuable materials and items only. Shows everything else.	Act 1-2
Regular	Hides only useless items.	Act 3
Semi-Strict	Hides low-potential/value items.	Act 4-6
Strict	Hides most items without high turnover.	Early Mapping (Waystone Tiers 1-6)
Very Strict	Hides low-value rares and crafting bases. Hides Waystone Tiers 1-6.	Mid to late mapping (Waystone Tiers 7+)
Uber Strict	Hides almost all non-tiered rares and bases. Highlights top currency. Hides Waystones Tiers 1-13.	Late mapping (Waystone Tiers 14+)
Uber Plus Strict	Hides nearly everything except valuable currency and high-return items. Hides Waystones Tiers 1-14.	Ultra endgame mapping (Waystone Tiers 15-18)

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.
