Path of Exile 2 loot filters significantly enhance gameplay, especially during periods of high item drops. They declutter the screen while highlighting valuable items, streamlining the looting process. While using a controller or playing on console might seem to complicate this, PlayStation and Xbox players can utilize filters just like PC users. Here's a concise guide to setting them up.

How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts

To use loot filters on PoE 2's console versions, you must link your console account to your Path of Exile account through the Path of Exile 1 website. Follow these steps:

  1. Access the Path of Exile website and log in.
  2. Locate your account name in the upper-left corner and click it.
  3. Select "Manage Account" from the right-hand side, below your profile information.
  4. Under "Secondary Login," click "Connect" for either PlayStation or Xbox.

After initiating the connection, you'll be prompted to log in to your existing PlayStation or Xbox account. Complete the process to link your accounts.

Finding and Using Loot Filters

With accounts linked, return to your website profile page and click the "Item Filters" button. Click the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink to access a new tab displaying available filters.

Select "PoE 2" from the drop-down menu above the filter list. Choose your preferred filter and click "Follow." For new players, NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters provide a good starting point.

Finally, with a filter followed, open the game and navigate to the Options menu. Under the "Game" tab, select the "Item Filter" option. Your chosen filter should appear in the drop-down; select and save it. Items will now display with varied labels, colors, or sound effects based on your filter.
