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 its use.

Which Loot Filter Strictness Should You Choose?

NeverSink's FilterBlade offers seven strictness levels:

For returning players, Semi-Strict is a good starting point. Soft and Regular are ideal for fresh league starts. Pressing ALT (PC) reveals hidden items, though their names may be minimized depending on strictness.

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 individual item appearances. Search for an item (e.g., "Divine Orb") to access its customization options, including visual representation and in-game sound previews ().

Changing Colors and Sounds

Customize individual items or use the "Styles" tab for filter-wide changes to text, borders, backgrounds, and sound effects. You can import custom sounds (.mp3) or use community-created sounds. Experiment freely; the "Reset" option is always available. Explore community-made Modules for pre-built visual or auditory modifications.
