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. Loot filters dramatically improve gameplay by minimizing screen clutter and focusing attention on valuable items. FilterBlade, the popular filter manager from PoE 1, now supports PoE 2. This guide explains how to use it.
Setting Up FilterBlade in Path of Exile 2
- Navigate to the FilterBlade website.
- Select "PoE 2."
- The default NeverSink filter will be selected.
- 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 uploads 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, go 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.
Choosing the Right Strictness Level
NeverSink's FilterBlade offers seven strictness levels:
| Strictness | Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Soft | Highlights valuable items and materials; hides nothing. | Act 1-2 |
| Regular | Hides useless items with no crafting potential or sale value. | Act 3 |
| Semi-Strict | Hides low-potential/limited-value items. | Act 4-6 |
| Strict | Hides most items without high turnover. | Early Mapping (Waystone 1-6) |
| Very Strict | Hides low-value rares and crafting bases; hides Waystones 1-6. | Mid-late Mapping (Waystone 7+) |
| Uber Strict | Hides almost all non-tiered rares and bases; highlights high-value currency; hides Waystones 1-13. | Late Mapping (Waystone 14+) |
| Uber Plus Strict | Hides nearly everything except high-value currency and rares/uniques; hides Waystones 1-14. | Ultra Endgame (Waystone 15-18) |
For returning players, Semi-Strict is a good starting point. Soft and Regular are ideal for fresh league starts. Hidden items are revealed by pressing ALT (PC). FilterBlade minimizes highlighted item names at higher strictness levels for easier item pickup.
Customizing Your FilterBlade Filter
FilterBlade's strength lies in its easy customization.
Using the Customize Tab:
The "Customize" tab allows granular control over individual item appearances. Search for an item (e.g., "Divine Orb") to adjust its visual and audio cues. Click the in-game showcase icon to preview sounds.
Changing Colors and Sounds:
Use the "Styles" tab for filter-wide color and sound changes (text, border, background). Individual item adjustments are made in the "Customize" tab. Sounds can be customized using the dropdown, allowing for custom .mp3 files or community-created sounds. Experiment freely; the "Reset" option is available. Explore community-made modules for pre-built visual and auditory adjustments.
