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 drastically reduce screen clutter, making mapping manageable and focusing your attention on valuable items. FilterBlade, the popular filter manager from PoE 1, now supports PoE 2. Here's how to use it effectively.

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

Access the FilterBlade website.
Select "PoE 2" when prompted. The default NeverSink filter will be selected.
Adjust the strictness level using the slider (explained below).
Navigate to the "Export to PoE" tab (top right).
Name your filter.
Choose "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, allowing you to download 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.

Your FilterBlade loot filter is now active.

Which Loot Filter Strictness Should You Choose?

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 (Waystones Tier 1-6)
Very Strict	Hides low-value rares and crafting bases; hides Waystones Tier 1-6.	Mid to late mapping (Waystones Tier 7+)
Uber Strict	Hides almost all non-tiered rares and bases; highlights high-value currency; hides Waystones Tier 1-13.	Late mapping (Waystones Tier 14+)
Uber Plus Strict	Hides nearly everything except valuable currency and high-return items; hides Waystones Tier 1-14.	Ultra endgame mapping (Waystones Tier 15-18)

For second or third playthroughs, start with Semi-Strict. Soft and Regular are for fresh league starts. Pressing ALT (PC) reveals hidden items, but their names are minimized for easier navigation.

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 provides granular control over every item drop. Search for an item (e.g., "Divine Orb") to quickly locate its settings and modify its appearance and in-game preview.

Changing Colors and Sounds

Adjust colors and sounds individually or globally. The "Styles" tab allows filter-wide changes to text, borders, backgrounds, and audio cues. You can use custom sounds (.mp3) or community-provided sounds. Experiment freely; the "Reset" option is always available. Explore community-created Modules for pre-made visual and auditory adjustments.
