FilterBlade: The Key to Crafting a Custom PoE2 Filter

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, making mapping more manageable and focusing attention on valuable items. FilterBlade, the popular filter manager from PoE 1, now supports PoE 2. This guide explains its use.
How to Set Up FilterBlade Loot Filters in Path of Exile 2
- Access the FilterBlade website.
- Select "PoE 2."
- The default NeverSink filter will be pre-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" (bottom right):
- Sync: Automatically uploads the filter to your PoE 2 account, updating automatically with author changes.
- Download: Saves the filter to your PC, allowing you to download various 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.
Choosing the Right Loot Filter Strictness
NeverSink's FilterBlade offers seven strictness levels:
Strictness | Effect | Best For |
---|---|---|
Soft | Highlights valuable items and materials; hides nothing. | Acts 1-2 |
Regular | Hides useless items with no crafting potential or sale value. | Act 3 |
Semi-Strict | Hides low-potential/limited-value items. | Acts 4-6 |
Strict | Hides most items without high turnover. | Early Mapping (Waystones 1-6) |
Very Strict | Hides low-value rares and crafting bases; hides Waystones 1-6. | Mid-late Mapping (Waystones 7+) |
Uber Strict | Hides almost all non-tiered rares and bases; highlights high-value currency; hides Waystones 1-13. | Late Mapping (Waystones 14+) |
Uber Plus Strict | Hides nearly everything except valuable currency and high-return rares/uniques; hides Waystones 1-14. | Ultra Endgame (Waystones 15-18) |
For returning players, Semi-Strict is a good starting point. Soft and Regular are suitable for fresh league starts. The ALT key reveals hidden items, often minimizing their display size for easier navigation.
Customizing Your FilterBlade Loot Filter
FilterBlade's strength lies in its easy customization without code editing.
Using the Customize Tab
The "Customize" tab allows granular control over individual items. Search for an item (e.g., "Divine Orb") to adjust its appearance and preview its in-game sound using the showcase icon.
Changing Colors and Sounds
Adjust overall colors and sounds via the "Styles" tab, or customize individual items in the "Customize" tab. Sound effects can be replaced with custom .mp3 files or community sounds. Experiment freely; the "Reset" option is readily available. Community-created modules offer pre-made visual and auditory adjustments.
