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, improves gameplay fluidity, and focuses attention on valuable items. FilterBlade, the popular filter manager from PoE 1, now supports PoE 2. This guide explains its use.

Setting Up FilterBlade in Path of Exile 2

1. Access the FilterBlade website.
2. Choose PoE 2.
3. The NeverSink filter is the default.
4. Adjust the strictness level using the slider (explained below).
5. Go to the "Export to PoE" tab (top right).
6. Name your filter.
7. Click "Sync" or "Download":
   • Sync: Automatically uploads the filter to your PoE 2 account, updating automatically with author changes.

Choosing the Right Strictness Level

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. The ALT key reveals hidden items, often minimizing their on-screen size for easier navigation.

Customizing Your FilterBlade Filter

FilterBlade's strength lies in its easy customization.

Using the Customize Tab:

The "Customize" tab lets you modify individual item appearances. Search for an item (e.g., "Divine Orb"), adjust its visual settings, and preview its in-game sound using the showcase icon.

Changing Colors and Sounds:

The "Styles" tab allows filter-wide color and sound adjustments. Change text, borders, backgrounds, and audio cues. Individual item adjustments are done in the "Customize" tab. For sounds, use the dropdown, adding custom .mp3 files or selecting from community sounds. Experiment freely; the "Reset" option is always available. Community-created Modules offer pre-made visual and auditory modifications.
