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 Path of Exile 1, now supports PoE 2. Here's how to utilize it.

Setting Up FilterBlade in Path of Exile 2

Access the FilterBlade website.
Choose PoE 2.
The NeverSink filter will be selected by default.
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 updates the filter in your PoE 2 account, reflecting author changes.
- Download: Saves the filter to your PC, allowing you to download various 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 filter is now active.

Choosing the Right Strictness Level

The NeverSink preset 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 items with low potential or limited value.	Act 4-6
Strict	Hides most items without high turnover.	Early Mapping (Waystone Tiers 1-6)
Very Strict	Hides low-value rares, crafting bases, and Waystone Tiers 1-6.	Mid to late mapping (Waystone Tiers 7+)
Uber Strict	Hides almost all non-tiered rares and crafting bases; highlights currency. Hides Waystones Tiers 1-13.	Late mapping (Waystone Tiers 14+)
Uber Plus Strict	Hides almost everything except valuable currency and high-return items. Hides Waystones Tiers 1-14.	Ultra endgame mapping (Waystone Tiers 15-18)

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 will be minimized depending on the strictness level.

Customizing Your FilterBlade 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 modify its appearance and preview its in-game sound.

Changing Colors and Sounds:

Modify colors and sounds individually or globally using the "Styles" tab. You can use custom sounds (.mp3) or community-provided sounds. Experiment freely; you can always reset your changes. Explore community-created Modules for pre-made visual and auditory adjustments.
