For serious Path of Exile 2 endgame players, a well-configured loot filter is essential.

This guide explains its use.

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

2. Select "PoE 2."
3. The default NeverSink filter will be selected.
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" (bottom right):

Which Loot Filter Strictness Should You Choose?

NeverSink's FilterBlade offers seven strictness levels:

For returning players, start with Semi-Strict. Soft and Regular are for fresh league starts. Pressing ALT (PC) reveals hidden items, often minimizing their on-screen size for easier item pickup.

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 allows granular control over individual item drops. Search for an item (e.g., "Divine Orb") to access its customization options, including visual and audio previews.

Changing Colors and Sounds

Customize individual items or use the "Styles" tab for filter-wide changes to text, borders, backgrounds, and sounds. You can use custom .mp3 sounds or choose from community-created options. Experiment freely; the "Reset" option is always available. Explore community-made modules for pre-built visual and auditory adjustments.
