Path of Exile 2: How to Use FilterBlade

Quick Links

Serious Path of Exile 2 endgame players need a good loot filter. They drastically reduce screen clutter, making mapping manageable and focusing your attention on valuable items. FilterBlade, the popular Path of Exile 1 filter manager, now supports PoE 2. Here's how to use it.

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


  1. Go to the FilterBlade website.
  2. Choose PoE 2.
  3. The default NeverSink filter will be selected.
  4. Adjust the Strictness slider (explained below).
  5. Go to the "Export to PoE" tab.
  6. Name your filter.
  7. Click "Sync" or "Download":
    • Sync: Automatically updates your PoE 2 filter with FilterBlade changes.
    • Download: Downloads the filter to your PC. Useful for comparing different strictness levels.
  8. In PoE 2, go to Options -> Game.
    • If you synced, select your FilterBlade filter from the Item Filter dropdown.
    • If you downloaded, use the folder icon to locate your downloaded filter.

That's it! Your FilterBlade filter is ready.

Which Loot Filter Strictness Should You Choose?


NeverSink's FilterBlade offers seven strictness levels. Choosing the right one is crucial, as it determines what items you see. You can always customize later, but starting with an appropriate level prevents issues.

StrictnessEffectBest For
SoftHighlights valuable items and materials only.Act 1-2
RegularHides only useless items.Act 3
Semi-StrictHides low-potential/value items.Act 4-6
StrictHides most low-turnover items.Early Mapping (Waystone 1-6)
Very StrictHides low-value rares and crafting bases.Mid-late Mapping (Waystone 7+)
Uber StrictHides almost all non-tiered rares.Late Mapping (Waystone 14+)
Uber Plus StrictHides nearly everything except high-value items.Ultra Endgame (Waystone 15-18)

For second or third playthroughs, start with Semi-Strict. Soft and Regular are for fresh league starts.

Pressing ALT (PC) highlights hidden items. FilterBlade reduces the size of highlighted items depending on strictness, making them less visually intrusive.

How to Customize FilterBlade Loot Filter in PoE 2


FilterBlade's strength is its easy customization without code editing. You can modify almost anything.

Using the Customize Tab

The "Customize" tab lets you modify every item drop. Sections and subsections organize items, allowing for precise adjustments. For example, to change a Divine Orb's appearance, search for "Divine Orb," and adjust its settings. Click the in-game showcase icon to preview sounds.

Changing Colors and Sounds

The "Styles" tab lets you change filter-wide text, border, background colors, and sounds. Individual item adjustments are in the "Customize" tab. You can use custom .mp3 sounds or community-created sounds. Experiment freely; you can always reset.

Explore community-made Modules for pre-built visual or auditory changes.
