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

- Select PoE 2.
- The default NeverSink filter will be selected.
- Adjust the Strictness level using the slider (explained below).
- Go to the "Export to PoE" tab.
- Name your filter.
- Click "Sync" or "Download":
- Sync: Automatically loads the filter to your PoE 2 account, updating automatically.

- 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.
Which Loot Filter Strictness Should You Choose?
NeverSink's FilterBlade offers seven strictness levels:
| Strictness | Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Soft | Highlights valuable materials and items; hides nothing. | Act 1-2 |
| Regular | Hides only useless items. | Act 3 |
| Semi-Strict | Hides low-potential/limited-value items. | Act 4-6 |
| Strict | Hides most items without high turnover. | Early Mapping (Waystone 1-6) |
| Very Strict | Hides low-value rares and crafting bases; hides Waystone 1-6. | Mid-late Mapping (Waystone 7+) |
| Uber Strict | Hides almost all non-tiered rares and bases; highlights top currency. | Late Mapping (Waystone 14+) |
| Uber Plus Strict | Hides almost everything except valuable currency and high-return items. | Ultra Endgame (Waystone 15-18) |
For returning players, Semi-Strict is a good starting point. Soft and Regular are best for fresh league starts. Pressing ALT (PC) highlights hidden items, though their names are minimized for convenience.
How to Customize FilterBlade Loot Filter in PoE 2
FilterBlade's strength lies in its easy customization.
Using the Customize Tab
The "Customize" tab lets you modify almost every item drop. Search for an item (e.g., "Divine Orb") to easily find its settings. Preview in-game sounds using the showcase icon.
Changing Colors and Sounds
Change colors and sounds individually in the "Customize" tab or globally in the "Styles" tab. You can even add custom sounds (.mp3). Experiment with community-made Modules for pre-built visual and auditory changes.
