For serious Path of Exile 2 endgame players, a well-configured loot filter is essential. Loot filters significantly reduce screen clutter, making mapping more manageable and focusing your attention on valuable items. FilterBlade, the popular filter manager from PoE 1, now supports PoE 2. This guide details its use.

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 every item drop. 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 even add custom sounds (.mp3). Experiment freely; the "Reset" option is available. Community-created modules offer pre-made visual and auditory adjustments.
