Path of Exile 2 loot filters significantly enhance gameplay, particularly during periods of high item drops. They declutter the screen while highlighting valuable items, streamlining the looting process. While using a controller or playing on console might seem to complicate things, PlayStation and Xbox players can utilize item filters with ease. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to setting them up.
How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts
To use loot filters on PoE 2's console versions, you must link your console account to your Path of Exile account via the Path of Exile 1 website. Here's how:
- Access the Path of Exile website and log in.
- Locate your account name (top-left).
- Select "Manage Account" (right-side, below your profile).
- Under "Secondary Login," click "Connect" for either PlayStation or Xbox.
After clicking "Connect," you'll be prompted to log in to your console account. Complete the process to link your accounts.
Finding and Using Loot Filters
With linked accounts, return to your website profile and click the "Item Filters" button (right-side). Then, click the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink. This opens a new tab displaying available filters.
Select "PoE 2" from the dropdown menu above the filter list. Choose your desired filter and click "Follow." For new players, NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters are recommended for a balanced experience.
After following a filter, open Path of Exile 2, navigate to the Options menu, then the Game tab. At the top, select the "Item Filter" option. Your chosen filter should appear in the dropdown; select it and click "Save." Your in-game items will now be categorized by labels, colors, or sound effects based on your selected filter.
