I'm a developer and I value time, comfort and automation. I also do have a knack for in-depth and complete things. I've been maintaining my filter since nearly 10 years and is arguably the most popular filter around.
Now after hundreds of hours of work the filter has been rewritten from the ground up for Path of Exile 2. It took several months to adapt our tech for PoE2, but now it's done! Not a copy, but an evolution, with new systems, improved style and advanced programing behind it.
The result is a very advanced and polished script with several strictness and style versions that suits the needs of exiles all over Wraeclast. Enjoy :).
NOTE: ALWAYS get the latest version of the filter before the start of each new PoE2 league or major update. Loading your www.FilterBlade.xyz save, will always merge your changes into the latest filter version.
High level feature overview:
"

"
FAQ - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (AND ANSWERS)
Each player has his own preferences, when it comes to sounds, chancing bases, crafting and some other aspects. The settings you see in the filter are my preferences - based on my years of experience in PoE. You may suggest changes in this thread, but it's quite unlikely that I'll implement them - if they are orientated for "your build". However, you can adjust the filter for yourself within a few minutes on www.FilterBlade.xyz.
Will you update it for league X? How often should I update?
A: I will release an update for the filter, before the start of each league/expansion. This usually happens 4-8 hours before the start of the league, but always ALWAYS before the start. I usually stream the process. Come say Hi :).
I HIGHLY recommend you to grab this update. I also update the filter 7-14 days after the league start to adjust it for the current economy, fit the meta more etc. This one is recommended too. You can follow me on twitter/github or add me ingame (NeverSink) to get informed if a new update is out. The remaining updates usually address bugs, community discoveries and small QOL features.
What IS FilterBlade?
A:www.FilterBlade.xyz is a website that not only allows you to simulate and download filters, but also allows you to persnalize and finetune them to your build and preferences. It also saves your changes and merges them into future filter versions!
My items disappear after a second. What should I do?
A: Click "Z". You're welcome. Your "always highlight" option was turned off.
How do I change feature X in the filter?
A: My recommended way is to go to www.FilterBlade.xyz and change it there in the customizer. You can search on the right side for whatever features you need. That's likely the easiest way to edit my filter, while having the ability to merge your changes into the lastest version.
Why do you keep mentioning FilterBlade?
A: Reason 1: Looting is very personal in POE. The game is about YOUR path. I'm confident that my filters are good, but they'll be even better for YOU, if you'll finetune them to be YOUR filters. The power of filterblade is to personalize my filter for your playstyle.
Reason 2: I have built www.FilterBlade.xyz from the ground up and have invested thousands of hours to get it to it's current, highly polished state. I've done it, so that people can do whatever changes they want, without breaking their filters and then complaining here or poking me ingame. I take some pride in it, it's pretty good. The site is free and has minimal ads. It has established itself as the #1 site for PoE1 and I hope we'll be able to achieve the same in PoE2.
Can I use key pickup, without showing all the hidden items
A: Yes!
In options -> UI scroll to "Key Pickup" -> Switch to "Use Bound Key"
Now go to Input and switch "Item pickup key" to "Alt"
Switch Highlight items and objects to "F" or some other hotkey.
This way you can use key pickup, without showing the hidden trash, if you hold alt (you can still show it, by holding "F)". You can still see item-levels, by holding the "F" key.
Can you create a filter for me with X changes?
A: No. You can post suggestions here, but if you want personalization, do it here: www.FilterBlade.xyz
Can I highlight rares with TIER X in the endgame?
A: Unfortunately as of 13.1.2025 you can't. I hope GGG will adjust this soon
Does this work for consoles?
A: Unfortunately as of 13.1.2025 you no. It works on geforce now by using the subscribe style filters. I hope a patch will improve this soon
I've found valuable [insertrandomunqiue] and it's not highlighted!
A: Filters can't distinguish between different uniques, only between basetypes. I can either highlight ALL uniques of a certain basetype or non.
If a single basetype has 2+ uniques - there's no way to implement the variation into the filter.
Example: a Temporalis is a "Silk Robe". There are 2 unique silk robes: "Temporalis" and "Cloak of Flames". Temporalis is very expensive, but very very rare (+bossdrop). I can either highlight both or highlight neither.
In such cases, I give uniques a blue star and a special multi-base category. Make sure to check those! Boss-drops are also hidden on uber-plus-strict, so you need to check them by hand!
You can also support development of the filter by checking out my Patreon Account.
This helps me to improve my hardware/software setup and help me slowly realize my dream to become an independent developer, who's making a living from working on his own projects for everyone's benefit.
You're very welcome to do anything you want with the filter, edit it, subversion it, use pieces from it for your own filter, write apps for it etc, there are just 3 small catches:
1) You have to provide a reference, that you got those pieces from my filter (MIT license)
2) Please don't post or link other filters/subversions in this thread. Thank you.
3) You're not allowed to use the images used in this thread for your purposes. I enjoy having my own style and spent a lot of time creating them.
Also please keep the "Thank you/Credits" section at the end of the filter!
