Quick Links
Path of Exile 2 loot filters significantly enhance gameplay, especially in the later stages when item drops surge. They declutter the screen, highlighting valuable items for easier and more efficient looting, particularly beneficial for console players using controllers.
While using filters on consoles might seem complex, this guide simplifies the process for PlayStation and Xbox users.
How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts
To utilize loot filters on PoE 2 consoles, you must link your console account to your Path of Exile account through the Path of Exile 1 website:
- Access the Path of Exile website and log in.
- Locate your account name (top-left corner) and click it.
- Select "Manage Account" from the options displayed.
- Under "Secondary Login," click "Connect" for either PlayStation or Xbox.
Follow the on-screen prompts to link your accounts using your existing PlayStation or Xbox credentials.
Finding and Using Loot Filters
After linking accounts, return to your website profile page and click the "Item Filters" button. Click the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink to access available filters.
Select "PoE 2" from the filter dropdown menu. Choose a filter (NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters are recommended for new players) and click "Follow."
With the filter followed, launch the game. Navigate to the Options menu, then the Game tab. Select your followed filter from the "Item Filter" dropdown menu and save your changes. The filter will now modify item appearances (labels, colors, sounds) in-game.
