Quick Links
Loot filters are invaluable in Path of Exile 2, especially as the item drops increase. They significantly reduce screen clutter, highlighting crucial items and streamlining the looting process. While managing items manually on console can be cumbersome, PlayStation and Xbox players can utilize item filters just like PC users. This guide simplifies the process of setting up and using loot filters on consoles.
How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts
To use loot filters on console versions of PoE 2, you must first link your console account to your Path of Exile account through the Path of Exile 1 website. Follow these steps:
- Log in to the Path of Exile website.
- Click your account name in the upper-left corner.
- Click "Manage Account" on the right, below your profile name and avatar.
- Under "Secondary Login," press "Connect" for either Sony (PS) or Microsoft (Xbox).
After selecting "Connect," you'll be prompted to log in to your PlayStation or Xbox account. Complete the process to link your accounts.
Finding and Using Loot Filters
With your accounts linked, return to your profile page on the website and click the "Item Filters" button on the right. Click the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink. This opens a new tab displaying available loot filters for Path of Exile 2.
Select "PoE 2" from the drop-down menu above the filter list. Choose your desired filter and click "Follow." New players might find NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters helpful.
After following a filter, open the game and navigate to the Options menu. Go to the "Game" tab; the "Item Filter" option is at the top. Select your chosen filter from the drop-down menu and click "Save." Items will now display with filter-defined labels, colors, or sound effects.
