Quick Links
Path of Exile 2 loot filters significantly enhance gameplay, especially in later stages with increased 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, loot filters are readily available for PlayStation and Xbox users. This guide details the steps to set them up.
How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts
To utilize loot filters on PoE 2's console versions, you must first link your console account to your Path of Exile account through the Path of Exile 1 website. Follow these instructions:
- Access the Path of Exile website and log in.
- Locate your account name in the upper-left corner and click it.
- Select "Manage Account" from the right-hand side, beneath your profile information.
- Under "Secondary Login," click the "Connect" button for either Sony (PlayStation) or Microsoft (Xbox).
After clicking "Connect," you'll be prompted to log in to your PlayStation or Xbox account. Complete the login 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. Then, click the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink. This opens a new tab displaying available loot filters for Path of Exile 2.
A drop-down menu above the filter list allows you to select "PoE 2." Choose your preferred filter and click the "Follow" button. New players might find NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters suitable.
Once you've followed a filter, open Path of Exile 2 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." Your in-game item drops will now be visually and/or audibly differentiated based on the filter's settings.
